Justin Lee Collins has recorded an album of original lounge music.
The comedian and TV presenter told BBC Newsbeat that the opportunity arose after he did a Tom Jones impression on Chris Moyles's Radio 1 show last year.
Collins said: "Some guys heard me singing Tom Jones, I think on Moyles, this was about a year ago.
"They asked to meet me and I thought, 'Well this is funny, they obviously want me to do some sort of novelty album like Justin Lee Collins Sings Tom'. I could picture the cover in my head."
He added: "I turned up with that in mind and they said, 'No, we want to do it properly'. I know it's absurd. No duets. There's just one voice on this album. My voice is my instrument and I love it.
"It's a mixture. Think sort of early Tom Jones, [Engelbert] Humperdinck, Tony Christie. It's totally straight, honestly. I think we might call it Another Side, but I'm not sure. Someone else said, 'Why don't you call it Too Long For The Bun', which I prefer but maybe it's too obscure."
