Mr. Jones may refer to:
Mr. Jones is a 1993 American romantic drama film starring Richard Gere, Lena Olin, Anne Bancroft, Tom Irwin and Delroy Lindo, and directed by Mike Figgis.
Mr. Jones (Gere) is a man suffering from bipolar disorder, a disease that affords him periods of intense emotional pleasure and expansiveness but which also results in periods of suicidal depression. In one of his manic periods he jumps up onto the stage during a concert performance of Beethoven's ninth and starts conducting, resulting in his arrest. Libbie Bowen (Olin), a doctor at a psychiatric hospital, takes an interest in his condition and falls for him, has sex with him, and has to resign from her position.
The film was released to mixed reviews; movie historian Leonard Maltin remarked that "Gere is fine, but his onscreen behavior turns this into The Jester of Tides." Indeed, Gere received praise for his performance as the troubled title character. Many critics noted that the film would've been better if the romance plot between Jones and Libbie was left out, since it appeared forced and contrived.
"Mr. Jones" is a song by American alternative rock band Counting Crows. It was released in December 1993 as the lead single and third track from their debut album, August and Everything After (1993). It was the band's first radio hit and one of their most popular singles.
"Mr. Jones" entered the American Top 40 on February 19, 1994, and entered the Top 10 five weeks later. On April 23, "Mr. Jones" passed R. Kelly's "Bump n' Grind", taking the number-one position (which it surrendered, the following week, to Prince's "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World").
The band's surprise success happened to coincide with Kurt Cobain's death. These events took a significant toll on Adam Duritz, the lead vocalist and principal songwriter. Duritz said in an interview, "We heard that, that [Kurt] had shot himself. And it really scared the hell out of me because I thought, these things in my life are getting so out of control...". These events and feelings were the basis for "Catapult", the first track of Recovering the Satellites.

Refugee camp
Turn me up, give me some more
Tom Jones, you're ready, baby
Yeah that's it, let go
1, 2, Tom's coming for you
3, 4, gonna bust through your door
5, 6, you better lock up your chicks
7, 8, before it's to late
Act right, ladies seem forgot body
Feel like pussycats come out late night
No matter where they roam
They're always gonna come home to Tom Jones
Thirty years strong, never went wrong
Still in the game, I decide when I'm gone
Now, I'm gonna set the whole house on fire
I won't stop rocking till I retire
You know and I know you gotta move on the dance floor
We're blowing up this party with this sex bomb
Take my hand, understand, I'll rock for years all across the land
So let me see you shake it 'til the sun comes
1, 2, Tom's coming for you
3, 4, gonna bust through your door
5, 6, you better lock up your chicks
7, 8, before it's to late
Now, you're in the mood so let me see you move
I got you hypnotized with the sound of the groove
From London to L.A. and back to the N.Y.
Turn on your satellites so we can see it worldwide
You know and I know you gotta move on the dance floor
We're blowing up this party with this sex bomb
Take my hand, understand, I'll rock for years all across the land
So let me see you shake it 'til the sun comes
1, 2 Tom's coming for you
3, 4 gonna bust through your door
5, 6 you better lock up your chicks
7, 8 before it's to late
Pussycats come out late night
Girl, you make me wanna holler
Tom Jones international, baby
Tom Jones international, baby
Tom Jones international, baby
1, 2 Tom's coming for you
3, 4 gonna bust through your door
5, 6 you better lock up your chicks
7, 8 before it's to late

Tom Jones, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Tom Jones
