Podcast appearances and mentions of Monty Norman

Send us a textThe name's The 90s Movies Podcast. Filmshake, The 90s Movies Podcast. And if you expect us to talk, you're in luck because we're back and talking 1999s Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and it's shocking, positively shocking. To kick things off though, we quickly recap our dreadful punishment film that most definitely does not have the Midas touch, 1999s exorable North Korean animated flick, The Legend of the Titanic, one of the worst films ever made. Then we move on to our perfectly rounded conversation on Pierce Brosnan's third outing as the legendary James Bond. Sound too good to be true? Well lucky for you, Christmas does come more than once a year... and nobody does it better!Music Heard This Episode"Bond Stinger" -- David Arnold (Originally composed by Monty Norman)"The World Is Not Enough" -- Garbage"Show Me the Money/Come in 007, Your Time Is Up" -- David Arnold"I Never Miss" -- David Arnold"Only Myself to Blame" -- performed by Scott Walker, written by David Arnold and Don BlackIntro music - "If" by Broke For FreeConnect with us!PatreonTwitterFacebookEmailLinktr.eeLetterboxd - Nic & JordanThe Nicsperiment

Composer Steve Pardo got to write music for one of the most musically famous franchises of all time in Cypher 007, the newest game from James Bond. And it's great! I love how the soundtrack fits seamlessly into the fabric of the stealthy Apple Arcade game. Steve and I talk about how neat that is, how great John Barry's original music is and a lot more in this week's chat. You can support Level with Emily on Patreon. Join us on Discord for free.

Our most ambitious episode ever. I've assembled three knowledgeable people to discuss, dissect and inform on the fascinating story of the theme's authorship. It's not as straightforward as you may think. We don't aim to change the official record but rather provide a backdrop into the composing of one of cinema's most famous pieces of music. We talk about the events of 1962 when the theme was being developed for the first Bond film "Dr. No". Also discussed are possible influences for the theme. We then dive into the lawsuit filed by composer Monty Norman against the Sunday Times who claimed John Barry had written the theme. All angles and opinions are explored to give the listener a comprehensive view of this controversial topic. Join Stephen Woolston, Peter Greenhill, Terry Walstrom and myself as we explore the story of "who wrote the James Bond Theme".

Podcast breakdown: 0:58 Interview 1:03:57 Break 1:04:32 Outro Issues covered: starting at Rare in '95, composing in hex, the imposing approach to programming, fitting in 1 Mb, making a clarinet from one note, limiting your palette, looping your cymbal decay, working within your limits, downsampling from 44.1 kKz and using the EQ, working from good tunes rather than a huge palette, getting a degree in trumpet and living the musician life, the dole and mom's house, sending in casette tapes, having a meg of memory to play with, going to Disneyland, a farm in the middle of nowhere with teams in stables, a family affair, GameBoy in the morning and GoldenEye in the afternoon, limiting who could be in what building, a culture of friendly rivalry, taking ideas and building on them, brilliant bosses, being into the Bond films, the best film releases of every year, not knowing what you're doing, working on the multiplayer in secret, "not pleasing anyone a lot but pleasing a lot of people a little bit" these days, coming up with the idea in the morning and doing it in the afternoon, the indie spirit, small teams, making the engine you need and no extraneous bits, building games like Nintendo, working from two or three sentences, how does this thing sound (spiky things vs forest things), messing around until you hear what you like, instinctual, developing from an emotional sense, delving into Statue Park, trying to find the John Barry magic, being afraid you're going to get fired and instead moving on to another project, getting a chance to film all the sets, having the magic destroyed, a game that just kept selling and selling, the godfather of trap music, pause music becoming the soundtrack of the game, falling into games without training, music living on when the games don't necessarily, things that get into your head as a child, remembering what you've done, making someone's favorite game, having quite a journey, games as not a destination for composers, having a scene.

The Bonds are back in town. Nach einer kurzen Auszeit sollte es eigentlich jetzt monatlich mit James Bond weitergehen. Und warum auch nicht? Wir sind in den 80ern. Star Wars und Indiana Jones boomen als Abenteuer-Filme, Alien setzt Maßstäbe in Sachen Effekte und Spannung und der Aufstieg der Action-Filme steht erst bevor. Da muss James Bond einiges bieten um dran zu bleiben. In diesem Fall ist es zumindest erstmal eine sehr verworrene Story und eine Armee von leicht bekleideten Frauen gegen einen afghanischen Prinzen .. ok, das klingt schlimmer als es ist. Aber es ist nicht schlimmer, als der Titel. Herzlich willkommen zur Besprechung von: James Bond - Octopussy. Das James-Bond-Theme haben Monty Norman respektive John Barry geschrieben, einige Leitmotive werden amateurhaft aufgegriffen und in der Folge verwendet. Die Rechte am Original liegen natürlich bei der jeweiligen Verwertungsgesellschaft. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steinwurf/message

Nyheter på medelsvår engelska. Under en fotbollsmatch i Turkiet kastade publiken in leksaker på planen för att visa sitt stöd för de offer som omkom i jordbävningarna i februari. I England höjs röster som vill påverka marknadsföringen för e-cigaretter. I nya upplagor av James Bond-böckerna har man ändrat på ord som idag anses stötande. Musik: James Bond Theme av John Barry och Monty Norman.

"You take a sad song and make it better..."   Hey Paul - thanks for the lyrics (even though we don't mention the Beatles AT ALL in this show.)   Tonight we honor the massive musical talent we lost in 2022... poorly, just like you expect from your hosts.    Eric & El Carpe roll through the songs from the bands these folks were part of... part of the bands, and part of our lives.     We played songs from bands like, The Specials, Primal Scream, The Tubes, PIL, The Pogues, Nazareth, Depeche Mode, Foo Fighters, Happy Mondays, Suicidal Tendencies, Foreigner, Olivia Newton John, (not Olivia Newtron Bomb), The Rascals, Meatloaf, Q Lazzarus, and the Stranglers...  to name just a few.   Not to mention others we lost others like Monty Norman who composed the 007 Theme Song, Coolio (we did a show earlier this year devoted only to him), Jerry Lee Lewis and Loretta Lynn.   Lot of talent gone, but they left behind a catalog of amazing and varied music for us and generations to hear and enjoy... and make new memories.  Thanks for all the creative talent you gave us !   Somehow we turned as sad story into something fun.  We hope you enjoy listening to our mess as we try to honor the talent we lost this year. May your 2023 rock and roll (koochie-koo)... Join us for more fun as we continue to hack our way through the next year of musical silliness... Eric has some great ideas, and El Carpe is his bitch... so will do whatever he wants.   It's gonna be fun, join us !   Pour Me Another Brother !

