Tom Jones Wants Dizzee Rascal Collaboration

Tom Jones has a strange collaboration in mind - he would like to work with UK rapper Dizzee Rascal.
The Welsh crooner says he was impressed by Dizzee's hit single Dance Wiv Me, which topped the singles charts earlier this year.
"I like his song, 'Dance Wiv Me', it's a British rap, which is great," Jones told Bang Showbiz. "It doesn't have to be American to be gangster, but this is happy rap. I'd have him rapping on one of my records if it called for it."
Elsewhere in the interview, Tom also revealed that Arctic Monkeys are fans of his work, as the indie band revealed to the singer when they met at an awards ceremony after party.
"[I] got talking to Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys in the pub afterwards," Jones added. "He was going on about 'Love Me Tonight', a song I did in 1969. He said, 'That song is slamming.' They listen to it in the dressing room before they go on."
