Title: 14 Nov 2008: Bond... James Bond
Post by: RGMike on November 14, 2008, 08:52:41 AM
Morey... Dave Morey taking suggestions. How much you wanna bet we get the same set we got 2 years ago, except the new Jack White/Alicia Keys QOS theme will replace Chris Cornell's Casino Royale song?

(http://www.publishersweekly.com/articles/blog/880000288/20080618/daniel_craig_shirtless_2.jpg)

Here's the set we got in Nov 2006:

1.   John Barry Orchestra - James Bond Theme     
2.   Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger (BEST OF SET!!)     
3.   Wings - Live and Let Die     
4.   Duran Duran - View To A Kill     
5.   Nancy Sinatra - You Only Live Twice     
6.   Carly Simon - Nobody Does It Better     
7.   Chris Cornell - You Know My Name     
8.   Herb Alpert - Casino Royale     
9.   Sheena Easton - For Your Eyes Only     
10.   A-Ha - The Living Daylights

My wager is that we keep the Chris Cornell song & we get one random subsititution, well actually two since I agree we're likely to get the latest addition as well.

I still have that set on cassette; it's one of my favorite Morey theme sets of all time (and also the gayest Bond-theme colection imaginable). And I'll restate my opinion that the White/Keys QOS theme is an unholy mess.  The Cornell theme wasn't bad but it hasn't been heard anywhere in the 2 years since.

I only got around to watching Casino Royale last month, so the song is still fresh in my mind.

Can anyone come up with any Bond themes of the past that didn't make it in the set above? I'm sure there are a few.  So far we haven't heard anything that didn't appear before. (Actually I just thought of one--didn't U2 do a Bond theme?)

Ms Bassey's "Diamonds are Forever", which I heard on WLNG yesterday (but I'm sure "Goldfinger" gets the nod from Dave --and here it is!  BOS2).

U2? -- I Don't think so. But Alice Cooper's "Man With the Golden Gun", which WASN't from the movie, is pretty swell.

At the time, I was at ABC, listening to Capital Radio (via satellite) on a daily basis, and they played the hell out of it (no wonder it went to #1 in England). So it's a somewhat fond memory.

BOS5 Carly "makes me feel sad for the rest" -- a college radio buddy of mine thought that line was hilarious.

Love the Live and Let Die theme, but I have an unpleasant memory attached to it as well. When McCartney toured in '90, I had front-row seats at Memorial Stadium. And when they did this song, every time they reached the crescendo, they'd set off huge flashpots that I'm sure looked great from the back of the stadium. Well, they were about 15 feet in front of me. And they set them off like three times. So I was temporarily deafened, and I had one big spot burned into my vision for the next two or three songs.

Other than that it wasn't too bad.  :o

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. :)

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  ::)

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:
