Tom sang the crap out of Under Pressure, yes?
I think it beat out the Aimee Mann show as my favorite "Tom Sings".

I've missed a bunch, of course.  Other nominations?

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" was one of the weirdest, most touching, weirdest radio performances ever.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Singing along to all of Bridge Over Troubled Waters record to Sathington is still my favorite

The Santhington BOTW episode is my most listened to TBS.

Someone needs to collect his singing on to a web page somewhere "THE GREATEST HITS OF TOM".

Lets not forget Tom's love affair with Moulin Rouge!

Didn't he do Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway at one point? I love when Tom sings. It's hilarious, yet poignant.

Is this archived? I don't think I've heard it.

Another vote for Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway."  A perfect ending to a somewhat rocky show, if I remember correctly.

You can download Tom's wonderful "Breakaway" in .m4a format here:

My vote -- Tom serenading Studio 54 alum Manny with two Belle and Sebastian songs.  I listen to this at least once a week.  The pre-singing banter with Manny is also amazing.  Tom tells him that he once arm-wrestled Diane von Furstenberg and injured her wrist.  Manny dug the B&S, comparing it to a cross between Dan Hartman and the Brit lilt of John Lennon.

I put in a personal request for Tom to sing "Green Shirt" after his stellar performance of "Under Pressure." I think he could kill that one.
See God, Kai

Though technically not ON TBSOWFMU, I am a big fan of Tom's version of "Magic Carpet Ride" that he did with the Hoof and Mouth Simfonia at the end of some Marathon one year.  I only heard it once, but it's been reverberating in my head for years.

"Paradise By the Dashboard Light" (with Pseu Braun) is another showstopper. Possibly my favorite Hoof & Mouth track, period.

Tom's rendition of "Celluloid Heroes" almost brought me to tears. my personal favorite.
