Kingston Calypso

I thought I would upload a song tonight, a summery song. I have actually uploaded it before, but the video disappeared from YouTube, beside this is the whole song. It is a song that obsess me from time to time, from the very first Bond movie. It is about three blinde mice, a pussycat and a rat, but in fact the three blind mice are three killers passing as blind men, the pussycat is James Bond and by proxy the British Empire, and the rat is of course the evil Dr. Julius No. Immortal Joseph Wiseman. But in the end, it is such a beautiful atmospheric song called Kingston Calypso. Which I hope you enjoy.

Dr No and his three deadly mice

It's sunny, it's hot and I have no idea what to blog about. I want to 1)have a job (it's inhuman to jobhunt on such a nice day) and 2)go on holiday. I want to go to go and take a dip in a pool.
Anyway, ever watched Dr No? The intro is famous for the gunbarrel sequence and for the very first use of the James Bond theme, but there is more to see: the way the action starts from the credit sequence is brilliant, and so is the Kingston Calypso song, innocent enough the first time you hear it, but deliciously ominous you pay attetion to the lyrics. You can find the complete song here (I don't like much of the rest of the site, but to find James Bond music it's very good. You have the introduction of Dr No down here, with gunbarrel and the three blind mice in question:



What a way to start a movie, and to kick off a franchise!