Wer ist 2022 von der Bühne des Lebens abgetreten, hat den letzten Vorhang fallen sehen, die letzten Meter abgedreht? Wir blicken zurück auf das Jahr 2022 und verneigen uns vor einigen großen Akteur*innen, die wir von der Kinoleinwand, aus dem Fernsehen oder auf dem Regiestuhl kennen. Von Hardy Krüger bis Olivia Newton-John, von Michael Degen bis Dieter Wedel.

Der hier ist merkwürdig. Wir kennen Sean Connery als Bond und wir kennen Feuerball. Und das hier ist Sean Connery in Feuerball. Aber alles ist anders. Nachdem der OG-Bond zurückgekehrt war aus dem Ruhestand und dann wieder in den Ruhestand ging, ist er nun zum letzten Mal zurückgekehrt. Allerdings nicht im offiziellen Kanon, wenn sich dieser so schimpfen darf. Die gleichen Charaktere und die gleiche Rahmenhandlung, aber andere Produzenten und andere Aufmachung: Willkommen im weirdesten Bond-Film der Bond-Reihe! Das James-Bond-Theme haben Monty Norman respektive John Barry geschrieben, einige Leitmotive werden amateurhaft aufgegriffen und in der Folge verwendet.

Internationally acclaimed James Bond expert and author Steven Jay Rubin joins the podcast to celebrate the 60th anniversary of “Dr. No” and the James Bond film franchise.We start with a discussion of his newly updated “The James Bond Movie Encyclopedia,” the ultimate resource for Bond fans and collectors.  Then we discuss the early development of the first Bond film before getting into a detailed discussion of “Dr. No,” which was released in the UK on October 5, 1962.  Steven provides background on the casting of a fairly unknown Scottish actor by the name of Sean Connery as James Bond and his collaboration with director Terence Young to establish the character.  We also discuss the importance of Joseph Wiseman's portrayal of the first filmed Bond villain, Dr. No, and how it established the tone of the villains that followed.  And we discuss the other cast, including then-unknown actress Ursula Andress in one of the most iconic introductions in film history. We also discuss the importance of composer Monty Norman, the opening titles created by Maurice Binder, Peter Hunt's fast-paced editing style, and production designer Ken Adam's incredible sets.  We bookend the discussion with a detailed review of the most recent film, “No Time to Die” starring Daniel Craig in his last role as Bond. We review the rocky start of the film and the controversial ending of the movie.  We also discuss Craig's impact on the Bond legacy and some of our favorite stunts and scenes in the films.   We finish up the celebration with a fun rapid-fire sequence where we learn which films are fan favorites, the most popular Bond actor, and what the future holds for the franchise.Purchase on Amazon:The James Bond Movie EncyclopediaDr. No Blu-ray No Time to Die 4KGuest Linkswww.stevenjayrubin.comFacebookOtaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.  Contact us today to see how we can work together to achieve your goals.  www.otakumedia.tv

Wieder hier, wieder wir! Wir machen uns an den nächsten Bond-Teil, nachdem wir den Ausflug ins Star-Wars-Universum erstmal verdauen mussten. Bond muss erneut ein McGuffin um die Erde jagen bevor es die Russen kriegen und dabei kommen ihm nicht nur Frauen, Griechen und Kubaner in die Quere sondern auch minderjährige Eisläuferinnen, die es auf ihn abgesehen haben - verrückt! Für Feedback und Kommentare zu uns aber insbesondere den Filmen sind wir gerne bereit und streiten auf YouTube in den Kommentaren :-) Hier könnt ihr gerne ein Bewertung dalassen, das würde uns sehr freuen!

“Never Say Never”, die Anspielung der Ehefrau auf die letzte Bemerkung von Sean Connery, nie wieder James Bond nach Diamantenfieber zu spielen. Nun ist er also zurück, mit 52, charismatisch, augenzwinkernd, selbstironisch und für fünf Millionen plus Prozente vom Einspielergebnis. Der Film ist ein variiertes Feuerball-Remake, das wegen einer komplizierten Rechte-Gemengelage ohne Beteiligung der Bond-Produktionsfirma Eon entstehen konnte.

In the wake of so many movie and TV celebrity passings this week, Steve devotes time to the careers of actor James Caan, composer Monty Norman, actor LQ Jones and actor Larry Storch.  

This week's Nose shows no hails from the surface or sub-space chatter. No interplanetary traffic. Not one orbital dock. This week, NASA released the first images sent back from the James Webb Space Telescope. They are mind-boggling. They are meme inducing. They are … mouth watering? Sort of relatedly: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the 11th Star Trek television series and the fifth series in Alex Kurtzman's expanded Star Trek universe. It tells the story of Christopher Pike's time as captain of the USS Enterprise in the years before Captain Kirk. Its first season concluded last week on Paramount+. A second season is currently in production. Some other stuff that happened this week, give or take: ‘Sopranos' actor Tony Sirico dies at 79 Larry Storch of TV's ‘F Troop' dies at 99 The Wild Bunch Star L.Q.

We caught up with White in his native Brooklyn to learn what it took to get in the kitchen. A Hookup App for the Emotionally Mature Modern romance can feel cold and alienating. Feeld, by encouraging open-mindedness and respect, suggests a way forward. Where the Crawdads Sing Author Wanted for Questioning in Murder A televised 1990s killing in Zambia has striking similarities to Delia Owens's best-selling book turned movie. The Winners and Losers of the 2022 Emmy Nominations ‘Squid Game' and ‘Abbott Elementary' defied the odds while sentimental favorites were snubbed, but in the end, maybe there's just Too Much TV Leonard Cohen's ‘Hallelujah' Belongs to Everyone What is it about the once virtually unknown song that inspires so many musicians to make it their own? BMW starts selling heated seat subscriptions for $18 a month The auto industry is racing towards a future full of microtransactions Elliot Page Brings His Misfit Characters to Life Even before Page—and his character on “Umbrella Academy”—came out as trans, he had a gift for playing people who were restless in their identities.

