I was in Paris when I caught a Tom Jones video with him doing "Sex Bomb" (Peppermint Disco Radio Mix). Leave it to the French to love this kind of thing. Anyway, every time the video came up, I became more and more entranced. This is a sparkling slice of cheese. The lyrics are so bad, they're good. And the music really is bootie shakin'.

Funky, groovy, only slightly cooler than hell (meaning hot hot hot). What can you say about Tom Jones and Mousse T together, other than, wow. Wow.

My husband and I heard this song in Quebec, where a really cute pair of college guys use it in their street act. Yes, leave it to the French! :) But I'm still humming it...

I LOVE Tom Jones but was very disappointed in this CD.
It was just one song repeated several times on the disk.

GREAT REMIX TO DANCE AND PARTY.
I ONLY WISH IT WOULD CONTAIN THE INSTRUMENTAL/KARAOKE VERSION OF THE SONG.

I have an old beat up copy of this single and I gave it a listen in order to test it for skipping or other problems. What I got was a funky, Retro-ey, Disco-ey, dancey and soulful-ey extravaganza! You get five versions here:

1- Album Version - Soulful and upbeat.

2- Peppermint Disco Radio Mix

3- Peppermint Disco Mix - Both of these versions are very retro (hence the "Disco" modifier in the mix title) reminiscent of Chic's sound. Let the good times roll!

4- Strike Boys Mix - More of a Funky R&B flavor with an acappella intro.

5- Sounds Of Life Half Vocal Mix - This is a Dub mix with some vocals, still a fun listen.

P.S. my cd did not skip.
