Let's start with: TDN didn't do the original version (they were the ultimate cover band for most of their stuff): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mama_Told_Me_Not_to_Come
But yes I agree Tom Jones version cuts theirs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0njs6iiwjY << I love those LA bowling alley perfs--gathers all those self-important bung-warts in one place.
