Hello and welcome to
Friday Film Festival – the
program where we look at
films – old and new.

37.

Today we’re talking about
James Bond films and the
incredibly [in’kredibli]
successful [sʌk’sesful]
music associated with
them.

38.

The English writer, Ian
Fleming created the
character of James Bond in
1952.

39.

Bond is a spy – also known
double oh seven – who
works for the British Secret
Service and saves the world
from various enemies or
“baddies”

40.

The first Bond film was in
1962 and there’re now 22
films of the Bond books.

41.

Different actors star in the
role of Bond including
Daniel Craig, Pierce
Brosnan and, of course, the
first one, Sean [ʃo:n] Connery
– my personal favorite

42.

The films are probably one
of the most successful series
of films ever, earning over
12 billion dollars

43.

It’s not only the films,
however, which are popular,
but also the theme songs,
connected with the films

44.

Including one of the most
recent, Another Way to Die
by Jack White and Alicia
Keys for the film “Quantum
of Solace”

I: Welcome, Tony
T: Hello, great to be here
I: So we know that the
James Bond films are
incredibly successful

86.

I: But as I said, the theme
songs are hugely popular,
too. I mentioned Another
Way to Die. Can you tell us
a bit about that one?

87.

T: Yeah, that’s right.
Another Way to Die is from
the film Quantum of Solace.
It came out in 2008 and was
really popular

88.

I: It’s a duet, isn’t it?
T: Yes, it’s a duet by Alicia
Keys and Jack White - the
lead singer of the White
Stripes

89.

T: Actually it’s the first duet
used for a Bond theme song –
all the others are solos, with
just one singer. I think it
appealed to young people –
although some people didn’t
like it at first

90.

T: The words of the song
are great. Personally I loved
it.
I: Yes, the lyrics [liriks] are
really good and have a
strong message

91.

I: And I think Alicia Keys is
very cool. I love that song.
Let’s hear a bit of it….great
song! So, when was the first
famous Bond theme song?

92.

T. Well, the first Bond film
Dr. No and the second one
actually, From Russia with
Love, had great
soundtracks. They had
music obviously.

93.

T. But they didn’t have a
theme song connected with
them. Goldfinger was the
first big song
I: That’s right. Goldfinger

94.

T: When Goldfinger came
out in 1964 the real
connection between film
and theme song started.

95.

T: After that I suppose the
public expected a great theme
song in every film
I: Yes, that was a great film.
And Shirley Bassey made
Goldfinger into a classic song,
too

96.

T: Yes, she’s an amazing
singer. That song started her
career and she became and
international star
immediately.

97.

T: It wasn’t Bassey’s only
Bond song either
I: Oh, yes, that’s true. How
many did she sing?

98.

T: She sang 3 Bond songs
altogether – the only singer
to do more than one
I: Really?

99.

T: Yes, she sang another
classic song,
Diamonds are Forever in
1971, and then, eight years
later, The Moonraker although
that one wasn’t very successful

100.

T: But it’s not just Shirley
Bassey. What’s good about
Bond is that there’re different
singers and different styles for
each film. Many of the songs
really are classics…..

101.

I: Tell us about some of the
other successful ones
T: Well, yes, many Bond films
got to the top of the charts in
different countries

102.

T: But A View to a Kill by
Duran Duran is the only Bond
song actually to be number
1on the Billboard Hot 100
chart

103.

I: The Only Number One? A
View to a Kill really? That’s
interesting
T: There’re some other real
classics which did really well

104.

T: In the 1970s there were 2
great Bond songs…first Live
and Let Die by Paul
McCartney and Wings, in
1973. Then Nobody Does it
Better by Carly Simon, in 1977

105.

I: And Another Way to Die
that we talked about
earlier…Jack White and
Alicia Keys had a huge
success with that one

106.

T: Yes, that was one of my
personal favorites
I: Not all Bond songs were
hits though, were they?
There have been some flops,
too

107.

T: Yes, there was a very
mixed reaction to
Madonna’s Die Another
Day when it came out in
2002. It wasn’t a complete
flop

108.

T: Yes But strangely it got
awards for being the best
song and also the worst!
I: I liked that one actually. It
had a really catchy chorus

113.

I: It’s a duet, isn’t it?
T: Yes, it’s a duet by Alicia
Keys and Jack White - the
lead singer of the White
Stripes

114.

Alicia Keys and Jack
White
