14 Nov 2008: Bond... James Bond

[urth]

11/14/08 - Bond....James Bond

   1. John Barry Orchestra: The James Bond Theme
   2. Duran Duran: A View To A Kill
   3. Nancy Sinatra: You Only Live Twice
   4. Jack White/Alicia Keys: Another Way to Die
   5. Shirley Bassey: Goldfinger (BEST OF SET!!)
   6. A-Ha: The Living Daylights
   7. Carly Simon: Nobody Does It Better
   8. McCartney & Wings: Live & Let Die
   9. Sheena Easton: For Your Eyes Only
  10. Gladys Knight: License to Kill

Bonus Track: Rosalee in for Annalisa asked "What is M's secretary's first name?"  the answer: Jane.  ("Moneypenny. Jane Moneypenny.")

Rosalee said "I'm going to pass up Madonna's Bond song," so the winner got to announce Johnny Rivers' Secret Asian Man theme song.

So the Chris Cornell "new one" and Herb Alpert's Casino Royale theme we heard a couple years back got axed in favor of the Jack White/Alicia Keys New One (no surprise) and the Gladys Knight License to Kill theme. Glad we got Gladys, but I'd have much preferred keeping Herb Alpert and letting the new Unholy Mess fall by the wayside.

Wow. Anyone going to Quantum today?

I'll see it eventually -- reviews are mixed.

Just saw it.  Strongly recommend.

Tuned in early for the replay, and Big Rick just played "the unholy mess"... which we're gonna hear again in about 20 minutes

I guess KFOG is actually putting the song into regular rotation, which is more than they did for the White Stripes better stuff. (Or the Chris Cornell Casino Royale theme 2 years ago, which got played on 10@10 and promptly disappeared, iirc.)

ETA: and here's AC/DC's "Highway to Hell", which is challenging "Wheel in the Sky" for Most Played Oldie of the Month

 10. Gladys Knight: License to Kill

OK, please tell me I'm not crazy -- I didn't notice this morning, but on the replay it seemed quite clear that Gladys was deliberately mispronouncing "kill" as "KILT" -- I mean, WTF?  Was that some sort of "I'm a Mormon so I can't advocate killing" thing? Go find it on YouTube and listen again. Bizarre!

Sean Connery, of course, really DOES have a license to kilt:

"I'm a Mormon so I can't advocate killing"

Brandon Flowers of the Killers is a Mormon, so I doubt that.

"I'm a Mormon so I can't advocate killing"

Brandon Flowers of the Killers is a Mormon, so I doubt that.

Is he Mormon, or is he Dancer?

I should have seen that one coming.  Well played.