We fought valiantly against bad network connections and awful weather to bring you our thoughts! A Bob Dylan jukebox musical theatre show.. it's an unlikely idea. Did the cast of Girl From the North Country impress The Captain? El Tele has a problem - eating with chopsticks? What's all that about? The Captain knows what he prefers to eat with too.El Tele has found another series to slump onto the sofa and watch, and listens to a new podcast starring Jim Moir and Morgana Robinson. Prompted by El Tele's viewing of How To Build A Girl, we delve into a discussion of film adaptations of books. Do they disappoint or delight? Let us know. Another question that's bugging us.. can you think of any pop stars who went on to be well respected in other music genres?We say farewell to James Caan and Monty Norman (mentioned in our James Bond Special), and ask you for a favour, dear listeners.Show notes and links at https://www.onlyapodcast.com/episode-19-chopstick-chat-and-films-of-books/

Son nom est Bond, James Bond. Derrière ce générique mondialement connu, se cache pourtant une sombre affaire d'emprunt, de copie voire de plagiat, digne des meilleurs films d'espionnage ! Avec au générique Monty Norman, John Barry, Artie Shaw et... Count Basie !

Muziek van Hans Zimmer bij de James Bond-film No Time To Die. De nieuwste James Bond, dit keer onder regie van Cary Joji Fukunaga, en de vijfde keer met Daniel Craig in de rol van de Engelse geheim agent die zelfs na zijn pensioen op Jamaica nog de enige is die de wereld kan redden. Eindelijk durft James Bond zichzelf te laten zien als niet alleen de onverslaanbare held maar ook als een man met gevoelens, die ontroerd kan worden door de onschuld van een kind, en die nu eens niet met dédain en flauwe sexistische humor reageert op de vrouwen die hem omringen. Natuurlijk moet Bond de wereld weer eens zien te redden, dit keer van een prettig ongeloofwaardige schurk (gespeeld door Rami Malek) die nóg slechter is dan de vorige, en die met een virus de hele mensheid bedreigt. Misschien nog wel belangrijker dan het redden van de wereld, en in elk geval hartverscheurender, is dat Bond in het reine moet zien te komen met zijn geliefde Madeleine (mooie ingetogen rol van Léa Seydoux), die een groot geheim voor hem verzwegen heeft. Als het over de muziek gaat ligt de focus vaak op dat ene lied, de titelsong, van Shirley Bassey met Diamonds are forever tot Skyfall van Adele - en in dit geval No time to die met de zuchtende stem van Billie Eilish. Maar de muziek bij de rest van de film, in dit geval gemaakt door Hans Zimmer, is minstens zo interessant en natuurlijk voor het gevoel van spanning en drama uiterst belangrijk. Zimmer heeft een verbluffend bewijs van zijn vaardigheden als componist geleverd. Alle bekende thema's uit de geschiedenis van de Bond-muziek, met natuurlijk op tal van momenten daarin verwerkt het thema van John Barry (officieel staat dat thema nog altijd op de componist van de eerste Bond-score, Monty Norman). Heb je bij andere filmmuziek van Zimmer nog weleens het gevoel dat het er allemaal wel erg digk bovenop ligt, en misschien wat al te bombastisch is, dat is bij de muziek van No time to die zeker niet het geval - natuurlijk gaat het af en toe flink te keer, maar dat hoort bij de actie van de film. Op de gevoeliger momenten is wat Zimmer ervan weet te maken ook echt gevoelig en melodieus. En dat hoor je eigenlijk nog des te beter als je de film gezien hebt en daarna met je ogen dicht naar de muziek gaat luisteren. 1. Gun Barrel 2. Matera 4. Square Escape 6. Not what I expected 7. What have you done? 8. Shouldn't we get to know each other first 9. Cuba chase 10. Back to MI6 13. Home 14. Norway chase 20. Final Ascent

The latest installment of the James Bond franchise, No Time To Die, closes the book on the Daniel Craig era of the international superspy. The film's theme song, “No Time to Die,” by Billie Eilish, Finneas, and Hans Zimmer, also marks the conclusion of one of the great musical sagas in recent cinema. Monty Norman's and John Barry's now-iconic “James Bond Theme,” written for 1962's Dr. No, has remained a constant across six decades of espionage and one-liners. But every new Bond theme has also developed subtle variations on the original that reflect the character's changes over time. On this episode of Switched On Pop, we uncover what inspired the theme, how it's changed, and why it almost never happened.

Cada estreno de una película de Bond es un acontecimiento. Como lo es, también, la canción elegida para figurar en los míticos créditos iniciales de cada filme. A lo largo de años, han sido muchos los temas elegidos pero, también, los rechazados. Ésta es la tercera y última entrega sobre esas canciones que estuvieron a punto de ser "canción 007", pero que, por diversas razones (unas justas otras inexplicables) no lo fueron. Hay canciones curiosas, excelentes y, claro, también... horribles. Como sus interpretes y autores... Aprovechamos además para contaros algunas curiosidades de las pelis en las que debieron aparecer y de la saga en general. Y, os descubrimos el auténtico origen del primer tema de James Bond, compuesto por Monty Norman y arreglado por John Barry en los 60.

Die beste Filmmusik ist die, die man gar nicht bemerkt. Das galt lange als vermeintliches Qualitätssiegel für Filmkomponist:innen. Doch von Hildur Guðnadóttirs düsteren Elektroniksounds bis zu den mächtigen Blechbläsern von Hans Zimmer: Ohne Musik ist der Film kaum vorstellbar. Filmkomponist:innen erzählen Geschichten, steuern Emotionen und formulieren mit Tönen und Klängen, was Bilder nicht sagen können. Italo-Western werden mit der Musik von Ennio Morricone identifiziert. Titelmotive wie das von Henry Mancini zum «Pink Panther» oder von Monty Norman zu den James-Bond-Filmen gehören längst zum kollektiven Bewusstsein. Die Filmmusik spielt nicht länger eine scheinbare Nebenrolle in abgedunkelten Kinosälen – inzwischen steht sie sogar im klassischen Konzertsaal im Scheinwerferlicht. Filmmusik wird seit Jahren als die «neue Klassik» gehandelt; Studiengänge und Lehrstühle in diesem Bereich werden zahlreicher; Filmmusikkonzerte boomen und immer wieder gründen sich neue Orchester, die sich einzig und allein diesem Genre widmen. In «Kontext» sprechen wir über die Faszination an Filmmusik. Warum soll man sie live im Konzert spielen? Und welche Stile sind gerade im Trend? Wir werfen einen Blick auf das Schweizer Filmmusikschaffen und wir stellen ihnen Filmkomponistinnen vor, die in der Filmmusikbranche leider auch 2021 noch ein Schattendasein fristen.

