Speaker 1: This is Spencer Young and West Monroe, Louisiana. I like
long hair, Panama, Jack pac Man, the Beastie Boys, Transam,
head to head football, calculator watches, flannel shirts, Doc Martin,
and everything else eighties and nineties. Oh, and I absolutely
love this yearly you can't be serious podcasts.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. I'm Deaf Dave and if I'm guest
hosting this show, then you know it must be time
for another James Bond Fantasy Draft. This is the second
installment of what we hope is an ongoing series. The
first time we did this was about a year and
a half where we met and did a fantasy draft
on James Bond girls. Today we are back to do
a fantasy draft on James Bond theme songs. And to
help me with this mission, I've assembled a team of
the world's best double agents, all of whom are currently
doing undercover spy missions where they have infiltrated the podcasting world.
But since that world is not enough, I've brought them
back out of the field and we are going to
discuss the best theme songs from the James Bond movies.
I want to get right to the introductions, so we
can dive right into this. First up, Amber Galore hashtag
Team Amber, the Voice of Reason, Amber Lewis.
Speaker 3: Hello, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2: Tell us a little bit about you and the podcast
you're on and what they're about.
Speaker 4: This is my first time joining you guys, so I'm excited.
Speaker 3: I'm a little nervous.
Speaker 4: My home base is Docking Bay seventy seven with Dayton Johnson,
where we talk all things pop culture, movies, music and books,
and you'll hear me argue with Dayton on the regular
and sometimes my bestie Robert and I agree and sometimes
we try to kill each other. Then I also am
part of the team over at a film buy with
our own Jeff Johnson.
Speaker 2: Very good. So next up, it's Hey, it's that podcaster.
We have Bill Bant from the All Eighties podcast and
I'm excited to have him on today because I'm a
big fan of that show. Take it away, Bill Bann.
Speaker 5: Yes, Bill Ben co hosts of the All Eighties Movies podcasts,
the podcast where we talk about the plops, the blockbusters
and everything in between from the greatest decade of movies
in the nineteen eighties. So weekly episode. So it's me
my co host Jason Massek, who went to film school
together and you went forty years later, well fortyears, thirty
years later, we started doing this podcast about the movies
that made us filmmakers excellent.
Speaker 2: Back with us once again representing the thirty something Movie Podcast,
we have Pat Kentagello, Pat, what's up?
Speaker 6: Not much? Guys, So great to be here. I'm a
co host of the thirty something Movie Podcast. Each week
we look at a new movie from thirty years ago.
So currently we're working through nineteen ninety four. It's one
movie each week, thirty years in the making. We just
finished up with a whole bunch of Jim Carrey movies,
The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, and of course Ace Ventura
that all came out in ninety four, and we're currently
in recording for October looking at a bunch of the
horror classics they came out at nightteen. I love James Bond,
and I mean, this is just man a dream come
true to come back after a long day of work
and just be able to talk about the James Bond
themes and all the shared love that we have for
the franchise. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Excellent, and we have with us the Man behind the
a film by podcast agent Jeff Johnson, Jeff, what's going on?
Speaker 7: Hello, fellow Double O's Yeah You said It? A film
by podcast, it's a great place to hear about Hollywood's
directors with a focus on their underrated movies. We also
have several fun limited series as well as our ongoing
Star Trek theme series Phasers, Set the Stun, and we
do the occasional reviews of what's new at the.
Speaker 2: Box office excellent and rounding it out, we have from
the Shirley You Can't Be Serious Podcast, Jason Colvin, Jason,
tell us about your show.
Speaker 8: Thanks, Dave, James D. Graves and I on the Shirley
You Can't Be Serious Podcast, we call ourselves the podcast
for the MTV generation. What we do is we compare
movie to movie, album to album, TV show to TV show,
just some favorites from the eighties and nineties and have
a lot of fun doing that. I am so excited
to do James Bond Themes with all of you. All
all right, guys, I want to give a quick shout
out to our buddy Van Allen Plexico who could not
make it tonight. We'll see him down the road. He
has a great James Bond podcast. If you never listen
to it, it's called on Her Majesty's Secret Podcast. You
definitely want to check that out.
Speaker 9: Van.
Speaker 8: We'll see you next time.
Speaker 2: Very good. All right, Well, just if I can introduce
myself real quick. My name is def Dave. My parents
know me as David Wright. I have just completed my
own podcast. I don't do this full time, but my
son and I just had about a seven month run
earlier this year where we in produced a show called
Apples and Oranges where we step through the decade of
the sixties and compare the albums of the Beatles and
the Beach Boys against each other in a series of
one v one matchups in a format that we totally
stole from that surely you can't be serious podcasts. And
we had a lot of fun doing that, and I
got some interesting takes on that and just explore the
discocked fees of both bands. Had a lot of fun,
so you can check that out if you would like to.
I'm also probably the least knowledgeable and most casual Bond
fan on this panel, so I've been given the honor
of being the moderator. That's kind of like all being
the designated driver when you're the guy who doesn't drink.
But that's okay. I am happy to be here. I'm
excited to have all you with me, and I think
we're ready to get started.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do a fantasy draft where I've got the
order picked out here, and we'll go one through five.
Then we're gonna turn that around and have that fifth
person do a second take in a row and go
back down that way, so kind of in a snake format,
and we will do four rounds, so we'll end up
with each person here having four songs on their list.
At the end of that, I will pick what I
think is my favorite list out of the bunch, who
I think the winner is. But then we're also wanting
to hear from everybody out there if they agree with
me or if they've got a different take on who
actually ended up winning this draft. And after all of that,
we have something very special, kind of a bonus segment
at the end of all this that I want you
to stick around for because it is pretty dang cool.
But I'm not gonna say any more about it. You're
just gonna have to stick around and listen. All ready,
I think we're ready to jump right into this. Everybody
ready to go. So first up, Amber, take it away
for us. You are on the clock. The first pick
in the James Bond theme song Fantasy Draft.
Speaker 4: Okay, so I know that I've never done a fantasy
draft or anything, but I know you're supposed to strategize.
Speaker 7: But for the.
Speaker 4: First one, I have to jump in with my personal favorite,
which is GoldenEye, Golden Nine.
Speaker 11: Bound is Weakness, Golden KNIGHTE.
Speaker 12: You Do what I Please, Golden KNIGHTE Time plus Sweetness.
Speaker 13: But a Bitter Will Bring You to is.
Speaker 4: Written by Bono and the Edge from You two and
recorded by Tina Turner.
Speaker 3: It was a great reboot to start Pierce Brosnan as
Bond and you just.
Speaker 4: Can't get any sexier than Tina Turner. So that one
is my absolute favorite theme.
Speaker 3: So that had to be my first pick.
Speaker 2: Love it maybe my favorite movie of the series.
Speaker 9: Definitely my favorite movie of the Pierce Bronson films.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, not even close.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 8: Gosh. By the way, I found this interesting, they originally
asked Depeche Mode for a song for GoldenEye.
