His long streaming dark hair covers his neck and streams over his suit coat. His long sideburns add more style to Tom’s appearance and sex request. Tom sings the verses, ‘Whatcha going to do when your baby leaves.’
Halfway through the melody, the dancers circle up around Tom, and he makes a few cool 60s dance moves. He is snapping and thrashing his arms with total surrender, and his hips are moving as well!
