LICENCE REVOKED - a Bond Themes sync playlist

[octophone]

Oooh, right. we press play at 8, yah?

 

[dmlaw]

Cannot believe we had a BEYOND THE GRAVE voice note from the legendary Sir Timothy Dalton

The real question is why they chose the lead singer of The Who to introduce tonight’s extravaganza.

 

[COB]

Oooh, right. we press play at 8, yah?

Correct!

 

[COB]

I'm using my own YT account tonight, so will be dealing with ads - this should HOPEFULLY keep me roughly in sync with all of you for my write-ups.

 

[COB]

Who's here? Who's ready?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Damn, I just got Premium back!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

V. Ready!

 

[COB]

Damn, I just got Premium back!

Well that's okay, it just means the write-ups will lag slightly for you as it goes on

 

[Tisch]

Who's here? Who's ready?

BOTH

 

[octophone]

Adblocker for the win!

 

[Kate]

Who's here? Who's ready?

 

[COB]

GO!

 

[octophone]

Here we...here we...Here we fucking go!

 

[ButterTart]

Paulo Kenfold!

 

[octophone]

Oakenfold mixes are always so stiff and janky. This one's almost funny.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What an opener. I don't recall this!

 

[COB]

John Barry - James Bond Theme (Bond vs. Oakenfold)
Where else to start but with John Barry's iconic theme tune? There are so many versions of this (including a seven minute long reggae cover that I NEARLY included in this playlist), but here it is remixed by Paul Oakenfold for the Die Another Day soundtrack. Will we get anything else from that film? You'll have to wait, anticipate and see…

 

[Iguana]

Classic

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I am in the same room as this.

 

[COB]

Had some technical issues there, but I'm here now!

 

[octophone]

I wish they'd persuaded Portishead to do the Bond theme that time...

 

[Kate]

a seven minute long reggae cover that I NEARLY included in this playlist

pls to link to this afterwards x

You don't HAVE TO BE

 

[ButterTart]

As I recall, this was the ONLY song on the Die Another Day soundtrack and there was no official Bond theme for it.

 

[dmlaw]

I’m not convinced that there is enough to the Bond Theme for a four minute remix.

 

[COB]

As I recall, this was the ONLY song on the Die Another Day soundtrack and there was no official Bond theme for it.

Maybe we'll find out later whether that's true

 

[Iguana]

Will we get anything else from that film? You'll have to wait, anticipate and see…

Better flipping had

 

[ButterTart]

You don't HAVE TO BE

James Bond destroying yet another relationship

 

[dmlaw]

As I recall, this was the ONLY song on the Die Another Day soundtrack and there was no official Bond theme for it.

I thought showing those opening titles in complete silence was a bold stylistic choice.

 

[Tisch]

Is this on loop?

 

[COB]

Dame Shirley Bassey - Moonraker (disco version)
Who else could I have chosen for our first VOCALS of the evening? She’s got so many songs, darling. This is probably my favourite alternate version of a Bond theme that actually features in the film itself - this slice of disco joy plays during the end credits of 1979's Moonraker.

 

[octophone]

Now, this is proper groovy

 

[ButterTart]

Bond meets Fern Kinney

 

[Iguana]

Where are you, why do you hiiiiide?

 

[Kate]

She very much has the RANGE

 

[Tisch]

The Moonraker knooo-oooowwwssss
Goldfingaaaaahhhhhh

 

[octophone]

Uri Gellar's favourite Bond film...Spoonfaker.

 

[ButterTart]

The Moonraker knooo-oooowwwssss
Goldfingaaaaahhhhhh

THE DIAMONDS THEY ARE FOREVER SAAAAAAH

Instead of a dashing suit, I will be wearing trackies and a hoodie.

Instead of Martini, I will instead be necking some cold and flu meds.

Instead of rape, I will have a polite wank.