Speaker 7: Really it would have been interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we definitely have been completely different.
Speaker 8: Most people don't know that you two wrote that song.
I think that's awesome.
Speaker 4: Yes, it always hurts my heart a little bit because
I would love to have a U two James Bond theme,
but we kind of got one anyway. So and I
guess they ended up using Tina Turner because Bono and
the Edge did like a demo and it sucked. It's
like terrible, So the producers were like, you know what,
let's have Tina take a swipe at it.
Speaker 2: All right, very good? So next up we have Bill Bant.
Speaker 5: Okay, so I'm going with a song that basically started
the formula for Bond. Our Gadgets, our cars are women.
When you have a movie like that, you gotta have
a kick ass song. So I'm going with Goldfinger from
Shirley Bassy.
Speaker 14: Gold Fingers the name, and this was John Barry, who
composed most of the music for the Bond series up
until The Living Daylights.
Speaker 5: He wrote the song and a little help from Anthony
Newley and Leslie Riscue and the theme was actually first
sung by Newley as a demo. You can hear that
one on the thirtieth anniversary Best of Bond release, so
you can hear that one. But yeah, Vassie was a
call from Kubby Brockley and Harry Saltzman and she knocked
out the park and we're going to hear her name
again later in this draft. So the one that that
solidifies the Bond films and music is Goldfinger Shirley Bassie.
Speaker 7: Fun fact about Miss Bassie, she famously had to remove
her brawl in order to hit and carry that final
note when she was in the recording studio.
Speaker 8: That's awesome, a little a little constricted the express o
Kady Okay, Hey, I've got a cool tidbit on Goldfinger.
I found this fascinating. John Barry was good friends of
Michael Kine Michael Caine from Jos of the Revenge right, Yes, yes, yes,
And John Barry played Michael Caine Goldfinger and Michael Kaine said,
what are you doing man? That's that's Moon River. It's
the same song as Moon River, And so he came
right behind it and added the big brassy horns to
distinguish a Goldfinger from Moon River. And that's why you
get those that huge brassy section there.
Speaker 2: Wow you now that you say that, it's very obvious.
I never think that this was a song that for
me set the stand or set the expectation for me
of what James Bond things songs are supposed to sound like.
All right, third in line, we have Pat, You're on
the clock? What you got Bud?
Speaker 6: All right? Well, first of all, I'm just gonna say
to everything Amber is said to introduce her tune, I'm
gonna say the same thing. I don't do a lot
of fantasy drafts and all that, and I know it's like,
you know, you're not supposed to just draft the players
from your favorite team and all this kind of thing,
But I'm gonna throw all that out the window because
I think like bad things would happen. Because not only
is this movie my favorite Bond movie of all time,
it's quite possibly my favorite movie of all time. And
ad is Skyfall, this.
Speaker 13: Guy together, this guy.
Speaker 6: I love this movie. And I've got to be honest
with you. Adele absolutely knocks it out of the park
with this song. It's got little hints of the Bond
themes in there as it plays. It Really for having
a solo vocalist, it goes big, and that's what I
love about a lot of the Bond themes is when
it musically represents that whole idea of going to all
these exotic locations around the world. And she not only
sings with this real relaxed kind of swing style, but
it's also it's pretty soulful, right, It's got a little
funk up in there, it's relaxed, it's bluesy, it's melancholy,
and it just sets the stage for what I think
is an incredible movie. And I mean, she just has
an amazing voice, what a talent.
Speaker 5: I went with the award winner, I mean an Academy
Award for Best Original Song, Critics Choice for Best Song,
Golden Global Ward for Best Original Song, and a Grammy,
So you're knocked out the park with the awards on
that one.
Speaker 4: Well, and for my money, that movie is so good.
That's where the show stopped. Craig shouldn't have made it anymore.
Speaker 7: Might disagree with that, Amber, but I'll tell you one thing.
You got to give thanks to the president of Music
for Sonny Pictures, because that's who specifically chose Adele for
this film, and she had said that Adele's voice has
a soulful, haunting, evocative quality that brings the classic Shirley
Bassy feel of old Bond films back.
Speaker 8: Rumor has it that when Daniel Craig heard this for
the first time, he cried.
Speaker 2: Okay, next up on the clock, we have Jeff Johnson. Jeff,
what are you taking?
Speaker 15: Hey?
Speaker 7: There's been some some very soulful selections already made, but
I think it's time to ratchet things up a little bit.
I'm gonna go with the only Bond song to reach
number one on the US Billboard Hot one hundred. Talking
about the boys, Duran Duran with a View to a Kill?
Me seeing you with.
Speaker 13: The Views to a Kill?
Speaker 2: These no arguments.
Speaker 8: John Taylor of Deran Duran went up to Cobby Broccley
at a party, was smashed drunk and said, when are
you gonna get somebody good do one of your Bond themes?
And Kebby Brockley is like, hey man, you want to
do it? He's like yes, And that's how you get
Duran Duran doing of You Do a Kill?
Speaker 2: Awesome.
Speaker 7: I read, I read, actually, Jason, I read that the
the collaboration between them and John Barry went very smooth,
like they got along famously. He handled the music, they
handled the lyrics and it was like a match made
in happened very good.
Speaker 2: I have a question, does this does if you Do
Kill represent the biggest gap between the quality of the
song and the quality.
Speaker 15: Of the movie.
Speaker 8: Yes, I think so.
Speaker 4: I think we could get into it, but it definitely
makes a strong argument.
Speaker 9: It's a contender. I agree it's a contender.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 7: I'll play the fifth because this was actually my first
theatrical bond experience, so I know the nostalgia factor is
weighing heavily on me, so I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 2: Jeff, I'm in the same boat with you. I think
I've shared with hell before. Jame's Bond was something that
my dad and now bonded over. This was the first
one he took me to. He probably would have taken
me to a movie, you know, one film earlier. I
think he was just uncomfortable with the title. He probably couldn't,
you know, get my mom to agree to let him
take me to that one. So I had to wait
for a view to Kill. But yeah, I don't hate
this as much as most people do because it was
my first one.
Speaker 8: You who kills like your sixth grade girlfriend? She's not
all that pretty, but she's got a special place in
her in your heart.
Speaker 6: Well, and I think too. It's like it's one of
these things when you have a franchise that stretches that long,
and it's different sensibilities and different you know, directions they
go in. I tend to over use this quote, but
it's kind of like more Bond, more better. If you
really want to see the original to Sean Connery, nothing
else will do. If you really want to see the latest,
you know, the grittier kind of thay. Okay, well then
did Daniel Craig. But there's a place for those Roger
Moore films. You just can't you know, don't play a
game of checkers expecting to get chests, you know, that
kind of thing. And they're really good at what they do.
