TOM JONES & THE CARDIGANS - Burning Down The House (1999)

[LTF6161]

Jones is awesome here.She can't keep up live.

[Insaneronald]

Talking heads ! 

[DavidM4725]

I bet TJ hated doing this, his voice was made for singing u fuckers!!

[upthesharkies1]

miming

[maxzein]

potevate tagliare il pezzo che dimostra quanto è ignorante quel demente di celentano??? meno male che ci sono Tom e Nina......

[impaliamoli]

@maxzein diçesi LIçENZA POETIçA

[Corzoko]

Thumbs up if back2soul got you to come here

[jwsmite]

miming down the house

[brettri1]

ID BURN HER...motmotmot

[ryanskapa]

she's cute - cute voice too

[666BBF666]

THIS WEIGH BETTER THAN TALKING HEADZ !!!

[1banryukyu]

Mr. Jone

Will be rocking when he is 105 years old. Respect do

[adamcrookedsmile]

this duet simply doesn't work, Tom Jones is a way more powerful and skilled vocalist than Lina Persson. Whenever they sing together, his voice skills just take over.

[SuperLancevancedance]

@2:58 - damn ! thats close @2:59 Shit not again !!!

[greeney76]

I would burn her back door down

[CelesteK]

The original by Talking Heads is so much better.  :(

[MrSKINFLICK]

Yep, if ya can´t burn down the house

you should burn it OUT at least,

oh my fuckin goodness, Italia !

[oPLightning]

neanke bravo a leggere il nome della canzone ignorante

[ROMANTIKILLER2]

When band are asked to perform during these tv shows, usually the rule is that they lip-synch. I remember once something really funny happened with Muse: they had been asked to lip-synch, and they did ... but switching all the members of the band! There was Matt at the drums and Chris singing with Matt's voice, hilarious!

Anyway, Nina is freaking hot.

[musicollector1975]

Lip-synching or not, they did sing the song. And, they did a fabulous job. Like it better than the Talking Heads version.

[bschin2188]

Wow, this is amazing! I've never been a huge fan of the original, but this is really something else!

[JJSparrow1]

@stephanregorroger2 it protects his ear drums from the music being too loud

[stephanlmao]

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE MALE SINGER WAS BLACK! dont ya agree?

[greeney76]

She is sexy..wow.

[mantastic69er]

if they are really singing, then i am the king of England

[therealgamerman64]

The keyboard player is using one hand and his cock.

[emiloversej]

bad lip syncing is bad

[MrDarkShadow64]

Very well done. I remember when this song first came out with the TH. These guys did a great cover - at least as good as the original - and I didn't think that would be possible. Very sexy girl - distinctive voice. Tom Jones can make anything sound good and he makes good sound great - phenomenal singer. Very impressive.

[OberonRacing]

Seems like they forgot to turn the mic on and left the radio on.

[juliansu27]

alstima el pay back por las veces qe la escuche es la vercion oficial jajajaj , pero gracias por subirla salduos

[bbgossip2000]

that voice is unreal

[RainPoetry]

Wow. I never would have this would have worked, but it's great. It's also a credit to such a rockin' song by the Talking Heads.

[anatolie811]

Cinta foarte frumos,este cea mai buna interpretare a acestui cintec pe care am privit!!

[BoltonBon]

MAAAAAYYYYYY HOUSE

you can tell he loves saying that.

[MrWheezey]

so obvious they ain't singing live

[angrydwarfofdoom]

Burnzing OUT zhe house! :)

[sovtek01]

steal panthert

[Kalasnikolor]

ma tutti in playback

[Rohasusa]

Beautiful woman ?? Wake up and look again

[Rompa87]

Tom's voice is too powerful to be able to sing live with Nina. When they recorded the song, they had to tone down his singing so that Nina's singing could be heard

[snowdoniafarms]

LIKE I SAID SHE IS USELESS NO PARALLEL TO TOM

[snowdoniafarms]

THAT BLOND IS PATHETIC ..........I THINK INTIMIDATED BY TOM

[rlinfinity]

that's the hottest i've seen her at

[Pricklyman]

I wish they actually did it as opposed to lip synching

[MsWouter79]

this is not live this is playback..;-(

[lalelalelas]

idiota di celentano 3 paroline doveva imparà!

[Tranchera]

The show probably didn't have enough funds to get real instruments and a PA system for the band. After all, they didn't even know what the song was called.

Burning Out the House.

[Invissibl]

im left your right she's gone

Thats the favorite from Tom Jones!!!!!

YOU GOT TO KISTEN TO IT!!!!!!

[Invissibl]

i like: im left your right she's gone. By Tom Jones and somone else i allways forget the name of!

Its better than this!(in my thaughts)

You have to try/listen to that song!!!!!!

xD xD xD xD xD xD xD

[sloppypickles]

this isn't even live? it's the studio version dubbed

[radiochiko]

play back fake fake fakeeee!

[linnx88]

Awesomeness!! She's a Nordic Beauty!!

[horacio303]

Beatiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i love this woman.

[tubelogin1]

@horacio303 you mad? she's a dog.

[ray8271820]

brill my fave id throw my pants at her . foxy bridgford

[CuylerHillKing]

GO TOM ! Best cover of this song . Anyone know a better one ?The eye candy sounds good too .

[buitrox]

They make a great duo... reminds me of Green Day and Elvis Costello.

[isoz85]

yeaaahhhahahhah this is tom style.!...!.!.

[wheetman]

I wonder if theyre lip syncing... seems a little odd.

[sigfurt]

@Megamusic2000 she's a lady!!!!!

[kada0601]

It's called eye shadow people, she is not that hot. Truly beuatiful women don't need to plaster on make up

[07martin1981]

@Megamusic2000 yes she is, but doesn't know to jump in or not at 0:51. Beautiful anyway.

[hyperthreaded]

She has eagle eyes, and then those dimples. Even all the makeup looks great on her! That woman is radiating raw hotness, and you can see that she knows it :-P

[slegnAfOytiC]

que bosta!

[padgo98]

burning out the house , thats a good one

[T0T0RINNA]

QUE GROSSSO TOMM

[T0T0RINNA]

[BLUESLASH13]

[joshwelljonesfirst]

Nina Persson. always like her music. great to see her share a gig with tom"

[joshwelljonesfirst]

Sh't So glad i have found this version with tom and Nina Persson' my Favorite by a long way. can some one give me more on Nina'

[scrubs22suchti]

wow the woman is so sexy wow !

[90carlw]

How obvious is it that they are miming?

[MisterWhat]

You got to respect Jones. He acts cool and sounds manly no matter what kind of song it is.

[zennon22]

0:53 - 1:00 OMG that sexy look makes me : JIZZ IN MY PANTS

[DMIBinario]

@zennon22 the song is called "burning down the house" not "jizzing down my pants" = D

[jaypeddie]

this is kinda awful? but she's looking good

[therealgamerman64]

She has the perfect female voice, and he has the manliest male voice.

She is also super cute.

[LaurenO27]

Nina Persson is so gorgeous! Great voice too.

[mollymaiden]

She have a runny nose? :52 she seems to wipe?

[MindingMyOwnBiz]

lol I hate that vegas voice, so irritating to me, lol. Tom Jones! hilariuos

[pearcake]

The Cardigans trigger major memories from the 90s for me :P

[Neville6000]

@pearcake: Me too.

[Rubenkn]

It's not live unfortunately

[DiscordantAbsolution]

tom jones is the king of pimps

[skaskinhead79]

@DiscordantAbsolution

he's so pimp id bet he did both our moms.

simultanously.

[JonnyLikesPie]

I got to 21 seconds and had to leave...

[NightseekingBear]

Is it me or are they lip syncing? lol Just wondering. Great vid though.

[MrSKINFLICK]

0:09: Ah yeah, burning DOWN the house is NOT ENOUGH, Mr Berlus-conni, da house must also be burned OUT, ah ha, ha ha.....

[supersonicoasisgirl]

Nina forever!!!!

[soultaker704]

this isnt live..

[choralstuart]

she is awesome if you watch her when younger the cardigans rock!

