The songs with no words

Fish · Jun 7th, 2003, 04:54 PM

Three of the Bond films have theme songs which do not have the name of the film in them, Dr.No, OHMSS, and Octopussy are the films.

They do have theme songs but like the other 17 films they dont mention the film name in the song.

If you could write a song to these films that did include the film name, how would it go?

You forgot The Spy Who Loved Me. Its Nobody does it better

But the words 'the spy who loved me' are in the lyrics.

I'm coming up with SOMETHING for Dr No but put it this way, I don't want to embarrass myself

003 · Jun 8th, 2003, 09:26 AM

I think they should have gone back to one with no words for bond 20 it would make it like old times

Matt G · Jun 8th, 2003, 10:01 AM

OK, I've thought up a decent first two verses for Dr No:

Hiding out in paradise
Think the place looks clean then think twice
Who is Dr No?

An agent is on his tail
He knows he can not fail
But who is Dr No?

Cool you will have to go back to 1962 and suggest that

did that article about the guy who made the dvds say they were remaking old ones? if so, you can do dr. no

Hey! Not bad! It sure beats the lyrics from Monty Norman's song that he cribbed "The James Bond Theme" from!!

Matt G · Jun 8th, 2003, 04:43 PM

Which are?

Fish · Jun 9th, 2003, 05:34 PM

I just put this one together for a verse of a theme for OHMSS, its not much but at least it rhyms!!!

For a tune to go wiht it, maybe a tune SIMMILAR to surrneder from TND, not an exact copy but something close to it, I think the owrds fit in slightly!

This man has a misison,
On which he can kill,
One pull of the trigger,
One slip of a pill,
This one secret service,
He has to fulfill.

Maxwell · Jun 9th, 2003, 07:55 PM

I like Fish's lyrics!

Matt,
Believe it or not, here are the lyrics that Norman wrote (They come from a song from his musical "A House for Mr. Biswas," and he sings them in the "Inside Dr. No" documentary on the Dr. No DVD

I-i was born
with this unlucky sneeze
And what is wo-orse
I came into the world the wrong way 'round...

God's honest truth. It's on the DVD. Norman sings it.

Nothing could be worse. Truly.

003 · Jun 9th, 2003, 10:33 PM

Not to sure why people want to add words to the song anyway I think it gives it a classic feel to it

Maxwell · Jun 9th, 2003, 11:51 PM

And actually, the main titles for Dr. No did have lyrics to it..."Three Blind Mice.."appeared at the end.

Matt G · Jun 10th, 2003, 06:55 AM

Fish: Sounds good

Maxwell: Did Barry Norman have any 'habits' that we should know about?