And I mean so I hear what you guys are saying,
and I think that's I mean, they're entertaining, and when
it comes down to it, for me, you know, what
more can you ask for a movie? So I definitely
think they've got their place.
Speaker 7: I can't understand all the hate for a film where
Tanya Roberts is running around the whole hour and.
Speaker 6: A half, I mean, right, plus r there it is.
Speaker 5: Ye see them perform this live and they open it
up with if you do would kill that fatal kiss?
If this is the instrumental and it just kind of
lows it and then it just that and everyone just
went freaking nuts.
Speaker 8: That's awesome.
Speaker 9: It was awesome.
Speaker 2: All right. Well, here we go to wrap up round
number one. Bringing up the rear, we have Jason Colvin. Jason,
what do you got for us?
Speaker 8: Guys? I can't believe my number one overall pick fell
to me at number five. I am so excited about this,
my number one overall pick without a doubt. Paul McCartney
Live in Lead Die.
Speaker 13: What if the.
Speaker 16: Seven changing world in which we living makes sup?
Speaker 15: Lie?
Speaker 2: You just want this? You just won the secret prize.
That is the correct answer.
Speaker 8: I don't know if you guys have heard the story,
you know, Paul McCartney is asked to write a song
for the movie Buys. The book sits down one Saturday,
reads the whole thing, whips out the song, plays it
for Harry Saltzman. They're like, wow, this is an amazing song.
And Harry Saltzman's like, yeah, the song's awesome. Who are
we gonna get to sing it? And the producers are like,
you see, this is Paul McCartney, and I.
Speaker 3: Think an actual Beatle, right.
Speaker 8: He's like, yeah, but maybe like Aretha Franklin might sing
it for us. They're like, we have Paul McCartney. And
he finally had to say, look, if you don't tell
Paul McCartney to sing this song way and getting this
song and to me it's one of the greatest Bond
songs of all time.
Speaker 2: So is my favorite Paul McCartney you know, post Beatles
Paul McCartney song. And there's nothing else in his solo
career that comes close to this in my mind.
Speaker 3: Well, and I kind of like Bill's story seeing him
do it live at the age of eighty. He still
rocks it. It knocks your socks.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 7: Well, look, this one was way down on my list, Jason,
and in an effort not to win any points with
our moderator, I'm gonna give you up. My hot take
is that the version Guns of Roses does on their
usual Illusion album is superior to the Wings version. I'm
there with it.
Speaker 8: Sorry, no sorry, I'm not sorry. I like the under
Rose version two as well. So, by the way, quick
fun fact on Living Let Die. This spent three weeks
at number two on the Hot one hundred and had
three different number ones that kept it from the number
one spot. All three number ones are songs I have
never heard of. Now, granted I was an infant when
this happened, but the morning after touched me in the
morning and Brother.
Speaker 2: Louis, Yeah, Brother Louis, yeah, you know that one.
Speaker 6: I do.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, if you heard it, you recognize that one.
But I don't know about the others.
Speaker 7: Still Living, Let Die, Come liv and Let Die is.
Speaker 2: Better than all I'm sure it's better, Brother Louis, I'm
sure it's better than those others.
Speaker 7: Okay, cool, all right.
Speaker 2: So, because of our format, Jason, you're going to actually
get two picks in a row. So why don't you
kick off round number two for us? What do you got?
Speaker 8: Okay? In my Heart of Hearts, I kind of believe
this is the best Bond song of all, just because
I love the creativity, the way they weave the title
into the verses of this song. It's a tough title.
It's one of the few songs that does not share
the title of the movie. I'm going with Carly Simon's
nobody does it better.
Speaker 13: He as good ass you, Babby. I wasn't looking that
somehow you found me. I found your head from your
having above me.
Speaker 12: Spine, love me, keep the secret.
Speaker 7: Say man. I absolutely love that soft piano teakling Marvin
Hamlish is doing while she's singing It's fantastic.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, and you gotta love a song that just leans
in and says this guy is fantastic in bed and
I'm gonna tell you all about it.
Speaker 6: Thank you heart of his hashtag panties on part of
this is such a great idea to make sure we
have a female PERSPECTI on the podcast tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that she was not on the Bond
Girls Fantasy draft. Okay, So my wife is a huge
Carly Timon fan. This is easily her favorite song out
of the bunch, and she doesn't even know it as
a James Bond theme. So I've heard this song many
times in the last twenty years, and I agree it's awesome.
I have a top four I don't know if I
have any picks beyond that, but this one makes that
top four cut for me. All Right. That's an excellent pick.
I can't argue with that, So to continue with round two, Jeff,
you're back on the clock. What do you got for us?
Speaker 7: I am excited that I'm in round two and my
number three overall pick is on the board. I'm gonna
take for your eyes only by Sonny Crockett's girlfriend, Sheena east.
Speaker 3: You come see so much in me, so much in me?
Speaker 15: That's you.
Speaker 7: Now you got to remember something Before Easton, Blondie was
asked to do the theme, but it was rejected in
favor of Easton's and if you want to hear that one,
Blondie's version was released on their nineteen eight two album
called The Hunter. Actually a pretty good song now, granted
I'm going I'm definitely going for Sheena Easton on On
between the two, but Blondie is still doing a good
job there.
Speaker 2: This is my fourth out of my top four, my
top four of all being pig now when this one
makes the cut too.
Speaker 8: By the way, this song was written by Bill Kunti,
the guy who wrote the rocky theme really nice, and
he wanted Barbara Streiasan or Donna Summer to sing the song.
Speaker 7: He was wrong. No, There's just there's something about Sheena
Easton's voice on this one. There's a longing. I mean,
you just you fall in love with her when you're
when you're listening to it, and that just that that wishing.
I don't know if we're underwater, if we're in the clouds.
How it opens with that heartbeat. I'm surprised I didn't
put it higher on my list, but it was. It
was my my number three overall pick, so I'm happy
to get it on my list. Love it.
Speaker 9: She's the first artist appear in the opening credits.
Speaker 7: Also, Bill Bant is correct. Yeah, they the producers actually
they actually liked her look. But Bill, according to she Easton,
she did not enjoy filming that because they actually tied
her to a chair so that she would not move
when they had to do the slow pan close up
of her lips. She said it was one of the
most unglamorous shoots she's ever been a part of.
Speaker 9: Better than being tied up and dragged through the quarrel
in that one.
Speaker 2: True When you say tied to a chair in a
Jane's Bond conversation, I'm thinking of Casino Roy.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: All right, so moving on from that, Hey, you're on
the clock. What you got for us?
Speaker 15: Okay?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm pretty thrilled here because this was my number
two overall pick. Grew up loving this movie. I believe
this was one of my dad's favorite Bond soundtracks, and
that is from Thunderball.
Speaker 13: You always run will of those walls, Yes, love them.