[lnvm]

nice song, i like when one track has a combination between woman´s voice with and man´s voice

[g1code]

So I'm not Swedish .. but why are Swedish women as in Cardigans , Ace of base , ABBA , Roxette , ..etc are so decent ??

They just play music .. no going as crazy as it gets , no showing too much of legs , britney madonna mouth to mouth , songs with 3some , repulsive , exploring and digging too much for more sexual content .. cant but love true artists

[Burqua12]

@g1code Very interesting question and point of view. Maybe Sweden has enough to deal with being famous/infamous for the "Swedish sin". The true artists might have to compensate for that. Maybe the opposite is the case for American artists?

[whenindoubt20]

As good as they both are, she always sounds very cool and detached, and this isn't a song to sound bored on. Tom, on the other hand, nailed that shit.

[TouchMeTherePlease]

Looks like a bimbo

[SugaryDoll]

Nina Persson (the blond girl in the vid) is NOT a bimbo. She's the complete opposite.

[crispindogs4]

looks like avril lavigne

[calixto3x]

LOL she is tooo mucho than avril ladinne jajaja oops lavigne lol she was first

[kellyfortune]

she's so hot. This doesn't sound live though, not that im so much as listening to the song as i am drooling over the blonde...

[JacKass00001]

The blonde bimbo swede meets the welsh tiger. Wales wins by the score of -10 to 5.

Sorry, but no talent just turns me off!!

[e30cab]

ahhhhhh der tiger, es kann nur einen geben

[tiedyedkarma]

There can be only one!

[ZAMOY92]

It's sounds like playback, not like live

[BenassyDrey]

@ZAMOY92 i think so

[onejoshua]

solita figura di CaCCa di adriano celentano...

[LordAdrian]

nice cover

[nobodyhome8]

My only comment is that she is sooo smokin' hot! She's a very good and sultry singer, too, but I honestly can't get much past how gorgeous she is. At least I'm honest!

[mcresq65]

Oh absolutely!

[dalloste]

burning OUT de house? ajaj

[swirlingabyss]

@dalloste If you listen you can hear Tom Jones try to correct him.

[Fordesman]

yerr Nina is one looker. lol

[leenuke21]

gotta love her voice

[telepathyah]

Jeeez! She has the voice of an angel... if angels existed ofc...

[damiannerd]

Nina's face draws you in so much and her eyes are so attractive. Her voice is so charming and mysterious. And as for Tom Jones well he is being awesome and proud as ever. These two singers are poles apart and together this song is excellent. By the way this is better than the original by talking heads in my opinion.Notice how TJ keeps looking at her to make sure he isnt drowning her out with his booming voice, or he likes her which I cant blame him for either, mostly they are enjoying themselves

[momomatte]

yeah, except the fact that this is a playback...

[overgoor1620]

its cool song, but isnt live, it is a karaoke :/

[rental05]

this song is like dope in my veins :D

[aledparry]

Nina Persson is hot :). But fair play Tom Jones; He's 59 in this video :O. I could only dream of being that hot when I'm that age!

[ivanullo]

burning out the house..che ignoranza...e cmq è tutto nettamente in playback!

[monocorner]

i think it's better then the origiunal

[apolo777]

SHES SO HOTTTTTT!...but the song isn't as good as the original one

[drunkenmasterFTW]

"burning out the house" hahaha :D

[GaNgStAzErO44]

Awesome TOM JONES !!!!!!

TOM JONES 4 EVER !!

The most Awesomest Voice.. Yea!

[RedArcher1978]

If I were a singer I wish I had Tom's voice:fantastic!

[Rompa87]

They have never performed this song live without playback due to the difference in voice strength between Tom and Nina. Tom's voice is much stronger/louder, which posed some difficulties when first recording the song

[effnikk]

That was one of my first thoughts: Loud\soft, when I saw the orig. video not to mention how pretty Nina looks. . But it works. They did compress the heck outta his voice. They could of still made it work live as they did in the studio. I can't stand tracked performances!

[sweetdave40]

She is HOT!!!

