Cardigans, The - Burning Down The House Lyrics

Man i love Tom... I got to see him live in detroit about 2 years ago.. was a great show an he still sounds amazing..

I love the way tom has always stayed current throughout his career. You rock dude :)

I could never have imagined my life without Tom Jones. He has brought so much joy into all of our lives. Thank you!

Январь 2020! :)

tom jones doesnt look much older then the last time I saw him, on beavis and butthead show

Awosome duet

I like TJ, but absolutely NO to this remake👎

No one cares about your opinon.

The Talking Heads did the original.

It's kinda underwhelming. Did they tone down Toms voice in production to create something more homogenised?

A perfect representation of Australia's bushfires

Burning Down the House

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight Wait till the party's over
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag
Time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet! Hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown! Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you expect
Gonna burst into flame
Fighting fire with fire

My house! Is out of the ordinary
That's right! Don't wanna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
And I don't know what you expect staring into your TV set
Fighting fire with fire

Tom Jones una leyenda¡ Un escogido de los dioses¡

The contrast between their voices and vocal styles is startling, but it works. I wouldn’t have thought of pairing them.

makes you wonder.....if Elvis had lived, what kind of collaborations with more "current" artists may have occurred!

In love with Nina Persson since the 90's

Waow !!! GIN(): )

Duck Dawwwwwwwwwwwgers

Kinda works for me. I'm surprised. 👍

RIP Tom Jones , Talking Heads, and anything original left in this horrible fucking world

Another comment. Tom Jones is a Monster

Wow, Tom still has it!

whos in 2020

Tom. Jones. Is.The.MAN....

Jedyne co zgadza się z moim wyobrażeniem, zanim ujrzałem teledysk, to postać Toma Jones'a. Jakoś tak, właśnie, wyobrażałem sobie jego postać. Reszta, zupełnie inna.

Boy she sounds flat.

The Voice of Nina don't fits to the powerful voice of Tom

I love her but your right it's a miss match

She is great but you are right. I think Tom Jones voice is to powerful for almost anyone to sing a deut with him. Nina is awesome but Tom is a talent that is phenomenal.

Tom has been the same age since 1970 - possibly a vampire

I hope he doesn't gave blue balls.😏

Stupid cover. But Tom Jones, OMG!

Tom Jones what a voice , what a legend !

When i see preview, i think, thats maybe gaga

Pure shit. Tom Jones has always been a joke though.

Tom’s a house afire. Her pathetic vocals ruin the duet. Almost anyone else would’ve been better.

Cool babies 😎

I like Tom Jones but he does to Talking Heads what he does to Randy Newman - Tries to play it cool without keeping any of the nervousness that’s important to the theme of the song!

Merry christmas. Don't know who you are but you're beautifull. I love you bb 😘

So, who else had the mp3 that featured that robot voice going “this is a free download from Mondo Net” or some rubbish...?

Yes, love Tom Jones forever ☺🙏❤💯🙌

He's still got it after all these years! 🏆🏆🏆👍👍👍💛🐝💛🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jones Rocks

Tom Jones is the coolest at any age.

I’m disgusted

Es el abuelito de la cantante

Interesting.

Could have been such a great video if Tom Jones have not done a mountain of blow before the shooting, those goofy close-ups really killed it for me.

QUE DUO

Nothing like Amplifying the 80s with a hit band from the 90s and a awesome singer from the 70s

Tom Jones is one of my top 5 L.V.-kind of singer favourites... I think he could even have been on my top 50 singer whole-genre, but he would have added some flavour more to his bouquet of repertoire. He's very versatile, and he got personality alongside with a great explosive voice and technique.

Tom Jones gives it all to every moment!

if u digg toms voice, check out his tiny desk appearance.

Didn't know what to expect, it's good

just answered it my own question - it was done in 1999.

when was this done?

On "My Favourite Game", she's great. Here she sounds like a squeaky pull-string doll compared to Tom. His voice completely overwhelms hers, and this was a bad choice for a duet.

Tom Jones can sing ! wow

Who else wishes they would have let rip a real bold guitar solo on this?

Great version, great video.great editing.

Non-cgi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBUe_v6Mi70 ... ten thousend times better...

Listening up to 2020?

Should have done this with Robbie Williams instead.

Clark nah, Robbie would just end up trying to sing over Tom Jones

mo KAY 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why did that post 4 times??!!??!!

Nina Persson= Visually Mesmerizing!! :-D

More Kelly Bundy ... less Al

Better than Taylor Swift imo.

That's a pretty long list.

The bloke has a good voice.

And the chick

Том представитель вкуса , и девушка соответствует!

Watching videos in 480p in 2019 is just awesome...

She looks like gwenyth paltrow in The Royal Tennenbaums

1000 comment! This video reminds me of JXL- A little less conversation. Love it!

Wow! 📱😹

I can totally see Tom Jones as the guy who loses it and burns down the house. 😆 In a good way.

fukkin' <3 it!

Watch out you might get what you're after
Boom babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag
Time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet! Hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown! Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work and baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

My house! Is out of the ordinary
That's right! Don't wanna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
And I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire

Tom Jones is a legend!

Is this a Master Class on how to ruin an otherwise great song?

Good cover!

1:26 BOO

I absolutely love the originally but this one of the few remakes that can do it right. Unlikely combo that's just smokin!

love the talking heads. never liked this song. still dont. nice video though

Mitski brought me here

Original by Talking Heads?

At one time I thought lady ga ga was the worst thing I ever heard ! This takes the cake

Tom needs to sue Mona museum....

Tom Jones is the man!!!

Damn Tom Jones sounds unique

Random Guy: no one can top the Talking Heads song Burning Down the House
Tom Jones: hold my beer

Thanks ...

Yea no way does this top the original aha

Just no.

Welcome to my post, good ole Tommy!

Tom Jones could a Friggin recipe and it would be AMAZING. G.O.A.T.

How did I never know about this? Fantastic.

Mmmkkkkay, threw my wet paties at the screen

c'est un morceaux de talking head, cool la version :)

Tom and Nina really did an epic performance on this song. I listen to it all the time. I wish the silver dancers had faced they reminding of the killer in american horror story 1st season it really creeps me out. I know the video was made before the show, but seeing Nina and Tim and hearing their singing makes up for it.

Old men and cardigans seem to hand in hand....

Kristen Bell!