Speaker 6: Just And I have to say that some of the
comments earlier for the earlier drafts about Goldfinger, I'm going
to echo a lot of those comments to me. What's
captured with the John Barry music, to me, captures what
I think of with James Bond against the going big
and you get these big, open, you know, low brass
chords as do not. I have a hoarse voice, I
shouldn't be singing, but she's these big, sweeping lines and
as a trumpet player, the absolutely screaming brass. I mean,
it is incredible to listen to, even if you're not
about to watch an amazing movie. It just makes your
hair stand up, the goosebump stand up. And I think
all of those elements are in Thunderball. It's Tom Jones,
and I love the way it's just that big presence,
upfront singing style. A big fan of jazz music, so
when you hear elements of jazz music being worked in there.
It just knocks it out of the park. That's my pick.
Speaker 7: I love it all, Pat, This would have been my
next pick on my list. But I'm curious what you
think of the original version of the theme for Thunderball.
Have you ever heard that?
Speaker 13: You know what?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm actually making a note of what I need
to go listen to after the podcast. Tell me about it.
What are your thoughts? What should I prepare for so.
Speaker 7: I see Bill not his head knows where he knows
where I'm going. Originally the theme was titled mister Kiss Kiss,
Bang Bang, and it was sung by Shirley Basey and
it's actually a really good track, I'll be fair. It's
not as good as Tom Jones Thunderball though, the only
reason we don't have it in a Bond movie today
is because the word thunderball was not in the song,
so they can it really wow.
Speaker 5: And then they were supposed to put it during the
end credits, and Shirley sued because Deon Warwick actually recorded
it also and they were gonna use her version.
Speaker 9: YEP, was like, no, thanks, happened.
Speaker 6: Well, And now I wonder if I listened to it
and go, oh, that song I didn't know that was
but I'm gonna I'm gonna check that out, Thank you
very much.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll moving right along, Bill Bant. You're on
the clock from round two.
Speaker 5: Man, there's so many I have left that I thought
would be picked by no So I'm not sure where
to go, but I have to go with one from
A Jay's Bond. He only got to portray Bond once
and that's George Lassanbie And we're talking about your magic
Secret Service.
Speaker 9: But the song sung by Louis Armstrong all the time
in the world.
Speaker 17: We have all.
Speaker 16: The dime.
Speaker 15: In Dime night to one fold, Oh the Brish is
thing love.
Speaker 5: We have all present re introduced in the final Jeans
Bond No Time to Die basically shadow what was going
to happen end of that movie, unfortunately, but the way
it's used in Nika Service just works great. Interesting fact
because Louis Armstrong there is trumpet playing in that song,
and you would assume that it was him, but unfortunately,
because of his agent illness, he was not able to
play on that track, and it's really unknown who did
do the trumpet playing.
Speaker 9: There's ideas out there, but they're not one hundred percent.
Speaker 8: I just love that song. This was his last recording session, right,
I believe it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. So to round out roil number two,
we have Amber Lewis Amber What you Got for Us?
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I don't know how you guys do
these drafts. Like my list is a bloodbath the stress.
So my number two is another reboot of the franchise.
The number of times I have listened to the song,
I absolutely love it. I love any Bond song that
goes really hard from Casino Royale.
Speaker 13: You Know my Name.
Speaker 4: Written and performed by Chris Cornell from Soundgarden, and it
is just the perfect gritty tongue in cheek. I love
the double nande of you Know my Name. The lyrics
are great and it just bangs. That's my number two.
Speaker 7: These are some of the best lyrics you're gonna hear
for a Bond theme because the incredible thing here, and
this is coming from Chris Cornonell. This song is a
conversation between m and Bond. You know, she's asking him
if he's ready to be a double oh, but she's
being very transparent about his longevity, saying, you're just next
in line arm yourself because no one else will save you,
the odds will betray you, and I will replace you.
Are you willing to die? And then you've got Daniel
Craig's brash bond replying in the chorus, the coldest blood
runs through my veins.
Speaker 6: You know my name.
Speaker 7: This one was high on my list and I was
ready to snagg it. But that's off too.
Speaker 3: I love it so much because Dan.
Speaker 4: I loved Daniel Craig from Layer Cake, and he took
so much garbage from the press, and nobody had seen
any footage of the movie, and they were teasing him
for the blonde bond, you know, saying he couldn't do
it and all this stuff.
Speaker 3: And like that movie started and the song came on.
Speaker 9: And I was like, oh my god, I'm so in
the same as you.
Speaker 5: I just happen to see Layer Cake when they made
the announcement and everyone was poopoo in it.
Speaker 9: I'm like, go see Layer Cake.
Speaker 3: You'll know why.
Speaker 6: The haters definitely got it wrong. I remember that when
everyone was upset because he was had blue eyes and
all that kind of stuff, and it was like, you
guys missed the boat on that one. This this thing
is le and like you said, you realize it within
the first minute of the movie. What You're in for
very good?
Speaker 2: All right, Well that concludes round two, so let's pick
it right back up to begin round three. Amber you
get to go again.
Speaker 7: Oh, welcome to the snake format.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm kind of excited because, like now I get
to like be ensured that one of my good ones
gets picked.
Speaker 3: All right, So this one for me along with Goldfinger.
Speaker 4: When you say Bond theme, like, those are the two
songs I immediately think of the movie's kind of meh,
but I love You Only Live Twice by Nancy Sinatra Twice,
like you're kind of floating through the clouds. You're in
like this kind of dream and the orchestra and her voice.
Speaker 3: I just love it.
Speaker 4: And the movie is absolutely bonker, so like I'm fine
with watching it anyway, but that opening, like with him
getting killed and you're like, what, it's the cold open,
how can he die? And then the song kicks in
like my goodness? So that is that is my next choice.
Speaker 8: That's my number four overall pick I love that song.
The orchestra is so beautiful and it's it has that
sort of Japanese feel, you know, just a little hints. Yeah,
and you're right. The the open of that movie, when
I saw it for the first time, I was like,
Bond gets killed?
Speaker 6: What right?
Speaker 3: There was a funeral, Like I saw the body.
Speaker 7: There was blood in the bed.
Speaker 8: So I'm a big fan of you only live twice.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 9: That's what it's all about, of Chris crossing out.
Speaker 3: I've been doing this whole time. It's the stress.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, Bill Bett, you're on the clock. What
do you have left after that?
Speaker 9: Let's see?
Speaker 5: I got it Dount, So I don't. I don't want
to go Shirley Bassie again. So I'm gonna go with
my next one. I gotta go with No Time to Die?
Speaker 17: Who New Wash twice higher the Kay, There's just no
time to time?
Speaker 8: Good one.
Speaker 5: And Phillie Alish was our youngest Bond singer Ripe old
age of eighteen. Song was released almost a year before
the movie came out because of COVID. But you did
win a Oscar for bet song.
Speaker 7: I think this was the third one to win the Oscar, right,
third Bond theme after after sky On that that terrible one.
I won't name because maybe someone's gonna draft it. I
don't want to be a I don't want to.
