Nancy Sinatra, "You Only Live Twice" from Best of Bond… James Bond 50th Anniversary Collection (The Last Angry Man)
CORRECTION: Robbie Williams's "Millennium" does not, in fact sample "You Only Live Twice" as I erroneously wrote on Saturday, 18 November. Instead, the songwriters & producers of "Millennium" wrote their own legally distinct pastiche of "You Only Live Twice," so as not to have to pay the royalty fees associated with sampling another musician's work. Let it never be said that we here at The Secret Base are not willing to raise our hand & admit our mistakes.
Commentary: I cannot defend my love for the 007 franchise—both the long-running movie series & the original source novels—which in so many ways, sex & violence prominent among them, runs absolutely counter to my faith, human dignity, & the holiness to which every one of us is called. Yet, & please do not misunderstand me, I am not claiming my feelings as incontrovertible facts, I've never felt my heart convicted to forswear Bond, as I've felt myself called to renounce so many others things. I'm still figuring out how the Lord wants me to square that circle. Maybe when my heart is properly disposed He'll show me how He wants me to redeem 007? Anything is possible.