Comenzamos con este podcast una serie de capítulos en los que daremos un repaso a la música y películas de una saga que se ha mantenido a lo largo de seis décadas. Le salieron múltiples imitadores y ha ido evolucionando en manos de sus productores, que vigilan con mimo cada nueva entrega ya que es su gallina de los huevos de oro. Haremos un repaso de las misiones del famoso agente británico con licencia para matar, en las que buena parte de su éxito se debió a su acción trepidante, sus retorcidos villanos, sus explosivas mujeres y las localizaciones en lugares exóticos, en unos años en los que viajar no era tan asequible como lo es hoy en día cuando no hay pandemia. En este primer capítulo nos centraremos en las películas estrenadas en la década de los años 60, casi todas protagonizadas por Sean Connery, el actor escocés que creó el personaje para la gran pantalla.

Beginning with the famous Monty Norman music for Dr. No in 1962 and following with the iconic John Barry scores over the next six films, the James Bond franchise has been a haven for fantastic movie soundtracks. However, over a series spanning 24 films they were bound to have a few that don't resonate as well or have aged less gracefully. In this episode, we discuss our least favourites of the entire catalogue with the aim to collectively agree the weakest and two runner's up. Enjoy!

The name’s Flicks – At The Flicks, and welcome to our James Bond special. In anticipation of the opening of No Time To Die in the near future (fingers crossed), the team look back at the early days of the James Bond films. Team member Elijah has a special 'Rediscovering the Classics' as he talks about two movies. From Russia With Love and Goldfinger. Which stands the test of time better and how do they stack up against Dr No (you can find our thoughts on that film in episode 64)? Listen in to find out. As an added bonus, Warren Ringham, the creator of the excellent 'Q The Music', joins us to talk about the music of the early James Bond films. We go from Monty Norman’s score for Dr No through to John Barry’s score for Goldfinger. Even Jeff, our film music specialist, learnt quite a bit listening to Warren. So, put on your tuxedo, make yourself a vodka martini (shaken not stirred, of course), and settle down for a wonderful At The Flicks special.