Speaker 2: Geez.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I gotta be honest. I was surprised that No
Time to Die was still on the board this late
in the game, because the last time we all got together,
Pat had drafted everyone up into like the person doing
craft services for on his list. His list was fantastic,
it was there were no bad choices, Pat. But I
was like, he's definitely gonna go Time to Die.
Speaker 6: Well, I think I stole Michelle Yo from someone and
I like, still feel bad?
Speaker 15: Was that you, ye man?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, good point to mention. Like, I think Amber and
Pat are maybe the kindest people I've ever been in
a draft with. They're just I'm so sorry, like twenty
years of fantasy football. I'm like, go afterself.
Speaker 2: So so Pat is a very polite, very good But Pat,
while I'm talking to you, I guess what You're on
the clock.
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna go with the next one again. It's
it's going to go back to the Sean Connery era,
and I'm going with From Russia with Love.
Speaker 13: From Russia.
Speaker 9: With Love, I've love to You.
Speaker 6: I love the sweep of the song. I love it's
got a little bit of romance wrapped up into it.
It's got a little bit of urgency wrapped into it,
but it's just it's fun. It represents the movie so well,
and again I've got a special place in my heart
for that, the very early version of Bond. So I
am going with from Russia.
Speaker 8: With Love, Love It Love the old school there, the
second James Bond movie. Talking earlier about how picking these
songs you almost have to pick an era. So the
sixties era is so different from the nineties era. But
it's fun to kind of talk through these and break
them down.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 6: And it's fun because not only is the music different
and the look of the movie and the special effects,
but even kind of we're saying, you know, Sean Connery's
Bond is different than Roger Moore's Bond is different than
Timothy Dalton's. And I'll tell you the documentary that came out,
and I'm totally blanking on the name, but it was
on Amazon Prime. But they had a documentary come back
years some years back. I think it's called for All
or for Nothing or as you know, everything or nothing,
Everything or nothing, thank you, Okay, sorry about that. But
they interview all of the actors that played Bond and
I want to It was so insightful when they were
interviewing these guys and how they perceived the character and
how they brought something different. And Roger Moore, I thought
was one of the most intriguing characters because he knew
exactly what he was trying to play and he just
described it and just broke it down how each was different.
So I don't want to get If you haven't seen it,
it's it's worth a watch. It's especially for those actors
just describing the different infections and time periods of Bond.
Speaker 2: So we're moving right along, continue with Brown. Three. We
have Jeff Johnson back on the clock. What do you got, Jeff?
Speaker 7: You know the great thing about a draft, you gotta
go with the strategy, and sometimes you're quick to go
that movie is not that good. I'm not picking that song.
But sometimes when you double back, you listen to the lyrics,
you listen to the performance, it shoots it right up
the list.
Speaker 9: Here.
Speaker 7: My next pick is gonna be one I did not
ever expect to have on my list until I re listened,
but it was nominated for Best Song at the Grammys
and the Golden Globes. Probably would have won if that
James Cameron Boat movie hadn't come out because of My
Heart Will Go On beat It. But I'm talking about
Tomorrow Never Dies by Sheryl Crowe.
Speaker 3: I just wish anybody else had sung it.
Speaker 7: Not a Crow fan, apparently I am, but I just.
Speaker 3: Don't like her singing this song. Like the lyrics are fabulous,
but I just want somebody else well.
Speaker 7: And it's not so much her voice, it's the music itself.
I feel like Tomorrow Never Dies. The theme kind of
harkens back to that sixties, mid to late sixties Bond era.
The music just feels like, oh, CHERRYL. Crow did it,
and then Chirley Bassey did one. It just it feels
like it's in the sixties and it doesn't feel like
it came out as late as it did. So I
love it though.
Speaker 2: All right, So now to wrap up round three, Jason,
your only clock?
Speaker 14: What do you have?
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm kind of going with Jeff's logic here. When
you look at the quality of the movie, sometimes you
write off the song. You kind of threw out the
baby with the bathwater. This is not a great Bond movie.
In fact, in my estimation, it's the biggest drop between
its predecessor and this current one. Right, But the song
is great, and it's the first time we get a duet.
And I'm going with Prince on this one. Prince doubled
down on this one and was a huge fan of
this particular Bond song. The movie is Quantum of Solace
and the song is Another Way to Die by Jack
White and Alicia Keys.
Speaker 11: Yes, love that one.
Speaker 3: That's my son's favorite. He's gonna be pissed.
Speaker 6: That's a fantastic tune. My gosh, what a great tune
that is.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I love that one. Interesting that it's a it's
a duet, you know, you get two great artists instead
of just one.
Speaker 3: Well, and I love that Jack.
Speaker 4: White is playing all the instruments. You got Alicia Keys
right there, and she's not playing the piano.
Speaker 7: How is Alicia Keys not playing the piano on this.
Speaker 3: Because Jack White can play them off?
Speaker 7: Share your toys, Jack, because she's a hell of a
piano player, is all I'm saying. And more interesting, Jason,
is you've picked up another theme that isn't the title
of the movie.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, well that is that's true.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought I thought I was uncovering a strategy
that you're pulling off of. I was looking down the list.
Speaker 2: Now, well, Jason, you get to in a row here
because we are now entering the final round of this draft.
What do you got for us to kick off round four?
Speaker 8: Okay, so very interestingly, this is my last pick, and
I thought I'd be dredging the bottom of the barrel here.
But I actually have a few songs that I really
like still available to me. But I'm probably gonna get
ridiculed for this pick because most people hate this song.
But I can't escape it. It goes back to the
ABC Sunday Night movie me watching it on this little kid.
Speaker 7: Don't do it.
Speaker 8: I'm doing it. I doing it. I'm going with the
Man with the Golden Guns.
Speaker 13: The man. I love that.
Speaker 8: It's it's like a thank you, Jason.
Speaker 9: We could have went a sixth round. It would still
be available.
Speaker 7: I don't care.
Speaker 13: I love this one.
Speaker 8: I love the I mean the the lyrics are pornographic.
I mean love is required. Whenever he's hired, he comes
before the kill. I mean, so anyway, I love the
Big Brass, I love I love the Man with the
Golden Gun. I'm more of a fan of this movie
than most people. So it goes back to my childhood.
Mark me down, Lulu the Man with.
Speaker 2: A y song.
Speaker 9: I'll give you that.
Speaker 8: Thank you.
Speaker 7: I told you off Mike. We were talking before we
started recording. I said that I didn't even bother after
twenty because there's some trash that I'm not gonna bother with.
But Jason, you'll be happy to know that Lulu's the
Man with the Golden Gun was was cracking the top
twenty for me right there at twenty.
Speaker 8: Okay, if I.
Speaker 7: Had to make a pick, I would have. I would have.
I would have done it. But thank you for for
for saving me.
Speaker 2: Very good. Well, Jeff, what is your final pick here
in the fourth round?
