5 out of 5 stars An Old Favorite   November 12, 2008
Literary Groupie (columbus,ga)
I got this song stuck in my head one day and just had to find a copy. Listening to it again reminded me of how much I loved it and how much fun my friends and I had listening to it "back in the day". I think this song will always be one of my favorite goofy songs.


5 out of 5 stars Different versions of one song   August 1, 2005

Almost 15 years after it's release "Tom's Album" is still available for sale and still one of the most groundbreaking CD's of it's kind. The CD contains different versions of the song "Tom's Diner." In brief, it's the same track with different lyrics and slight alterations to the track. Suzanne Vega is featured on the acoustic version and the version that radio picked up with the group DNA. Another popular version of the song Daddy's Little Girl by rapper Nikki D who raps about a girl who is a little too fast and finds herself pregnant. This was an original concept. I originally bought this album soley for the Suzanne Vega version but found several of the other versions pleasing.

4 out of 5 stars Great Album for Fans of "Tom's Diner"   February 3, 2002
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I don't know that this is the greatest album unless you're a fan of the song "Tom's Diner," but since that's who I figure it's geared toward, it's definitely worth having. You'll find just about everything you want here--and it will leave you wanting more! The album contains both the acapella as well as the DNA versions of "Tom's Diner" and a host of great remakes and parodies.

Two of my favorites are "Tom's ?" by Bingo Hand Job (a hilarious acapella parody) and "Jeannie's Diner" by Marilyn E Whitelaw & Mark Davis (a parody based on *I Dream of Jeannie* that was also used on a Nick at Night advertisement for the show).

For those who are more serious-minded, there's a Gulf War satire by Beth Watson and a social commentary by Nikki D. There are a couple of cool versions in foreign languages, a reggae version by Michigan & Smiley, a rather silly rap version by After One, and a version with some really cool instrumentals (albeit rather lacking vocals) by n.d.a. Project.

I'm not crazy about all the songs on the album (the After One rap version, in particular), but there's enough on here to keep me interested and laughing for a while. If you love "Tom's Diner," though--it's a must have.


5 out of 5 stars A must for those who like the song "Tom's Diner"   June 25, 2000

I personally like the song "Tom's Diner". Few years ago, my friend told me that there is an album with all variations of Tom's Diner. So I went search and search and finally got the CD. It was one of the best pop song CD in my collection and I am still holding it now. If you like Tom's Diner, this is definitely a must in your CD collection.