Why not join them? Errata I repeatedly mispronounce Faith’s birth surname as “Nelham”. It was “Nelhams”, with an “s”. I also say that “Milk From the Coconut” by Johnny Gentle made the top thirty. It didn’t — I got this from an unreliable source. Transcript Today we’re going to take our last look at the pre-Beatles British pop world, and we’re going to look at a record that’s far more important in retrospect than it seemed at the time. We’re going to look at Adam Faith, and a track he recorded called “I’ve Just Fallen For Someone”: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “I’ve Just Fallen For Someone”] As is normal for British rock and roll stars of the fifties, Adam Faith was a pseudonym, in this case for someone whose birth name is the subject of some debate — the registrar seems to have got a bit confused — but who was known as Terry Nelhams, a five-foot-five singer with high cheekbones, a strong chin, and a weak voice. The crucial change in Nelhams’ life had come at the cinema, when he had watched a film called Rebel Without A Cause, starring James Dean. Amazingly, I think we managed to get through the whole 1950s without mentioning Dean, but he was a massive figure in youth pop culture of the fifties, and his presence still resonated for decades afterwards. Dean only starred in three films, and only one, East of Eden, was released in his lifetime — he died in a car crash while the other two were in post-production — but his performance in the posthumously-released Rebel Without A Cause seemed to many teenagers of the time to encapsulate everything that they wanted to be.  And Terry Nelhams decided he wanted to be James Dean — why not? He bore a slight resemblance to him. Terry was going to go into showbiz. There was a problem, though — in the Britain of the fifties, acting was something that was largely the purview of the middle classes, and Terry was firmly working class. He lived on a council estate and went to a secondary modern — the schools which, in the fifties UK education system, were designed for people who were considered unlikely to succeed academically. There was no way he was going to end up studying at RADA or any of the other ways one got into acting. So he decided that rather than become a film star, he would become a director. That was much easier to get into than acting was, in the British film industry of the fifties — you got a job as a tea boy at a film studio, worked your way up into the editing suite, became an editor, and then became a director. There was a steady career path, and you had job security at every stage — and Terry Nelhams was someone who always looked after his money. So that’s what he did — he got a job at the Rank organisation as a messenger, then moved across to a company that made commercials for the new commercial TV network ITV, where he was an assistant editor. But while he was working at Rank, Nelhams had joined a skiffle group, the Worried Men — named after the skiffle standard — who had been formed by some of the younger employees. They became the resident band at the 2is when the Vipers Skiffle Group went out on tour. Despite all the stories about other people who had been discovered at the 2is on their first gig, the Worried Men ended up performing there for months before any kind of success. But then they did get a certain amount of fame, when Six-Five Special did its single most famous episode — a live outside broadcast from the 2is itself. As the house band, the Worried Men got to perform a few songs on that show, and they also got a couple of tracks on two Decca compilations, “Rockin’ at the 2is” and “Stars of the Six-Five Special”: [Excerpt: The Worried Men, “This Little Light”] But neither album sold particularly well, and the Worried Men slowly drifted apart — one member joined the Vipers, and Nelhams left before the group got in a couple of people we’ve already seen a few times in our story — both Tony Meehan, who would go on to join the Shadows, and Brian Bennett, who ended up replacing him, passed through the group. But while Nelhams had quit the Worried Men — as much as anything else because holding down a day job while he also played for four hours at the 2is every night was starting to affect his health — Jack Good remembered him from that one Six-Five Special appearance, and thought that his looks, if not his singing ability, gave him the potential to be a star.  Good changed Nelhams’ name to Adam Faith, and gave him a solo spot on Six-Five Special, as well as getting him a contract with HMV, one of several record labels owned by the large conglomerate EMI. His first single on HMV was “(Got A) Heartsick Feeling”, backed by Geoff Love and his Orchestra: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “(Got A) Heartsick Feeling”] That record was, of course, publicised on Six-Five Special, but the extent to which Faith’s star potential was based on his looks rather than his singing ability can probably be seen from the fact that after his first appearance on the show he mimed rather than sing live, unlike all the other performers. The record was not a success, and nor was his second single, a cover of Jerry Lee Lewis’ “High School Confidential”: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “High School Confidential”] Faith was unpopular, but he was able to give up his day job in the editing room to go on tour with a package based on Six-Five Special, at the bottom of the bill. And on that tour he became friendly with one of the other acts, John Barry, the trumpet playing leader of a group called the John Barry Seven. Barry had wanted to be an arranger for big bands, but when he realised that was no longer a viable career path, he’d formed his small group, who at the time were making records like “Zip Zip”, which were fairly awful early British rock and roll efforts, but with slightly more interesting instrumental arrangements than the bulk of the work being put out in the UK at that point: [Excerpt: The John Barry Seven, “Zip Zip”] When Jack Good moved over to ITV to do Oh Boy!, he took Faith with him, but Faith’s career was stagnating, and he quit performing altogether, and got another job as an assistant editor at Elstree studios, working on ATV shows like William Tell and The Invisible Man. But then Faith got a call from John Barry. The BBC were putting together a new show, Drumbeat, to compete with Oh Boy!, and they wanted their own star to compete with Cliff Richard and Marty Wilde. Would Adam be interested? He would — though he was cautious enough after last time that he kept his day job. He’d bunk off work on Thursday and Friday afternoons to rehearse and record the show, and make the time up on Sundays. His workmates covered for him when he bunked off, and that worked until his boss’ daughter mentioned to the boss that she’d seen Terry on the telly. He was told he had to choose between his pop career and a secure job, and he decided to make his pop career into a secure job, by getting a guaranteed six-month contract on Drumbeat before quitting Elstree. Drumbeat did little to make Faith’s records sell any more, but it did lead to acting appearances — as a biker in the police show No Hiding Place, and as a musician in a cheap exploitation film that was originally titled “Striptease Girl”, before the censors made the film producers cut the nudity out (except for foreign markets) at which point it was retitled Beat Girl in the UK, and Wild For Kicks in the US. It was hardly Rebel Without a Cause, but it was definitely a step in the right direction. The music for that film was done by Adam’s friend John Barry — the very first film score Barry ever did: [Excerpt: The John Barry Seven, “Beat Girl”] But Adam Faith was still a pop star without a hit, and that was a situation that couldn’t last. He was also temporarily without a record contract, but his new manager Eve Taylor managed to get him one with Parlophone, another EMI-owned label. And then his Drumbeat contacts came through in a big way.  One of the other acts who regularly appeared on the show was a group called the Raindrops, who featured a singer who had been born Yannis Skoradalides, but whose name had soon been anglicised to John Worsley. He’d then taken on the stage name Johnny Worth, which was the name he performed under, but he was also starting to write songs — and because he was under contract as a recording artist, he took on yet another name as a songwriter to avoid any legal complications, so he was writing as Les Vandyke. It was under that name that he wrote a song called “What Do You Want?”, which he played to Faith and Barry, his two colleagues on Drumbeat. They saw potential in it — a lot of potential. And John Barry had an idea for an instrumental gimmick. We’re now into 1959, and Buddy Holly’s “It Doesn’t Matter Any More” had just been a big posthumous hit for him: [Excerpt: Buddy Holly, “It Doesn’t Matter Any More”] The pizzicato strings, in particular, had caught the ear of a lot of people, and Barry had already used them in the arrangement he’d written for “Be Mine”, a record by the minor British pop star Lance Fortune: [Excerpt: Lance Fortune, “Be Mine”] That hadn’t been released yet – it went top five when it eventually was – and Barry thought that it was worth repeating the trick, and so he came up with a pizzicato arrangement for the song Vandyke had written. And for a final touch, Faith received some vocal coaching from another Drumbeat performer, Roy