Speaker 7: I gotta be honest with you, guys. I'm pleasantly surprised
by these choices because I did not expect to have
a couple of these on my lists still out there.
While I have a certain song ranked higher, I feel
obligated that I have to have at least one Shirley
Bassi song. So I'm gonna go with Diamonds Are Forever.
Speaker 11: They leave in the night. I have no fear of
that name. Mine desut.
Speaker 3: Diamonds zup forever.
Speaker 15: One of them dress it, stroke it and.
Speaker 7: I and you know not to And I guess this
is the perfect timing to make this pick after Jason's
commentary on the on the lyrics to the Man with
the Golden Gun, because there is a another great documentary
called The Sound of Double O seven, but you can
see it on Prime where she kind of revealed that
when she's singing about diamonds are forever, she's actually singing
about specific part of the male anatomy. And when the
producers found this out, they were livid, but Kubby said, nope,
I like the song and we're keeping it.
Speaker 8: So there you go.
Speaker 7: I was cracking up Amber, go, but just listen all
you got. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna I'm gonna
repeat the lyrics. I'm just gonna say, go listen to
the lyrics and you'll you'll figure out pretty quick.
Speaker 3: I was not paying attention the first time, clearly, all right.
Speaker 2: So continuing with round number four, next up on the
clock is Pat, Pat, what do you have for us
for your final pick in this fantasy draft?
Speaker 6: So I'm looking at my list here, you know, and
I went with some of the more of the traditionals.
I got Adele singing the Skyfall, and I'm like, you know,
I got to have a little bit of contrast in here.
I gotta have something, you know, something a little bit
more rock or pop or put that in which that's
such a loose term because you know what I say,
pop is today. I mean, that's kind of what that
that big band john Berry sound was considered back in
the sixties and all that kind of stuff. So I
use those terms loosely. Jason, the quantum of Solas me
that was like, I'm like, I don't think that one's
gonna last, but it hung on as far. But then
you you snap that one up, and I mean, what
a great song that was. And I'm not sure. I'm
not sure what the groups think is going to be
on this one, but for like a great pop rock
tune Bond theme, I'm gonna have to go with the
material girl and go with Die Another Day, Doc, and I.
Speaker 3: So much with my whole heart. But that song is terrible.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's okay, you know what.
Speaker 6: That's okay. And I tend to like I like tend
to like the underdogs, like like the underdogs. Anyway, the
thing that gets me with that song is just the
way that groove sets where it's got a little bit
of that stop time in there, and it kind of
comes in with that montage of Bond being tortured. At
the beginning of the film. I almost said, I can't
remember what the movie was called, but at the beginning
of the film, for me, it doesn't quite have the
same standalone character maybe that some of the other tunes have,
but for me, what really just kind of brought me
into the story and oh wow, he's being captured, he's
being tortured. I haven't quite seen this book. I mean, sure,
back in the sixties he got in that weird machine
and it was shaking back and forth, but this is
this is pretty intense. And like I said, there's something
about the groove and that too, and the way she
sings it and the way the vocal lines just matched
with the groove. It brought me into the movie. So
I'm thank you for telling me to be bold. But no,
I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with it, and I'm gonna
go with but I'm gonna go with Madonna and buy
another day.
Speaker 9: I'm in the club with the glow sticks That's That's
what I'd like.
Speaker 7: That Kat you talked about. You mentioned torture, and I
think that goes hand in hand with Madonna's attempt at
that Bond theme. Listen, we all know Madonna has a
beautiful voice. Take a Bow for example. That is an
amazing song and it's a beauty. She's got a beautiful voice.
But this auto tuned thing that she's doing, you know,
and clearly she I don't know if she read the
wholessignment because she she just left out a chorus, she
didn't put one in the in the song at all.
Speaker 3: So like going on what she wants, Jeff, Well, it
doesn't mean that she.
Speaker 7: Should, but you know, I'm gonna say no to both. Bill,
have you seen have you seen the video where there's
three Madonnas. Yeah, I'm not recommending it. I'm just like,
there's a good Madonna in white leather, finding a bad
Madonna in black leather, and then there's another, a third
Madonna that's chained up and getting the hell beat out
of her.
Speaker 2: All Right, So we're rounding the corner here. Next up,
Bill Bant, what do you have for your final pick
in this draft?
Speaker 5: This one's a little tough because I actually have two
choices from one movie. I gotta get an ap song
in here, and I gotta give my man Smithew Dalton
some love.
Speaker 3: Yes, somebody else loves that's my guy.
Speaker 13: Bond.
Speaker 5: I think I'm actually gonna have this song in the
closing credits, A license a kill, which is if you
asked me to buy Patti LaBelle I Just, I Just,
which is one of my all time favorite Bond songs
until of course Selean Dion had to cover it and
totally ruin it.
Speaker 9: But I just love that song.
Speaker 5: It's just it's just a great ending credit song to
a to a Bond film, and a Bond film that's
finally starting to get appreciated, especially after the Daniel Craig error, like,
oh yeah, Jimsy don't used to do this, and he
did this really well too. When I first heard that song,
I was like, you know what, if I ever get married,
that's what I want my wedding song to be. But
then again sling Geon ruined it, so I will forever
curse our name. But Patila bell I mean amazing and
that it was a top ten song and then a
contemporary chart.
Speaker 9: It just didn't do well.
Speaker 5: In the Billboard Billboard chart and for some reason, when
Sleem Dude did it, it totally took off. And I
think it was in nineteen ninety three, was the most
played song live of that year.
Speaker 9: So how impact. But Leane used to thank Patty lebel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Patti la Belle version is so much better.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah.
Speaker 8: This summer, I spent a week in Key West and
while my wife was at the swimming pool, I got
an electric bike and went to about ten licensed to
kill shooting locations. Oh nice, and same last doing that.
So I feel a connection to that movie because of that.
Speaker 7: Well, Bill Bant mentioned that this movie kind of has
gotten a resurgence of love. I thought I thought that
started after you guys released that that on location video. Jason,
thanks serious, Yeah, right YouTube channel. I loved it. I
was like, Oh, he's tell me more, tell me more, and.
Speaker 2: I brough you up on Dalton. I don't know if
I'm ready to say he's my favorite Bond, but I do.
I genuinely enjoy both of his movies, and they both
came out in my high school years and I have
a tremendous amount of nostalgia for those, so I don't
get the hate for those I love both of them. Yes,
but guess what, You're on the clock. You're in the
final pick of the entire draft. What are you going
to take to wrap all this up?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm so excited because the one that I really
really wanted was still there, and Bill was making me
sweat a little bit because I'm picking the other song
from License to Kel the theme song like Gladys Knight,
I feel like it stitches together all of the best
things of like the sixties era Bond songs into one,
like great theme song. And yeah, I love Timothy Dalton
his Bond. He is my favorite Bond, even though I
love Sean Connery, I love Daniel Craig, but I really
enjoy his two movies.