[douglasss167]

she is the most sexy thing in this planet

[jetwowairforce]

Excellent...!!!!!!

[treppenlift]

It's a playback, but it's still good

[nihilista69]

yes... it's so obvius... ja ja ja

[gloomyoutlook]

the chick from cardigans looks like kirsten dunst, and thus very fucking hot

[tartansam]

lol at Tom Jones-"yes I will wear earpieces to look like I am singing live even though I am clearly not"

why did he bother? lol

[pk1001]

the girl IS AMAZING H O T!

[StopBeinANiger89]

lmao terrible lip synching

[TMoneySack]

burning OUT the house!

[esalife]

Absolutely my Fav!!!!!!!!

very very nice version....

perfect combination..

Magic Byrne!

[esalife]

STREPITOSA interpretazione...!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

Magic Byrne e Magic Celentano!!!!!!!!!!!!!

La Persson e Tom Esplosiviiiii!!!

MY FAV FIVEFIVE

[erflaz]

due volte che non riesce a dire il titolo esatto ...presentatore idiota

[TheCardigansMusic]

RAI UNO!

[blabbydog]

Nice song ,good voice, pretty girl- too much eye-liner though :)

[RealSportsTalkdotnet]

this is too good

[Br1an37]

I love this girl

she has a fantastic voice

so sexy :-)

[Br1an37]

This song is awesome

Nina is such a gorgeous girl and her voice is so sexy

Nina and Toms power go so well together

[ruddster21]

I can't believe I just watched that crap. Talk about butchering a song. And women used to throw their panties to this guy back in the 70's and I here they still do. I do believe I have lost all respect for Tom Jones.

[cyberfish102]

fukuruddsterthisishot! the video is better!

[AgrarianReformist]

Why did you have respect for Tom Jones to begin with?

[SIMONP1965]

ha ha ha ha ha ha tom jones... ha ha ha ha ha...

[AgrarianReformist]

lol

[Dogheadj]

Tom Jones singing Talking Heads? He'd be better off putting on a hat and sitting in for Brian Johnson (AC/DC) when Brian's ill. Then again, maybe not.

[fhfhfhfhfh456]

This is bad. The original slays it.

[spamdude060]

i stil lik the talking head one, but this ones prety hot

[ALPQZM654]

Boy this sucks. Great job.

[seboekffm]

Burning out the house - what a stupid idiot....harharhar

[sickgirlPL]

stupid idiot,  find me smart one hahaha

[Romulus14]

=)) Playback! If I were them I wouldn't do it!

[kdko]

haha, man this is bad.

[Jackalski57]

Two of my favorite vocalists doing one of my all-time favorite songs - cool - Thanks for posting it!

[Fedemgo]

this was a beauty song =(

[SmyQ23]

This IS a beauty song.

"Burning au the house" :D

[bossembma]

It's not just a playback 100 %. Tge drummer is 100% Ninas drummer and playing for real... !

[mafto]

firstly - he isn't nina's drummer but cardigans' drummer and even if he had played for real......so what? the fact that they really sing and the band really plays doesn't mean it is not a playback :)

as to the drummer - i don't see any change when the sound of open hi-hat is heard...so i think he doesn't open it and i am not utterly sure but it looks like the crash cymbal has stuck something to its surface to mute the cymbal - check out 0:59

and T. J. doesn't sing to the mic..

[lobox1984]

Tema para genial.. un duo espectacular¡¡¡

[AlexandriaM]

lol this is terrible.

[azraeltear]

I hate playbacks!!

But I forgive.. I'd kill for her eyes.

Really, I could suck them out and eat them :)

[isannnna]

He is more than 60 man. He can not do the same things he did when he was young. He is more sober now. It's normal. But still great ofcourse

[MrUssy007]

that girl is soo hot. toms lost his style man, his shirts and belts... but he's stil got the voice

[uzielis]

Just heard this song on the radio for the first time earlier today. I knew it was Nina Persson singing but I didn't get the guy, I thought it was African American. When the dj described the song, I was pleasantly surprised that I was correct about The Cardigans and Tom Jones! Tom Jones?! Dude, pretty talented!