Young, who taught him how to mangle his vowels so that he could sing in what was, to British ears, almost a convincing imitation of Buddy Holly’s hiccupping vocal, particularly on the word “baby”. The result was a huge hit, becoming the first number one single ever on the Parlophone label: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “What Do You Want?”] Faith was now a real pop star at last. “What Do You Want?” was also one of the very rare British records to actually get an American cover version — Bobby Vee, the Buddy Holly soundalike, picked up on the record and issued his own version of it: [Excerpt: Bobby Vee, “What Do You Want?”] That wasn’t a success, but as Vee became a star he would occasionally record versions of other songs Faith recorded. Faith’s second Parlophone single was another number one, and another song written by Les Vandyke and arranged by John Barry. It was very much “What Do You Want?” part two, but there was an interesting musical figure Barry came up with in the intro: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “Poor Me”] In the 1990s, Barry used that as evidence in a court case over his claim to authorship of the piece of music with which he is most associated, a piece arranged and performed by Barry, but whose credited writer is Monty Norman. Compare and contrast “Poor Me”: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “Poor Me”] And the James Bond theme: [Excerpt: John Barry, “James Bond Theme”] For the next couple of years, Faith had a string of hits, mostly written by Vandyke and arranged by Barry, though no more number ones. By most metrics — in hits, record sales, and fan appeal — he was the second-biggest British pop star of the early sixties, after Cliff Richard.  He also became well known as a media personality, thanks in large part to his appearance on the interview show Face to Face. This was a TV programme that ran from 1959 through 1962 — almost the precise same length as Faith’s pop career — and which had interviewer John Freeman sat with his back to the camera, while the studio was largely in darkness other than the face of the person he was interviewing. Freeman’s questions seem in the modern media landscape to be remarkably gentle, but in the early sixties he was regarded as the most incisive and probing interviewer in the British media. He reduced at least one subject, Gilbert Harding, to tears, and his questioning of Tony Hancock is popularly supposed to have started Hancock into the spiral of questioning, self-doubt, and depression that led first to his career crashing and burning and eventually to his suicide. Most of the guests that Freeman had on the show were serious, important, highbrow people. The thirty-five episodes of the show included interviews with Bertrand Russell, Carl Jung, Adlai Stevenson, Henry Moore, Martin Luther King and Jomo Kenyatta. But occasionally there would be someone invited on from the world of sport or entertainment, and Faith was invited on to the show as a representative of youth culture and pop music. The questions asked on the show were clearly designed to make Faith — a twenty-year-old pop singer who went to a secondary modern and still lived on a council estate even now he’d hit the big time — seem a laughing stock, and to poke holes in his image. Everyone involved seems to have been surprised when he came across as a well-read, cultured, if rather mercenary, young man who could string three words together: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “Face to Face”, interview questions about classical music and literature] As a result of that appearance, Faith was increasingly asked on to TV shows to be “the voice of the youth”, particularly as he was the first pop star to admit to things like having sex before marriage. He debated with the Archbishop of York about religion on national TV, in a debate chaired by Ludovic Kennedy, and Faith was largely viewed as having come out better than the bishop. He also took at least one brave political stand in 1964. He had been booked to tour in South Africa, and agreed to do so only under the condition that he would perform only to integrated audiences. But when he got on stage for one show, he saw the police dragging two young girls out of an otherwise all-white audience, because they weren’t white. He walked off stage, and refused to do the rest of the tour. The promoter demanded compensation, and Faith refused, saying he’d made clear that he was only going to play to integrated audiences. He tried to leave the country, booking plane tickets under his birth name to escape suspicion, but was dragged off the plane at gunpoint by South African police. Eventually the intervention of the chairman of EMI, the British Foreign Secretary, the general secretary of Equity, the actor’s union, and several brave journalists who said that if Faith was imprisoned they would go to prison with him, meant that Faith was allowed to leave the country, though EMI paid the promoter’s compensation and took it out of Faith’s future royalties. Not that there were many royalties by that point. In early 1963, John Barry had stopped working with Faith to concentrate on his film music — he’d just started working on the Bond films that would make his name — and the hits dried up then, especially when musical styles suddenly changed in the middle of that year. But Faith had managed to parlay his looks into an acting career by that point, and over the next decade he appeared in several films, starred in the TV series Budgie, and toured in repertory theatre. He also became a manager and producer, managing Leo Sayer and producing Roger Daltrey’s solo recordings. He would occasionally make the odd record himself, up to the nineties, with his final single being a duet with Daltrey on a cover version of “Stuck in the Middle With You”: [Excerpt: Adam Faith and Roger Daltrey, “Stuck in the Middle With You”] But as someone who looked after his money, Faith had been far more canny than most of his fellow pop stars, and for much of his life he was a very wealthy man. While he continued performing, his main role in the eighties and nineties was as a financial journalist and investment advisor, writing columns on finance for the Daily Mail. He presented the BBC business show Working Lunch, the Channel 4 money show Dosh, and eventually started his own TV channel devoted to business, The Money Channel. Unfortunately for him, the Money Channel went down in the stock market crashes of the early 2000s, and Faith went bankrupt in 2002. He died in 2003, aged sixty-two. But you’ll notice we haven’t yet mentioned the song that this episode is about. That’s because that song, “I’ve Just Fallen For Someone”, was completely unimportant in Adam Faith’s life. It was just a bit of album filler on his second album. But though Faith didn’t know it, it was an important song in rock music history: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “I’ve Just Fallen For Someone”] Like Faith’s hits, that was written by another performer, one who like Les Vandyke had a variety of different names. John Askew was one of Larry Parnes’ stable of acts, and far from the most successful of them. He performed under the name Johnny Gentle, and didn’t have a great deal of success. Askew’s first single, “Wendy”, was unsuccessful, but it was unusual among British singles of the period in that it was written by Askew himself: [Excerpt: Johnny Gentle, “Wendy”] His second, though, made the top thirty: [Excerpt: Johnny Gentle, “Milk From the Coconut”] That would be the most success Johnny Gentle ever had, and his live shows were made up entirely of cover versions of other people’s records — when he toured Scotland in 1960, for example, his setlist consisted of two Buddy Holly songs, and one each by Elvis, Ricky Nelson, Clarence “Frogman” Henry, Eddie Cochran, and Jim Reeves. But he was still writing songs on that tour, and he was working on one in a hotel in Inverness – one that clearly referenced “What Do You Want?” with its girl who doesn’t want ermine and pearls – when he got stuck for a middle eight for the song, and mentioned it to the rhythm guitarist in his backing band. The guitarist came up with a new middle eight — referencing a line from a favourite song of his, “Money” by Barrett Strong. Askew took that new middle eight, though didn’t give the guitarist any songwriting credit — Askew was an established songwriter, after all. He gave the song to Faith, who recorded it in late 1961, and released it in 1962: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, “I’ve Just Fallen for Someone”] That was on his second album, Adam Faith (his first album had been called Adam), and on an EP taken from the album. But Askew thought it had more potential, and he recorded his own version, as Darren Young — by this point he’d decided that his old stage name was bringing him bad luck: [Excerpt: Darren Young, “I’ve Just Fallen for Someone”] That version wasn’t successful either, and the song remained completely obscure until the mid-1990s. It was at that point that Askew started telling the story of how the song had been written. And suddenly the song was of a lot more interest, at least to some people, because that rhythm guitarist who wrote that middle eight was John Lennon, and Gentle’s backing band on that tour was the Beatles. We’ve just heard the story of the first ever commercial recording of a John Lennon song. And we’ll pick up on that next week…

