Song of the Day: The James Bond Theme, performed by The BBC Concert Orchestra under Keith Lockhart

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

One hundred and eleven years ago today, Albert R. Broccoli was born in New Your City.

Broccoli would eventually enter the film business, going from working as an assistant director with Howard Hughes to eventually become a very successful and highly respected film producer.  Today, Broccoli is best-known for producing the James Bond films.  Though Broccoli passed away in 1996, his daughter, Barbara, has continued to co-produce the films in the years since his death.  In short, if not for Albert Broccoli, James Bond probably never would have become a film icon and that would have been a tragedy.

In honor of his birthday, we present to you a song of the day!  In the clip below, The BBC Concert Orchestra performs Monty Norman’s iconic James Bond theme music.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Spice Up Your Life by Spice Girls (1997, dir by Marcus Nispel)

Are you tired?

Are you bored?

Are you stuck in a go-no where life?

Are you living in a dystopian future that was apparently inspired by Blade Runner?

Well, don’t worry.  Spice Girls are here!

One thing that I like about the Spice Girls is that you could always sing along to their songs.  The other thing I like about them is that, regardless of how simple their music may have been, their music videos were almost always ludicrously overproduced.  That’s the case here, where Spice Up Your Life is transformed into an anthem for revolution.

Spice Up Your Life was directed by Marcus Nispel, who has subsequently directed a few features film that I didn’t care much for.

For the record, even under lockdown, I’m still dancing.

Of course,  now, I have to either go do it in the backyard or clear some space in the living room.  But that’s okay.  It’s not important where you dance.  Instead, it’s just important that you do it.
