LICENCE REVOKED - a Bond Themes sync playlist

[octophone]

If you replace the word Skyfall with "Piehole", the song becomes more enjoyable.

Has this won the giraffe back a bit?

 

[dmlaw]

Did they forget that the vocal was actually supposed to be somewhere in the mix here?

I think it's just behind a donk.

Results are inconclusive

 

[AGinAg (37)]

You all nearly had an acoustic Jedward cover of Skyfall btw, just saying.

Fumin right now!

 

[Tisch]

 

[ButterTart]

I'm really enjoying this.

Oh shit, am I basic?

 

[Jark]

Who knew what this song needed was a DnB DONK slapping under it?

 

[dmlaw]

I am fairly convinced that a truly excellent drum and bass mix of Skyfall is possible. This is not that song.

What doesn't!?

PET SHOPS?

Pet Shop Boys - This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave
I suppose this one isn't as straightforward as being 'a rejected Bond theme'. The full story isn't out there, but basically the PSBs apparently did some sort of work on the score for 1987's The Living Daylights, with instrumental demos called 'James Bond #1/#2' floating around in fan circles. That track ended up being reworked into this song from their Behaviour album in 1990, complete with lyrics and altered production.

 

[ButterTart]

From these powerful, emotionally charged vocals I'm assuming this was a rejected Luther Vandross Bond song?

 

[COB]

The way he pronounces the word "years" as YAAAAAASSSS in this

Actually, it’s Paije Richardson.

 

[octophone]

You can hear what this would have sounded like with the Bond production but I'm glad that we have it this way instead.

 

[ButterTart]

This is actually quite good. I can't believe I've never heard it before.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh yes, this is grand.

 

[COB]

At least this poster has the correct Bond on it

 

[ButterTart]

Bit worried we're this far into the playlist and we've had nary a whiff of Lulu.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

There's a BARBARA BROCOLLI?

What is this? THE MUNCH BUNCH?

 

[dmlaw]

At least this poster has the correct Bond on it

I would support Dalton being replaced by Remington Steele era Brosnan on this poster.

 

[COB]

Bit worried we're this far into the playlist and we've had nary a whiff of Lulu.

I made a promise in the first post!




...but will I KEEP IT? Stay tuned

 

[Kate]

Bit worried we're this far into the playlist and we've had nary a whiff of Lulu.

Putting Lulu in a playlist is a bannable offence under section 74c of the Unwritten Moopy Rules.

 

[ButterTart]

What is this? THE MUNCH BUNCH?

That would be a brilliant name for a Lesbian comedy drama.

Scott Walker - Only Myself To Blame
Just in case the playlist didn’t have enough aching melancholy! This was intended to be used as the end credit song for The World is Not Enough, but the director felt it was too much of a "downer" (no shit ) so it was just included on the soundtrack album instead.

 

[octophone]

Oh, the holy voice of Scott Walker. Massive fan over here. Wonderful performance here.

 

[Kate]

Oh Scott and your dreamy voice

 

[COB]

A bit of a miserable double bill with PSB and this

 

[AGinAg (37)]

That would be a brilliant name for a Lesbian comedy drama.

Already is

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Mmmm.... Scott Walker. Pour your misery down on me.

 

[ButterTart]

here he is, singing another song about the time they called him Jackie.

Jesus. Imagine this song kicking in immediately after Brosnan’s final shitty Christmas pun.

 

[octophone]

It would be 7 years after this before Walker would release some new music. That was "The Drift" which had the 10 minute song with someone punching a pig's carcass for percussion. It is, of course, a masterpiece.

 

[ButterTart]

Jesus. Imagine this song kicking in immediately after Brosnan’s final shitty Christmas pun.

"Looks like I came down your chimney this time"
"Oooonly myseeeelf to blaaaame"

 

[COB]

Jesus. Imagine this song kicking in immediately after Brosnan’s final shitty Christmas pun.

I'd completely relegated DR CHRISTMAS JONES to my darkest memories until now

I hope Motiv8 went down well.

Nicole Scherzinger - Goldeneye
Oh yes! SO there was a very popular Goldeneye game for the N64 that came out at the same time as the film. This is a much later sort-of-but-not-really REMAKE for the Wii, that due to contractual reasons had to be a 'reimagining' (I think they were obliged to use the current Bond, which was Daniel Craig by that point). They also either couldn't or decided not to use the Tina Turner theme song, going instead with this cover by the shy and retiring Nicole Scherzinger (and produced by Dave Aude of Poison Venomous Mix fame).

I hope Motiv8 went down well.

Haven't been on yet!