It didn't -- I got this from an unreliable source. Transcript Today we're going to take our last look at the pre-Beatles British pop world, and we're going to look at a record that's far more important in retrospect than it seemed at the time. We're going to look at Adam Faith, and a track he recorded called "I've Just Fallen For Someone": [Excerpt: Adam Faith, "I've Just Fallen For Someone"] As is normal for British rock and roll stars of the fifties, Adam Faith was a pseudonym, in this case for someone whose birth name is the subject of some debate -- the registrar seems to have got a bit confused -- but who was known as Terry Nelhams, a five-foot-five singer with high cheekbones, a strong chin, and a weak voice. The crucial change in Nelhams' life had come at the cinema, when he had watched a film called Rebel Without A Cause, starring James Dean. Amazingly, I think we managed to get through the whole 1950s without mentioning Dean, but he was a massive figure in youth pop culture of the fifties, and his presence still resonated for decades afterwards. Dean only starred in three films, and only one, East of Eden, was released in his lifetime -- he died in a car crash while the other two were in post-production -- but his performance in the posthumously-released Rebel Without A Cause seemed to many teenagers of the time to encapsulate everything that they wanted to be.  And Terry Nelhams decided he wanted to be James Dean -- why not? He bore a slight resemblance to him. Terry was going to go into showbiz. There was a problem, though -- in the Britain of the fifties, acting was something that was largely the purview of the middle classes, and Terry was firmly working class. He lived on a council estate and went to a secondary modern -- the schools which, in the fifties UK education system, were designed for people who were considered unlikely to succeed academically. There was no way he was going to end up studying at RADA or any of the other ways one got into acting. So he decided that rather than become a film star, he would become a director. That was much easier to get into than acting was, in the British film industry of the fifties -- you got a job as a tea boy at a film studio, worked your way up into the editing suite, became an editor, and then became a director. There was a steady career path, and you had job security at every stage -- and Terry Nelhams was someone who always looked after his money. So that's what he did -- he got a job at the Rank organisation as a messenger, then moved across to a company that made commercials for the new commercial TV network ITV, where he was an assistant editor. But while he was working at Rank, Nelhams had joined a skiffle group, the Worried Men -- named after the skiffle standard -- who had been formed by some of the younger employees. They became the resident band at the 2is when the Vipers Skiffle Group went out on tour. Despite all the stories about other people who had been discovered at the 2is on their first gig, the Worried Men ended up performing there for months before any kind of success. But then they did get a certain amount of fame, when Six-Five Special did its single most famous episode -- a live outside broadcast from the 2is itself. As the house band, the Worried Men got to perform a few songs on that show, and they also got a couple of tracks on two Decca compilations, "Rockin' at the 2is" and "Stars of the Six-Five Special": [Excerpt: The Worried Men, "This Little Light"] But neither album sold particularly well, and the Worried Men slowly drifted apart -- one member joined the Vipers, and Nelhams left before the group got in a couple of people we've already seen a few times in our story -- both Tony Meehan, who would go on to join the Shadows, and Brian Bennett, who ended up replacing him, passed through the group. But while Nelhams had quit the Worried Men -- as much as anything else because holding down a day job while he also played for four hours at the 2is every night was starting to affect his health -- Jack Good remembered him from that one Six-Five Special appearance, and thought that his looks, if not his singing ability, gave him the potential to be a star.  Good changed Nelhams' name to Adam Faith, and gave him a solo spot on Six-Five Special, as well as getting him a contract with HMV, one of several record labels owned by the large conglomerate EMI. His first single on HMV was "(Got A) Heartsick Feeling", backed by Geoff Love and his Orchestra: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, "(Got A) Heartsick Feeling"] That record was, of course, publicised on Six-Five Special, but the extent to which Faith's star potential was based on his looks rather than his singing ability can probably be seen from the fact that after his first appearance on the show he mimed rather than sing live, unlike all the other performers. The record was not a success, and nor was his second single, a cover of Jerry Lee Lewis' "High School Confidential": [Excerpt: Adam Faith, "High School Confidential"] Faith was unpopular, but he was able to give up his day job in the editing room to go on tour with a package based on Six-Five Special, at the bottom of the bill. And on that tour he became friendly with one of the other acts, John Barry, the trumpet playing leader of a group called the John Barry Seven. Barry had wanted to be an arranger for big bands, but when he realised that was no longer a viable career path, he'd formed his small group, who at the time were making records like "Zip Zip", which were fairly awful early British rock and roll efforts, but with slightly more interesting instrumental arrangements than the bulk of the work being put out in the UK at that point: [Excerpt: The John Barry Seven, "Zip Zip"] When Jack Good moved over to ITV to do Oh Boy!, he took Faith with him, but Faith's career was stagnating, and he quit performing altogether, and got another job as an assistant editor at Elstree studios, working on ATV shows like William Tell and The Invisible Man. But then Faith got a call from John Barry. The BBC were putting together a new show, Drumbeat, to compete with Oh Boy!, and they wanted their own star to compete with Cliff Richard and Marty Wilde. Would Adam be interested? He would -- though he was cautious enough after last time that he kept his day job. He'd bunk off work on Thursday and Friday afternoons to rehearse and record the show, and make the time up on Sundays. His workmates covered for him when he bunked off, and that worked until his boss' daughter mentioned to the boss that she'd seen Terry on the telly. He was told he had to choose between his pop career and a secure job, and he decided to make his pop career into a secure job, by getting a guaranteed six-month contract on Drumbeat before quitting Elstree. Drumbeat did little to make Faith's records sell any more, but it did lead to acting appearances -- as a biker in the police show No Hiding Place, and as a musician in a cheap exploitation film that was originally titled "Striptease Girl", before the censors made the film producers cut the nudity out (except for foreign markets) at which point it was retitled Beat Girl in the UK, and Wild For Kicks in the US. It was hardly Rebel Without a Cause, but it was definitely a step in the right direction. The music for that film was done by Adam's friend John Barry -- the very first film score Barry ever did: [Excerpt: The John Barry Seven, "Beat Girl"] But Adam Faith was still a pop star without a hit, and that was a situation that couldn't last. He was also temporarily without a record contract, but his new manager Eve Taylor managed to get him one with Parlophone, another EMI-owned label. And then his Drumbeat contacts came through in a big way.  One of the other acts who regularly appeared on the show was a group called the Raindrops, who featured a singer who had been born Yannis Skoradalides, but whose name had soon been anglicised to John Worsley. He'd then taken on the stage name Johnny Worth, which was the name he performed under, but he was also starting to write songs -- and because he was under contract as a recording artist, he took on yet another name as a songwriter to avoid any legal complications, so he was writing as Les Vandyke. It was under that name that he wrote a song called "What Do You Want?", which he played to Faith and Barry, his two colleagues on Drumbeat. They saw potential in it -- a lot of potential. And John Barry had an idea for an instrumental gimmick. We're now into 1959, and Buddy Holly's "It Doesn't Matter Any More" had just been a big posthumous hit for him: [Excerpt: Buddy Holly, "It Doesn't Matter Any More"] The pizzicato strings, in particular, had caught the ear of a lot of people, and Barry had already used them in the arrangement he'd written for "Be Mine", a record by the minor British pop star Lance Fortune: [Excerpt: Lance Fortune, "Be Mine"] That hadn't been released yet – it went top five when it eventually was – and Barry thought that it was worth repeating the trick, and so he came up with a pizzicato arrangement for the song Vandyke had written. And for a final touch, Faith received some vocal coaching from another Drumbeat performer, Roy Young, who taught him how to mangle his vowels so that he could sing in what was, to British ears, almost a convincing imitation of Buddy Holly's hiccupping vocal, particularly on the word "baby". The result was a huge hit, becoming the first number one single ever on the Parlophone label: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, "What Do You Want?"] Faith was now a real pop star at last. "What Do You Want?" was also one of the very rare British records to actually get an American cover version -- Bobby Vee, the Buddy Holly soundalike, picked up on the record and issued his own version of it: [Excerpt: Bobby Vee, "What Do You Want?"] That wasn't a success, but as Vee became a star he would occasionally record versions of other songs Faith recorded. Faith's second Parlophone single was another number one, and another song written by Les Vandyke and arranged by John Barry. It was very much "What Do You Want?" part two, but there was an interesting musical figure Barry came up with in the intro: [Excerpt: Adam Faith, "Poor Me"] In the 1990s, Barry used that as evidence in a court case over his claim to authorship of the piece of music with which he is most associated, a piece arranged and performed by Barry, but whose credited writer is Monty Norman. Compare and contrast "Poor Me": [Excerpt: Adam Faith, "Poor Me"] And the James Bond theme: [Excerpt: John Barry, "James Bond Theme"] For the next couple of years, Faith had a string of hits, mostly written by Vandyke and arranged by Barry, though no more number ones. By most metrics -- in hits, record sales, and fan appeal -- he was the second-biggest British pop star of the early sixties, after Cliff Richard.  He also became well known as a media personality, thanks in large part to his appearance on the interview show Face to Face.

