They were drinking' from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain."

My number 1, of course it is. It never fails.

Happy James Bond day to you all. Many thanks to @musicloves.bsky.social for hosting.

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

An ideal opportunity to enjoy this short film from 1965, which shows Buster still had it:

2: ' On Her Majesty's Secret Service' - John Barry

John Barry takes no prisoners. Brass and strings and synths and guitars and drums all working together to beautiful perfection. The Aston Martin DB5 of Bond themes.

My favourite Bond film.

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.

3: 'We Have All The Time In The World' - Louis Armstrong

Not just one of the Bond related songs; one of the best songs ever, period.

Louis Armstrong, John Barry, Hal David. Sheer class.

Hard to believe it was not a hit at the time of the film's release.

Greta Thunberg MUST get the Nobel Peace Prize.

Imagine how much Donald Trump and Netanyahu would rage.

😂

Thank you so much for this James. This is going to get a fair few plays.

5: 'Live And Let Die'

Again, another piece of music that just seemed impossibly exciting when I was young. Fast bits, slushy bits, odd bits and unparalleled excitement.

Incredible that McCartney was up for this.

Can't promise, but hoping I will be around for some dark dancing.

1: 'I Believe'

I saw the Green tour on the day of my 20th birthday. One of the best nights of my life.

This song has long been a personal favourite. Full of energy, fun, wordplay, jangly guitars and joy.

What a great challenge this has been. Thank you all.

6: 'You Only Live Twice' - Nancy Sinatra

I did a Nancy Sinatra post the other day for another challenge and it unexpectedly got a crazy number of likes.
Let's see if there's as much love for this one.

One of John Barry's best productions.

youtu.be/5H-vx87Arq8?...

Yes, it is.

Yes, I'd not thought of that, but you're right...they must have seen the original video.