Speaker 3: And I'm so excited that this one was.
Speaker 8: Still available at the time.
Speaker 5: I think it was the longest Bond song. It's five yeah,
five minutes fifteen seconds.
Speaker 17: Wow.
Speaker 4: Well, and in my like way over thinking of everything,
I had like all these different lists of criteria that
a song had to meet, and part of it is
those opening credit sequences. Those title sequences are so iconic,
but sometimes the song works with them and sometimes it doesn't.
And this one is one of those where they work
really well together.
Speaker 8: I got a fun fact about this song. Eric Clapton
turned in the first attempt for this movie and it
was rejected, which I'm like, I'm dying to hear that song.
But it's so similar to Goldfinger that they had to
pay royalties to the writers of the song Goldfinger. You listen,
go back and listen to it, and then in your
head think Goldfinger.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm gonna have to well pay more attention.
Speaker 2: I want to know who made the phone call to
Eric Clapton said no, we're not gonna use right, He's
gonna say that, all right. Well, that wraps up the
fantasy draft. So I'm gonna have each of you just
real quick go around and just list for us without
any commentary, Just list for us the four songs you
ended up drafting. Just before we do that, though, since
there's not a lot of songs left, I want to
just mention which ones did not get drafted. There's only
i'd say five plus one here the ones that did
not get picked. Moonraker, All Time High, which I believe
was octopusy right, yep, Living Daylights, The World is Not Enough,
and writings on the wall, and we had never say
never again available to be picked. It was not taken.
So those are the only six that I have here
as showing as eligible that did not get drafted today.
Just to put that out there so real quick, just
run down your list for us, Amber, what we were
the songs you ended up with?
Speaker 3: GoldenEye, you know my name, you only live twice and
licensed to kill.
Speaker 9: Excellent Bill a goldfinger, no time to die all the
time in the world. And if you ask you to pat.
Speaker 6: A fall thunderball from Russia with loves and die another day.
Speaker 7: Jeff, what'd you get a view to a kill for
your eyes only? Tomorrow never dies, diamonds are forever, and Jason.
Speaker 8: Live and let die. Nobody does it better? Another way
to die the man with the golden gun.
Speaker 2: All right. So, despite the fact that I am probably
the least qualified Bond fan here, it falls on me
to pick the winner of this. So this is entirely subjective,
and I want to put it out there up front
that I want everybody listening to this to leave a
comment or engage with social media and you let us
know who you think won this draft. But for me,
for whatever, my opinion is worth This quickly comes down
to just two people because of what I know my
top four songs are, and both of them each ended
up with two of them. Jeff drafted both A View
to a Kill and for your eyes only, those were
in my top four. I love both of those, how
can I not? And then Jason he picked Live and
Let Die, and nobody does it better. Those round out
my top four, and so it really comes down to
just those two guys. And I feel like Jason's got
the top and the bottom there, and Jeff's got the
two in the middle ground. So it's tough. It all
kind of averages out to the same. So in the end,
I'm just gonna lean toward the guy who drafted my
number one favorite song, Paul McCartney The Beatle, Live and
Let Die. Jason Colvin, congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 4: Mike.
Speaker 2: Entirely scientifically derived conclusion to all of that. But this
was tons of fun and I love hearing all the
commentary and everybody listening to this let us know if
I got it right or if I got it wrong,
which a here ended up with the best lineup of songs,
And now we have our bonus segment that I teas
at the beginning of the episode, and this is something
I am so excited about.
Speaker 13: No more song play.
Speaker 2: Before we got started, we sent out a request to
each of these agents here today to give us their
choice to come up with an original James Bond movie title,
to give us the name of the artist who would
sing that song, and provide for us a summary of
the plot of what that movie would be about. And
so I want to get started with that right now,
because I've seen these and they're all awesome. So we're
going to start when I come to you first. Just
give me your title and your artist and we'll go
from there. Amber, tell us the name of your original
James Bond movie slash theme song and who is singing it.
Speaker 3: Led on the Crown by Hosier, who.
Speaker 18: From the emerald the tail and folds of the Crown
of Jewel, and she creates some tols in things whispers,
the rebels cry, a heist of jewels, the reason you die,
Blood on.
Speaker 13: The crown, a royal disgrace.
Speaker 16: The diamonds gleams, the Trader's Emperor, several Old seven are constant,
the knights to right, the laws, to make things rym.
Speaker 4: Is that, Oh my gosh, I was so excited when
he sent it to me.
Speaker 3: It turned out so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does such a good job with all of
these that he puts on your show. So real quick,
before we move on, tell us what is Blood on
the Crown?
Speaker 4: All about Bond discovers that a series of thefts of
royal jewels are connected to supposed shin Fein bombings around London.
Speaker 3: Are the Irish to blame or are they being set up?
Speaker 8: Awesome?
Speaker 6: Nice?
Speaker 2: Love it all right, Blood on the Crown? Next up,
Bill Bant, tell us the name of your original James
Bond movie and who is singing the theme song?
Speaker 13: All right?
Speaker 5: I was thinking eighties when I came up with this concept.
So the title of my film is the Depth of
Deception and eighties. I figured I got to go British,
gotta go cool and swamp. So I want Robert Palmer.
Speaker 2: Robert Palmer, all right, all right, I'm going to throw
it back to d and the short lead can't be
serious band, let's hear it.
Speaker 10: Steps of the Ocean, a good takes hold a villain scheme,
dark and bowl with a plan to drown the world and.
Speaker 15: See a sinister game for all two.
Speaker 6: See The Depth of Deception.
Speaker 3: The same for the Mad massk In Man.
Speaker 2: I love it, I love every one of these. All right, excellent,
So Bill, tell us what is your movie about?
Speaker 5: The World's top naval commanders have gone missing. Now new
maple fleets and commercial boats throughout the world are running aground,
stopping shipping lanes and bringing the global economy into chaos.
James Bond is ordered by m I six to head
to Greece to learn more about Roger Galactus. Here, he
must meet ancient Hydra Colofkus of the National Intelligence Service,
where she believes the Oceana Preservation Marine Foundation is the
front for a radical organization. Plans are to melt the
polar ice caps, plunging most of the Earth underwater and
creating a new society within its depths. Bondinarida must travel
to China and Greenland to find clues that will help
them locate the organization's secret underwater base before it's too late.
Speaker 2: The Depths of Deception.
Speaker 8: That sounds incredible and I'm on the hook for that one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, Okay, definitely, you went big.
Speaker 2: That's that's impressive. Okay, awesome, all right, So Pat you're
gonna have to You're gonna have to top that, but
give us that.
Speaker 6: I don't think that's happening spoiler alert, but I'll give
it a go here, all right, give us your title artist. Okay,
So James Bond will return in for a King or
Country sung by a duet of Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga.
Speaker 9: Oh that interesting?
