    One of my favourite Bond songs isn't even a title track and even plays as source music on the villains walkman as he throws exploding milk bottles. This is a corking track written by John Barry and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, apparantly Barry & Hynde got on very well unlike Barry's well publicised spat with title singers of THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS a~ha

    WHERE HAS EVERYBODY GONE


    I've been listening to the expanded Barry album a lot recently. Do you know if it's true what Clemmensen of Filmtracks stated? He said that Barry was actually trying to get this song into the title sequence instead of the a-ha thing. Is that true?


    That's the first I've heard of it. I'd like to know who/what Clemmensen's sources were? I do remember a tabloid newspaper back in the day saying that a~ha's song was thrown out and that The Pretenders were doing a new one ( no mention of John Barry but hey, were talking tabloid newspapers rolleyes ), unless proven otherwise I'd take that info with a bit of salt.

    One of my favourite songs and it's been recorded by a multitude of artists and has featured in multiple films, THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY ( Miles Davis version ) and MOULIN ROUGE ( David Bowie & Massive Attack ) among them

    NATURE BOY

    Anyone know the film it was originally written for? You shouldn't need a Quantum Leap in thought to get there. wink

    No I won't do list my favorite including countless Disney/other animated movie songs (that will bore me as well tongue ), but there are several good ones I want to share.

    And the first one is not from an animated movie.

    A song from a Japanese movie "Poppoya (railway man)", written by Ryuichi Sakamoto and sung by his daughter Miu.

    Japanese version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMCID4I9Gnw
    English version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npJ5mamoHhE

    Actually I haven't seen this movie but love the song.

    Miya, did you read my Karaoke thread?

    Lots and lots of Disney songs there that I've now nailed for future performances. Maybe you could recommend some to me?
    I am extremely serious.

    Yes, both are by Sakamoto Miu. Actually those lyrics are very different, though. (I guess the English version was recorded for her album, not the movie)

    Anyone already mentioned "Somewhere in My Memory" from Home Alone? I love that song. Even when it's out of season. christmas_drunk

    I find it interesting how the generation gap shows with some of the songs I thought of such as Somewhere Over the Rainbow, The Man That Got Away, and As Time Goes By; all standards for me.

    listen to more classical music!

    I didn't mean to infer anything. I'm glad that you like the songs that I do. Another favorite are some of the Gershwin songs from Girl Crazy.
