Budding Jimmy B Fan?
Who's funeral is this?
Yours...I think we have a budding Jimmy B fan living with us. Personally I'm a bigger fan of the older Bonds rather than the newer ones having lost my way with Pierce Brosnan's era. OK, I'm like a lot of Bond "fans", whereby the best bond is the one they grew up with. For me that was Roger Moore, but I do prefer the previous, even if I don't agree with Sir Sean's politics.
So what has Roger Moore's influence got that can tie in:
- Father's Day
- Gene Hunt
- Wings
- Jimmy B
- Mike Myers
Now there's a list of things to fry your noodle. But our boy managed the association!
Father's Day
Yesterday was Father's Day (so a happy father's day to dads out there). The timing of the incident was rooted into the reason it came about in the first place. It is all tied in with the Father's Day present I got from my boy.
Gene Hunt
1973, a DCI in Manchester who is far from politically correct. Sam Tyler's guv'nor. Sam who had been in a car accident in 2006 and woken up in 1973. Yes, the hit BBC show Life on Mars. This was my present - the soundtrack to Life on Mars. So far so good?
Wings
At the end of each episode there was a different track played while the credits rolled, as well as tracks played in among the episode. Live and Let Die, of Paul McCartney & Wings creation, was one track.
Jimmy B
And the aforementioned track was also the title track from the Jimmy B film bearing the same name. Right, sorted. Do you see it now? So did my boy.
Mike Myers
Well, not exactly. That wasn't quite the film he associated, but it's the one I did. And he will. Until then, we get to Mike Myers how exactly?
As this track started on the car's CD player, we heard from the back:
Shrek, sad
Eh? Ahh, yes, Shrek the Third - the opening bars to Live and Let Die is used early on in the film when the King is dying. "Shrek, sad". Of course, why couldn't I link that?
Because I haven't seen "Baby Shrek" a million times over the last week, that's why!
Both MOTS and I were really impressed with the association, far more than my poor attempt at trying to link everything here. Already he's outdoing me, and I really don't mind - in fact I'm so pleased.
And that Father's Day present was priceless!
