Drax’s Chopin

Michael Lonsdale as Huge Drax and Roger Moore as James Bond in Moonraker (1979)

Ever wondered what the name of the song that Drax plays on his Steinway the first time he meets 007? It’s Frederic Chopin‘s “Prelude No. 15 (Raindrop)”.

Check out a full performance of the piece by world-reknown Chinese pianist Yi Lundi below:

The Animals – “Boom Boom” from Skyfall

Skyfall‘s pivotal shootout scene begins with the villain Silva catching up with Bond at 007’s boyhood abode. With machine guns loaded and ready to fight, Silva and his henchmen blare the above blues song by The Animals, Boom Boom (it’s actually a cover of the John Lee Hooker classic).

Great tune!

Ladies and gentlemen….Carly Simon

Nobody Does It Better is my favorite James Bond theme of all time…and this performance is top notch!

Even 90’s rappers are James Bond fans
