OVOmusic / Suzanne Vega _ Tom's Diner.

"Tom's Diner" is an a cappella pop song written in 1981 by American singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega. It was first released as a track on the January 1984 issue of Fast Folk Musical Magazine[1]. The first time it was featured on any of her own studio albums was as the first track of her own Solitude Standing album in 1987. It was later used as the basis for a popular remix by the British group DNA in 1990. The 1991 release Tom's Album includes the DNA version as well as cover versions by such artists as After One, Chicago-based band Canasta, and "Bingo Hand Job" (R.E.M. and Billy Bragg). It was also used as the background soundtrack for the opening scene of the 1993 film Untamed Heart.

  • 1984? Is it really that old? I thought this was from 2003 or 2004, for that's when I first heard it, maybe the 90s at most. But 1984? This was WAYYY ahead of it's time! It sounds like something you would here now by one of those alternative artists.

  • yes, has a very 90s coffee house feel, which is why it probably charted so well upon it's re-release/remix in the early 90s.
