DNA feat. Suzanne Vega, "Tom's Diner"

Rocky Road

From Classic Rock to Progessive to hip hop to today's hot new tunes!

An Inmate complained that, with our coverage of the music of 1990, we "forgot about" DNA's trip hop remake of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner."

In the early-80s, while a student at Barnard College, Vega went to a Tom's Restaurant. "Tom's Diner" would appear twice on Vega's 1987 album, Solitude Standing . One is acapella, the other with piano and guitar accompaniment.

In 1990, DNA took Vega's vocals, and spliced them onto a rhythm track from Soul II Soul's "Keep On Movin'." The result was a #5 hit.

Tom's Restaurant would, in the 90s, appear on Seinfeld .
