Chris Cornell, Billie Eilish & Nancy Sinatra: The Music of James Bond
Description
The name’s Spaghetti. Tape Spaghetti.
This week, Scott and Blake go undercover into the glamorous, brassy, and occasionally super weird world of James Bond music.
After Monty Norman’s jazzy/surfy 1962 theme became the sonic blueprint for every espionage movie ever, each successive Bond theme played a pivotal role in shaping one of the world’s biggest franchises.
Decade over decade, a chronological hotlist of pop stars participated – and some, including Johnny Cash and Alice Cooper, just missed the cut. Tune in to find out how Shirley Bassey nearly blacked out belting “Goldfinger,” why “Live and Let Die” might be ten songs stitched into one, and how Adele’s “Skyfall” returned the canon to epic prestige.
Best listened to in an Aston Martin while wearing a tux.