If music be the food of love then the Bond franchise is well-fed. Norman, Barry, Martin, Hamlisch, Conti, Kamen, Serra, Arnold, Newman, and Zimmer. More men have scored Bond's films than have played the secret agent himself but which of them is the composer king? Which soundtrack sits atop this mountain of magnum opuses?

Vinte e cinco filmes. Essa é a marca que a franquia James Bond bateria com “007 — Sem tempo para morrer”, se tivesse sido lançado em abril de 2020. Com a pandemia do novo coronavírus, o filme foi adiado para novembro. Será a quinta vez, e provavelmente última, que Daniel Craig encarna o espião mais famoso do cinema. Antes dele, cinco outros atores deram vida às aventuras internacionais do agente, que começaram na década de 1950 a partir dos livros de Ian Fleming. Bond enfrentou dezenas de vilões, em especial russos, levantando a bandeira do anticomunismo no cinema num momento em que EUA e União Soviética rivalizavam na Guerra Fria. Contava, para isso, com gadgets, carros, roupas e bebidas caras. Flertava também com diversas mulheres que cruzavam seu caminho. Neste podcast, o Nexo conta a trajetória do espião e como ela se relaciona com a história do cinema e do mundo. Ao longo desses quase 60 anos, a franquia precisou se reinventar, especialmente na caracterização feminina e racial. Mas as mudanças extrapolam as demandas de representatividade. Marcos Kontze, jornalista e criador do site James Bond Brasil, há nove anos no ar; Raphaela Ximenes, jornalista, pesquisadora e crítica de cinema membro do coletivo Elvira de mulheres críticas; e Roberto Sadovski, jornalista e crítico de cinema do site Uol, ajudam a fazer esse resgate histórico. // Filmes citados Filmes da franquia 007 “007 — Nunca mais outra vez” (Irvin Kershner, 1983) “Tom Jones” (Tony Richardson, 1963) “A hard day’s night” (Richard Lester, 1964) “A identidade Bourne” (Doug Liman, 2002) “Batman begins” (Christopher Nolan, 2005) “Austin Powers” (Jay Roach, 1997) // Músicas do programa Dr. No’s theme — Monty Norman (trilha “Dr. No”) James Bond theme — Monty Norman (trilha “Dr. No”) Dr. No’s fantasy — Monty Norman (trilha “Dr. No”) Dum di-di dum dum — Monty Norman Misirlou — Dick Dale and the Del-Tones Skyfall — Adele (trilha “Skyfall”) No time to die — Billie Eilish (trilha “Sem tempo para morrer”) Thunderball — Tom Jones (trilha “007 contra a chantagem atômica”) Live and let die — Wings (trilha “Com 007 viva e deixe morrer”) Die another day — Madonna (trilha “Um novo dia para morrer”) The Living Daylights — A-ha (trilha “007 Marcado para morte”) Goldfinger — Shirley Bassey (trilha “Goldfinger”) Diamonds are forever — Shirley Bassey (trilha “Diamantes são eternos”) Fatal Weakness — Eric Serra (trilha “Goldeneye”) Another way to die — Alicia Keys e Jack White (trilha “Quantum of Solace”) A hard day’s night — The Beatles (trilha “A hard day’s night”) Theme from Shaft — Isaac Hayes (trilha “Shaft”) Terminator 2 Theme — Brad Fiedel (trilha “Exterminador do futuro 2”) Extreme Ways — Moby (trilha “Identidade Bourne”) // Referências teóricas “Why does James Bond sound like James Bond”, Dan Golding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL31rRUMRUY International Journal of James Bond Studies https://jamesbondstudies.ac.uk/articles “Beyond Bond: Spies in Fiction and Film”, Wesley Britton https://bit.ly/2Yglugh “The Case of Mr. Fleming”, Bernard Bergonzi, à revista The Twentieth Century https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/from-the-archive-blog/2012/oct/01/ian-fleming-james-bond-1958-archive “Hollywood Cinema: An Introduction”, Ian Craven e Richard Maltby https://books.google.com.br/books/about/Hollywood_Cinema.html?id=EGgengEACAAJ&source=kp_cover&redir_esc=y “Sex, sadism and snobbery”, Paul Johnson, à revista New Statesman: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/sarah-churchwell-the-enduring-thrill-of-sex-sadism-and-snobbery-835155.html “Shaken Not Stirred: The Cold War Politics of James Bond, From Novel to Film”, Noah Jacoby Lewis https://ojs.lib.uwo.ca/index.php/lajur/article/download/7267/5946/

Judith Finell - Judith Finell, Music Service Season 2/ Episode 8 You probably didn't watch, but on a Saturday night in April of 1983, "The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Fifteen Years Later Affair," aired on NBC. Trust me on this; it was a classic of 1980s television - paunchy middle-aged heroes, central casting villains, backlot sets, stock footage explosions - The 12-year-old me could not get enough. Our intrepid heroes even cross paths with a fellow spy - a suave Brit, wearing a dashing tux, driving an Aston Martin (complete with the license plate, "JB"). His car featured cool gadgets, he had a starlet on his arm, and there was that memorable James Bond theme. "James Bond!!! They got James Bond - Cool" The 12 year old me was - again - thrilled out of his mind. The thing is, "they" didn't, "get" James Bond. They got an actor (admittedly, the actor happened to be George Lazenby, reprising his role as James Bond, so there wasn't much question), they got an Aston Martin, they even got the James Bond theme (sort of). All the clues were there, I was supposed to think it was James Bond, but they never once uttered the words, "James" or "Bond." The music was the giveaway, it sounded "Bondian," it was almost the famous Monty Norman theme from the 1960s, but it just wasn't. The ersatz, "NBC Saturday Night Movie" music came right up to the edge of being James Bond but was afraid to jump. That's the subject of this podcast. A few weeks back we pushed our podcast with Judith Finell, Judith was the lead musicologist in the "Blurred Lines" case involving Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and the Marvin Gaye State Estate. This episode is part of 2 of that interview. When we finished discussing the subtler points of copyright and plagiarism we ended delving into another area of Judith's expertise. "Sound-Alikes." Frankly, since that Saturday Night in 1983, I've always been fascinated by these, "almost" songs. TV throughout the 1980s and 1990s were full of them. Songs where it was clear the producers wanted a top 10 hit but also apparently didn't want to pay top ten prices. So what does it take to come right up to the edge in music? How can you evoke the James Bond theme, without paying James Bond Prices? We also discuss Stairway to Heaven, the sound the Transporter makes in Star Trek, the Mission Impossible theme, and a little 45 record McDonald's gave away in the 1990s.

It's time for an extra-long episode as Kirk answers your questions about Phil Collins drum solos, musical Wilhelm screams, odd time signatures, Beatles instrumentation, drop-tuned guitars, Bond music, and much more.
