I was just researching Die Another Day on the net. And Paul McCartney came up. I thought "that's interesting".

Now Paul (along with Wings) did that great song Live And Let Die. Here's where it gets trippy.

Look at his album All The Best released in 1987.

Now here's the discography;
Band On The Run - Jet - Ebony And Ivory - Listen To What The Man Said - No More Lonely Nights - Silly Love Songs - Let 'Em In - Say Say Say - Live And Let Die - Another Day - C Moon - Junior's Farm - Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey - Coming Up - Goodnight Tonight - With A Little Luck - My Love

Notice anything?

Band On The Run - Jet - Ebony And Ivory - Listen To What The Man Said - No More Lonely Nights - Silly Love Songs - Let 'Em In - Say Say Say - Live And Let Die - Another Day - C Moon - Junior's Farm - Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey - Coming Up - Goodnight Tonight - With A Little Luck - My Love

Live And Let Die is follwed by Another Day! So it makes Live And Let Die Another Day or Die Another Day!

Then to really get your mind playing is C Moon (the song after). Which is an abbreviated version of Colonel Moon.

It's almost as bad as the Paul McCartney is dead theory, however, I thought it to be an amazing coincidence!

Don't take any offence by my laughing. I laugh at a lot of stuff. I was on a ride at one of the theme parks in Queensland, Australia; they take you up 38 stories and drop you freefall all the way down (aptly titled the Giant Drop). I thought I was going to die, and I laughed all the way down :)

I would make the perfect Bond girl because I am smart, attractive, and I can sing the title song!


My curiosity towards the physical appearance of Xenobia grows!

Happy birthday, Blue Eyes. Now for your present, just imagine Halle Berry singing that song that Xenobia did while coming out of a huge cake. Oh yeah. ;-)


HB wishes she could sing as well I could. Which brings up an interesting point: I would make the perfect Bond girl because I am smart, attractive, and I can sing the title song!

Great BlueEyes-Fan-Music there; Xenobia, we should ask Renard to make the music-video for it. Anyway's again, Happy Birthday Dan, and well spotted coincidence. :)


Yeah...I am digging this idea...a montage of all the great posts and articles!

I Know you will never belive me, but I listened to that Mc Cartney best of album (All the best, the title) this wednesday morning as somebody mentioned in an early post!!!
I didn't know about the title until later in the day when I logged into the net!!!
That is amazingly spooky and I'm not lying!!!

Yes it appears so :) Thank you everyone I do appreciate it :) And Xenobia, thanks for the lyrics. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time ;)


Laughed? You laughed? You weren't supposed to laugh! ;-)

Glad you liked it.

Yeah, I noticed that this morning, actually. The strange thing is, I was listening to that album this morning when I read the news. Isn't that bizarre?

I'm writing an article about the Beatle/Bond connections -- there are A LOT and this is definately one to add to the list.

"All The Best" is a fun album -- it's more for the hardcore fan then the casual fan though, if you ask me. It's certianly not the best of Macca's work and WingSpan isn't that great either.

Incidently, "all the best" is how McCartney concludes his letters/emails (or sometimes "Cheers!") -- at least that's what he wrote on the thing I got from him.

Regardless, way to go Daniel and Happy Birthday!

Another interesting McCartney coincidence:

Do Do - Do Do - Do Dum - Do Dum
You say it's your birthday
Do Do - Do Do - Do Dum - Do Dum
It's my DAD's birthday, too.

That's what I love about this site and being a Bond fan. Nothing is too obscure and we can't get enough of it. Nice call, Blue Eyes, and happy birthday.

Yes 19 this year! Married at 19! Gosh, that seems young where I am in life right now. Maybe you were more matured :) I'm just trying to live right now. And boy that's hard enough! Mind you I've managed (somehow!) to have the same partner for over two and a half years now.

And yes, I rang Michael Wilson yesterday and thanked him for the title. It was most kind of him. He said there were 'issues' with calling it Blue Eyes. C'est la vie ;D

I guess it is fair to say that PMcC loves James Bond, yeah, yeah, yeah. ;-)

And speaking of loving folks, here's a little song in honor of the birthday boy.

Nobody does it better
Makes feel sad for rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
As a webmaster, you're the best

There I was a looking
And somehow I found you
I was thrilled by your
amazing site
It keeps me from running
And I'll keep coming
How'd learn to do the things you do.

And nobody does it better
Not even if anyone thinks they could
Nobody does it as well as you
Blue Eyes you're the best

The way that the forums run
Whenever the fans are there
That's the magic that comes
From inside you
And we'll still be here
Right through the year
To wish you joy in the next year

Nobody does it better
Makes feel sad for the rest
Nobody does half as a good as you
Daniel darling, you are always the best.

Happy birthday and many more.

-- Xen

The good lady Mrs Jim says Happy Birthday(19th?)

The slightly less good Jim says he got married at 19 and [at this point Mrs Jim starts frowning and begins to hit Jim o'er the noddle]

Happy Birthday and thanks for the website.

My God, I've never really noticed that. I have the CD somewhere in my collection. On Wingspan though the coincidence isn't there. :) Neat find, Daniel!

It takes a strong man to laugh in the face of death! :-)

As for me...well you just might get your chance my friend. I am going to an early St. Patrick's Day party on the evening of the fifteenth of March. In honour of one of Ireland's greatest exports, I am wearing my bona fide, sold on ebay by a cast member who snagged the extras, "Remington Steele" sweater. If anyone wants to see how this looks, send me a private message with your email addy.