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely that, And I'm just I'm going to throw
this out here. I was just casting about, trying to
find like who I would want the artist to be,
and I happened upon the fact that Bruno Mars and
Lady Gaga just released a tune called Die with a Smile.
It's amazing and if you have not heard it, I
cannot recommend it enough. It's amazing. And when I when
I heard this, I was like, this is this is
this is it? This is it right here? Even and
I don't want to steal it, but even the title
of the tune, die with a Smile, would fit in
a Bond thing. So I'm not going to claim complete
credit because those two artists have already done it and
it's an amazing song that they put together. So hopefully
I can throw large sums of money at them and
get them to sing my song.
Speaker 13: In my movie.
Speaker 2: All right, well, let's see what the Shirley get me
A serious band came up with. Let's listen to it
right now.
Speaker 15: Any challenge, no fear will it in.
Speaker 12: They bye through the storm and the shadows will come fide.
Speaker 8: A.
Speaker 13: Love is a weapon, the force to be reckon.
Speaker 17: We'll fight for the fallar and never surrender, from the
icy peaks of the Apps to the sands of the Nile.
Speaker 2: So pat tell us what is for king or country
all about?
Speaker 6: So Spector has infiltrated every level of government, including I six,
Trusting no one find will be tested as never before. Well,
he races to uncover Spector's treachery or deadly plan.
Speaker 8: Dangm awesome. Any movie, any James Bond movie with Spector.
I'm I'm in man.
Speaker 2: We need all of these movies to exist. That sounds amazing. Jeff,
I don't know if you can talk that. But tell
us what is your title and your artist?
Speaker 7: The title is with Reckless Abandon making his return to music.
It is sung by L. L.
Speaker 8: Cool j.
Speaker 6: Yo check it, Ah, check it.
Speaker 3: I'm No.

Speaker 18: From the London from Moscow, I'm always on the flylea style.
Speaker 5: Why I'm a Montini man, shake him not, sir, soon
signed James, that's my name, you heard from the penthouse
in the streets.
Speaker 6: A beard.
Speaker 8: I'm a Romanizer, a heart breaker.
Speaker 10: I'm always on the edge, a danger seca from the
casino to the underground mayor.
Speaker 7: I'm the man.
Speaker 15: There's no one to compare.
Speaker 10: I'm that type of guy, reckless sabandon from the city
lights to the desert sand.
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm an eighties rap guy. I'm gonna lead toward
Hello cool Jay, except when you tell me he's going
to be singing a James Bond theme that I'm like, No,
that's not gonna work. But holy crap, that works. Well.
Speaker 7: You wouldn't think it works, but manned does it hit?
Speaker 2: It hits totally works. Okay, So tell us what is
with reckless abandon all about?
Speaker 7: Following a wave of terrorist attacks on the CIA and
MI six made to look retaliatory at one another, relations
between the US and Great Britain collapse as tensions rise
with the real threat of World War three looming, Double
O seven will break the rules, betray his allies, and
stop it nothing to expose the charismatic architect behind the attacks.
It's bond with Reckless, abandoned, damn dig it sounds great.
Speaker 9: Man smell a little Felix later cameo in this one.
I hope.
Speaker 7: Oh, there's a lot of Felix Lader in this one.
Speaker 2: Here we go, excellent. This sounds incredible. I feel so outclassed.
There's no way I could come up with any any
idea close to any of these. Jason, the pressure is
all on you. We've got four excellent ideas. What do
you have for us? What's your title and your artist?
Speaker 8: The title of my Bond thriller is Beauty and the
bullet sung by the Food Fighters.
Speaker 2: The Food Fighters, and I think we got them in
the studio. Let's hear from d and the Shirley Camp
be serious band with Beauty and the Bullet.
Speaker 16: In showshost Duty's christ beds in.
Speaker 15: This star Place, Beauty of the Danger Line, jer.
Speaker 13: And the Danger Refineo.
Speaker 2: Jason, what do you think?
Speaker 8: I think De and the Shirley Band did a great
job with this one. I'm happy with the song. I
think it's awesome.
Speaker 2: I'm happy it already sounds like the Food Fighters to me.
I'm ready to just plug it right in. So, Jason,
tell us what is Beauty in the Bullet all about.
Speaker 8: In the latest James Bond thriller, Beauty in the Bullet
a stunning and lethal Korean assassin code named Swan has
her sights set on I six is elite. As Doublo
agents fall one by one, her ultimate target becomes clear
Double O seven himself. To draw him out, she orchestrates
an audacious plot to assassinate King Charles, hoping to take
Britain's greatest spy and the monarch in one deadly strike.
As the clock ticks, Bond must navigate a web of deception,
seductive danger, and high stakes espionage to stop her before
it's too late.
Speaker 2: That sounds so much like a Bond movie. I can
visualize the North Korean assassin code named Swan very easily.
I could tell she'd already be a compelling character. I
love it, I love it, I love it, I love
all these.
Speaker 7: Jason, question, is this the film that we get the
character Ophelia Melons?
Speaker 8: Of course Aphelia Melons is gonna show up in this one.
Of course I wouldn't.
Speaker 7: I would hope, So, man, and I gotta tell you
that song. I just saw The Food Fighters three weeks ago,
and I wish they would have played that a.
Speaker 2: Very good all right. I am so impressed with all
these Every single one of these plots is something I
want to go see. Interesting that four of them dealt
with threats to my six, but each of them were
unique and I want to see all of them. I
am not gonna try to pick a winner here, but
I'll put it out to the listeners again. After hearing
these ideas for James Bond movies, theme songs, artists and plots,
tell us who do you think had the best idea
and you can separate that. Maybe somebody's got the best
song and artists, maybe somebody else has the best plot.
Just let us know what you think we want to
hear about it. I want to thank de Graves and
the Shirley Band forgiving us all those incredible songs, and
I think that's gonna do it for us today. I
want to thank all of my Double O agents for
reporting the duty today. You can go check out all
of their shows. We're going to put every single one
of their podcast that links all the contact info in
the description of this episode. No matter where you are
finding it. I hope you enjoyed this as much as
we did, and we will see you next time.
Speaker 6: Okay, I need a quick I don't want to break
the rules, so i'd have a quick question. Someone mentioned
on Her Majesty's Secret Service and the theme from that
I was gonna select. Does that mean Jason you're shaking?
Is it Sean?
Speaker 7: No instrumentals?
Speaker 6: No instrumentals.
Speaker 8: We call that the path and the song is Another
Way to Die by Jack Black and Alicia Keys.
Speaker 7: You mean Jack White?
Speaker 8: Sorry, Jack Black?
Speaker 7: Do that again?
Speaker 9: It's I want to hear that song.
Speaker 8: By Jack White and Alicia dang it. Yeah, no, I'm
just trying to figure out. I've never heard of Hoosier before.
Speaker 7: Who's that? It's Hosier, Hosier.
Speaker 3: It's from Indiana. Hoosier is a is a singer from Ireland.
