This one is Tom Jones being vicariously cool.
Even Wayne Newton would rock the house in a duet with Pearl.

This reminds me of an amusing article I once read in National Lampoon.

In it, the author set the scene in a little diner with the tabletop juke boxes. He pointed out that the beginning and end of "What's New Pussycat" is seamless. That is to say, you can't tell when the song ends and starts anew. It's like a loop.

Anyway he put $5 in the box and punched Pussycat until he was out of selections. The second time it played people were just thinking the song was longer than they remembered, but after three times people started to fidget and react, with one guy stirring his coffee with nervous vigor. After the fourth time, diners were looking around and getting out of their seats to walk over to the juke box to see what was going on. On the fifth one the guy at the counter spilled his coffee and left.

Wish I was there, but I don't know how many I could stand myself. whoah whoa-whooh wohaa whoa
