   The artist name for the Tom Jones version would not meet the criteria for this   
   particular round. Answers had to be in the form of " and the ",   
   but this single was released as by "The Art of Noise featuring Tom Jones." See   
   https://www.   
   discogs.com/release/411973-The-Art-Of-Noise-Featuring-Tom-Jones-Kiss for   
   images of the single as released.
