but, as Casino Royale opens tomorrow, a "Best Bond Themes" 10@10 would be totally groovy, no?

DHM: Die Another Day
DHM = "Dishonorable mention", yes? (If so, I agree). Glad to see A-Ha's forgotten "Living Daylights" on your list -- one of the few Bonds songs not to chart in the US. An overlooked gem, IMHO. In fact, your list is quite similar to mine, tho' I have a soft spot for the orig "Casino Royale" (Herb Alpert), even if that technically isn't a "real" Bond film. What was the one Gladys Knight did? "License to Kill?" One quibble: "Look of Love" isn't a "title" song. But then Octopussy didn't have one either for obvious reasons.
-
I'd also have "Diamonds are Forever" (another brassy Bassey, iirc) on my list, and I think Alice Cooper's "Man With The Golden Gun" is better than what the producers came up with.

Gah, oversight! I knew I'd forget one. Put Shirley II at No. 4 on my list. :) I've never heard "Casino Royale"!
-
I've never heard "Casino Royale"!
Just your typical jaunty Alpert instrumental (there were lyrics -- utterly dreadful ones -- over the closing credits version, but the instrumental version was the radio hit). I'd wager you HAVE heard it, without knowing what it was.
-
Would be much preferable to what we're more likely to hear: a LFTA set, which explains why we heard 73 on a Thursday.

Damn... yer probably right. Hope Inessa's finally back from vacay.

Actually, YOU'RE right--Dave just mentioned it on the morning show--an all-Bond 10@10. I'm in shock. He's sure Shirley Bassey and Duran Duran are in, still on the fence about Herb Alpert. So let's send encouragement for that one.

Indeed. And now I gotta wonder: has he been lurking again, or was this Dave's idea independent of this forum?

it's possible he's a Bond fan -- he's done a Bond set once before, no? Or maybe Columbia/Sony greased a few palms at Cumulus...
I emailed him to suggest Alpert, A-ha, Nancy Sinatra and Sheena Easton (lotsa luck!) and then I went to the "Turkeys" blog to vote for "Tarzan Boy".
ETA: also, Dave probably thinks Daniel Craig is HOT.
-
Barry, John Barry: he totally rules!
-
BOS (of course!) to brassy Miss Bassey. Fab. Yoo. LUSS!
-
Mondegreen, James Mondegreen: "and in this ever-changing world in which we live in."
What does it matter to ya?
-
Live and Let Die--another shoo-in, as is the U2 Bond theme. I pinged Dave and put in a good word for the Casino Royale theme and Carly Simon theme from The Spy Who Loved Me--he said both were in.
-
VHM Duran x 2.
-
BOS2 Nancy S.!!! Later sampled by Robbie Williams for "Millenium".
-
If I were a betting man, I'd wager that Little Steven does a Bond show Sunday nite -- he LURVES him some Nancy Sinatra!
BOS3 Carly. Best incorporation of a hard-to-incorporate title into a lyric:
"Like heaven above me
The Spy who Loved Me..."
-
"10@10... KFOG's 10@10" -- I just got that. Cute, Dave.
-
Is this Audioslave? Is this the new Casino Royale song?
-
I see Dave has edited one of his bumpers so it says "10 at 10...KFOG's 10 at 10."
Nice touch.
But WTF is this one? It sounds sort of like Fastball meets Pearl Jam...with strings.
ETA: Ah, I see Davefish has ID'd this as Audioslave. Yep, that would be it.
-
Is this Audioslave? Is this the new Casino Royale song?
the odds will betray you...
-

Followed by Casino Royale #1, the Alpert tune.

JINX... Bond JINX...
Yay! BOS4 the orig "Casino Royale"!
-
BOS: Casino Royal
In my opinion, this song was the best thing about the original movie...
-
OMFG!!! Sheena!!! BOS5 and Gaz is gonna be PISSED that he missed this.
This is now -- officially -- the gayest set of Bond themes ever put together. LOL!
Gotta tape this one tonite...

How so, Mike?
By the way, my cousin had a dog named Sheena.
ETA: "The biggest Bond of all -- Thunderball!" Now THAT sounds gay. But what do I know?

We have a neighbor with a dog named Shayna... :-)
-
HOLY F---ING SHIT!!! "Living Daylights"!!!
-
HOLY F---ING SHIT!!! "Living Daylights"!!!
Is this The Fixx?
-
So what one is this? It sounds too recent to be Thunderball, despite the ad that led into it.
ETA: I should just wait for Mike to ID these things. Once again, he pegged the Living Daylights.
-

Shirley Bassey, Nancy Sinatra, AND Sheena Easton? Are you kidding?
-

It's A-Ha -- who were still pretty big (in Europe, anyway) in '87.

I cannot remember a more OMGWTFLOL set! I hope Mark & Ali were listening and pray that Gaz gets to hear the replay.

I guess I'm not up on my gay icons. I'm hip to Nancy Sinatra, but not the other two. Not hard to imagine, though.
-
and note that Dave played 7 of Gaz's picks!
1. Goldfinger
2. For Your Eyes Only
3. Thunderball
4. The Look of Love
5. A View to a Kill
6. Live and Let Die
7. The Living Daylights
8. You Only Live Twice
9. Nobody Does It Better
10. Goldeneye
anyone else besides me seeing the movie this weekend?
-
well, I was hoping for another Bond theme as a bonus, but Annalisa in her infinite wisdom (?) has decided to play "Shaft".
Whatever...

-
Oh, and BOS to Goldfinger, of course. Best movie, best song.
Plus, they play golf -- "Shtrict rules of golf, Goldfinguhr?"
-
Live and Let Die--another shoo-in, as is the U2 Bond theme.
OK, a little help here: did U2 do a Bond theme, or am I confusing that with the one they did for one of the Batman films?

They contributed the lyrics for "Goldeneye", which Tina Turner sang. Not a big hit in the US.

There's this little descending figure in the You Only Live Twice song that reminds me of something else. Similiar to Sunny Side of Heaven from Fleetwood Mac's Bare Trees album.
-
BOS2 Nancy S.!!! Later sampled by Robbie Williams for "Millenium".
And you have to admit, that was a clever sample on Yerrobbie's part.
This really was almost a Pride set, wunnit? Loving the replay.
-

HAHAHA! It IS funny that you, me & Dave have such similar taste in Bond themes. Hope you're diggin Mr Alpert. I LOOOOVE this one. Must find a good Alpert anthol.
-
OMFG!!! Sheena!!! BOS5 and Gaz is gonna be PISSED that he missed this.
I can't hear this without thinking I'm in a karaoke bar. A very gay karaoke bar.
Which leads me to repeat: Any takers for Dec. 18-28?

Oh my yes. I never told y'alls, but 3 years ago, I went with a group of friends (Freaks and Freak Associates) on a Memorial Day weekend excursion to Bar Harbor, Maine, where my friend Alli (married to a Freak) has family. We were staying in a family home, and I couldn't resist the urge to dig through the vinyl. Among the treasures: a few Herb Alpert albums, including Whipped Cream and Other Delights (a/k/a That Cover) and a GH comp. I had the drunken genius idea to play "Spanish Flea" at least 20 times that weekend, as laugh track, as conversation starter, as phone answerer, whatever. That weekend has multiplied my love of the mighty mighty Alpert.
-
As I may have mentioned before, I grew up in a very MOR household (Mom loved Sinatra & Robert Goulet). I didn't "discover" Top 40 radio until the fall of '67, when Lulu and the Box Tops had the top 2 singles. During the Summer of Love, I was oblivious to rock, pretty much. We listened to WHN, the big middle-of-the-road station, and both "Casino Royale" and "You Only Live Twice" were much bigger hits on the MOR charts than on the Pop list. So they have a special place in my heart.

I'm so totally there, dude. (if only we could get the princess to fly over for a few days)

I never realized this, and I'm suddenly curious: No Revolver? No Pet Sounds? No Sgt. Pepper? I came at pop from an unavoidably retrograde angle (born in '72, pop savvy at '76) so I feel like a child at the knee when I ask, "What was life like before rock?"

Yeah, it's really weird. I'm sure I saw the Beatles on Sullivan, since we ALWAYS watched Ed on Sun nite, but I don't really recall it vividly. What I DO remember is everybody talking about them the next day and our teacher (Catholic school, tho' she wasn't a nun) coming in and saying we were FORBIDDEN to talk about "those sick sick people". Anyone heard speaking of the Beatles would be punished. I can't really explain why, even though I saw rock acts on Sullivan and other shows, I never thought to seek them out on the radio.
In the fall of '67 we were allowed to bring radios to school to listen to the World Series (they played day games back then) and while waiting for the game to start, Sister Mary Whats-her-name let us listen to Top 40 WABC. And I heard "To Sir With Love" and "The Letter" for the first time and suddenly I was hooked. A whole new world was opened up to me.

What a great story. Were you rooting for the Cards or the Bosox then? If I go to sleep right now I might be awake in time for the beginning of the replay, probably a good idea.

I'll be wherever you guys are, unless I happen to be in China or something.

Okay, perfect timing. The house is empty & the Bond set is coming up.

That was a mighty fun set! Wish I'd been there to ID the Chris Cornell for you, I heard him talking about it on LIVE 105 not long ago, as well as the then-upcoming elections. He is a very sharp & well-spoken guy.

hmmm....i haven't heard the chris cornell!!!!

And to end this thread, I saw Casino Royale tonite, and it's very entertaining (if a bit long), with none of the smarmy juvenilia the series became known for. Mr Craig is quite good.
BTW, anyone else notice Dave pronounce CR as "casino ree-al"? (like Camino Real -- the man's just got Latinos on the brain!)
