Casino Royale Herb Alpert Redub

[DarkAngel182]

Actually, this does kind of work quite well.

[maddogtannen1966]

Elevator song ? ? ! ! Your ignorant of any decent music at all ! ! Go take music appreciation again......How about Mozart ? Elevator music too ? ?

[1517CalvinMartin]

Very clever!

[sekahkiller]

haha. Today this looks like an elevator song.

[jimbyjune]

Absolutely brilliant! Great job! I think most of us are missing the humour in today's James Bond movies. This tune would have set the perfect mood. Thanks for posting!

[ThePicklepirate]

Sean Connery forever!

[nbelsky]

Dalton's Bond was exactly what Fleming was thinking when he created the character.

[semipro031]

The original CS was a TV show in the 50's. James Bond was "Jimmy Bond." Great music. Love the TJB.

[felixlinquist]

As strange as it seems, this music actually goes with this....

[lcolby11]

Back in the 60s people used to test their stereos using this Alpert LP movie theme because of the quality.

[Frostbyte380]

Very well put together. I like both soundtracks, but this is the first and only classic one!

[mfigueroa2602]

the movie was a parody, very well done, ¡including a Woody Allen James Bond! the music is from Burt Bacharach

[EvilDoctor1]

This actually works. Not all the beats of the music correspond to the the animation but the fact that most of the do is quite amusing...

[violinmerchant]

thats one gritty reboot

[N9BJJ]

Why the hell didn't they re-use this soundtrack. Another classic example of these bloody film executives that think they know better than anybody else. That would have made the film - it would have been brilliant.

[FoxPlant2006]

Sean Connery was fun to watch. So was Roger Moore. Bond is supposed to be cool and sophisticated. That described Niven.

[gschultz9]

That's hilarious!  What a great idea. Always loved this song!

[FoxPlant2006]

It works. And David Niven was a lot more fun to watch as Bond.

[ShakinJonny]

@FoxPlant2006 And you think FUN is what James Bond is supposed to be???

[mikeyoungish]

Fantastic number, I used this track many times to lead up to news or weather bulletins when working for pirate radio stations, wow such happy times

[tubian323]

I like the old Casino Royale theme, but I think the upbeat tone of it is inappropriate for the Intro of this movie with figures being blown away and bleeding on the floor.

[moolhuysen]

@tubian323 In the old movie, spies were falling like flies as well (though always in a humorous way)

[AmazGraz]

I wish the quality of the hi-fi was deeper and wider. This is good stuff. It should be heard.

[SUAZ64]

Hey! This theme song actually works for the new movie! LOL!

[mal35m]

I love it. I think they should do the rest of the film with Herb Alpert music. How about Tijuana Taxi for the chase scene and taste of honey for the love scenes. Maybe Mexican shuffle for the fight scenes LOL.

[Geddajunior]

WOW! I LOVE this old version of Casino Royale....fukin GREAT!

[RegencyRoyale]

But to Take Command of an Empire....Not a very great French Horn player Here!.Themes vs Fight!...(but wouldn't oui fight for Herb Albert!)...so cool..!

[Sismiques]

Hes got em on the run with guns and knives!

[Saternalius]

@Sismiques We're fighting for our lives!

[Sismiques]

@Sismiques

Maybe it was they got em,anyways not toe important.

[WormYourHonor64]

I wonder if they made these titles for this song, then changed their mind. Hmm.

[icre8havoc2]

they should have used it, and your little "experiment" proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. nice!

[Kenebutch]

My Favourite James Bond Theme Song. They should of used it!

[Hunternet7]

I don't wanna fish..

[squanto2]

Great music. When I was 9 or 10 (1968-1969) I listened to this piece OVER AND OVER. Still fresh!

[ArturoVandelay]

Netflix has the original to play on your TV. Has some pretty good music all the way through. I do like the Jack White theme as well.

[HunterMann]

always a great tune, such a cool sound: the unison trumpets.... TJB was the coolest!

[Oestba]

Yeah!!! Now This Is What I'm Talking About!!! Good On YA!!! This is the way it should have been done!!!

[felixlinquist]

Blasphamy!

[hardcopyy]

I first saw this movie in Germany as a little kid haven't been...........??

[rickram1961]

This is fantastic! Wish they would have used this instrumental opening!

[Hunternet7]

GOOD BYE,

[em23]

LOL!

[Firelogger]

This actually works well.

[cassidy322]

This is by far the BEST soundtrack...........should have reused it!

[lawnboy62]

The first Casino Royale is a classic. Not to take anything away from Daniel Craig. We miss you Peter.........

[NyeTunes]

*Second* Casino Royale, sir! (Daniel Craig's was actually the remake of a remake.)

[multiph]

@NyeTunes - of course it is debatable whether TV movies from the 50's (made by Americans) can be counted as a proper (ie. British) Bond movie ;)

[fedokosmokrator]

No! The song at the end of the original Casino Royale would be better here!

[32newspaper]

Who cares? It still is good.

[bowsprite]

ahhh, they don't make 'em like they used to.

so campy yet classy, goofy yet exquisite...

[ACNC1]

this song always makes me happy

[pdogone1]

not the odd couple theme

[MrFunkyfool]

This is the music from the Odd cupple

[mcqueen5]

Fabulous and really swinging Baby!!

[hawkeyepierce123]

Loved it!

[itotallygiveup]

Works for me !!

[thespawnof66]

The difference between the lighthearted music and the intense action is just a bit too strange for my tastes. I do like that song though, it's very much in the spirit of the old Tijuana Brass.

[ordainedduke]

Try the music from "whats new pussycat"

[scootwhoman]

Nice job! Good copy of the song.

[SRAussie65]

How good is this !!! Loved the original Casino Royale. This is real music!! Brings back so many childhood memories.

[potcwe2]

WOW so long since I heard this sent chills down my spine

[Disneyfan73]

lol the saturday night live skit with Will Forte

[joecrewdog]

Love it!! NOW try it with the classic Bond intro and the go with this?!

[jellis4465]

Got this as my ringtone.

[jimjam69]

Lol cool stuff...i love this song....thanx.

[napoleonbonarparte]

...and the real bond is here.

Wasnt O'Toole in the original? Good heavens it had a sensationable cast if he was. Niven, Sellers, Ursula, Allen, Wells and O'Toole! I like Craig, but thats a team and a half!  Have I missed anyone out?

[BigLisaFan]

George Raft and Jean-Paul Belmondo were also in the spoof Casino Royale but I don't think Peter O'Toole was.

[napoleonbonarparte]

I am not sure myself, but on I think he may have been one of the pipers in the Le Chieffre scene near the end, mind you its been a few years since I have seen it. Not sure, but I think he has something to do with Richard Burton.

[belianis]

In the pipers' scene, Peter O'Toole approaches Sellers, and asks him if he is Richard Burton. Sellers replies: No, I'm Peter O'Toole, and O'Toole then tells him that he is the finest man that ever lived.

[linowilly]

you are correct sir!

[ebenezerhoary]

This vid works really well! Nothing wrong with the new song- but this tune has always been a favourite of mine- however, the new Casino Royale movie beats the old one, hands down, I'll give it that!

[BThwaithe]

I think this was the only movie Woody Allen appeared in that wasn't one of his own films.

[mvp822]

No, he appeared opposite Bette Midler in "Scenes from a Mall," which was a 1991 Paul Mazursky film.

[JoeyDaytona]

Yeah, my dad would play this LP when he was drunk...

[Venkman007]

Cant hear this without picturing Will Forte dancing around like an idiot. LOL.

[linowilly]

and Payton Manning

[dirtydodger]

James Bond movies fucking suck. Herb and tjb rule.

[guyinbrainerd]

i agree one of the best Bond Themes

[weenyone]

Not really a bond theme in the traditional sense maybe an anti theme.

[shir1999]

This was the theme for the original Casino Royal

[weenyone]

You missing my point. The original film is a parody of a James Bond fllm and the music is very different to say Gold Finger or Thunderball

[icre8havoc2]

love it!

[kcmt01]

The best Bond theme ever.

[SoldierAlexandra]

nice vid!

[robu2348]

were can i find john monolisan - days of future passed?

[jtbell30]

Haha this Teresa Strassers news intro song on The Adam Carolla show.

[Stonecosy]

Wow! Well done!

[MysticProphet57]

This is how it should've been....

[jazzwing]

They should've used it!

[spews1973]

I was rather disappointed that this music was not used at any point in the recent "Casino Royale" movie. After all they had the old theme tune from the cartoon used in the end credits of the "Spider-Man" movie, so thanks for doing this and yes, it is eerily fitting at some points.

[Gustavtheowl]

A Perfect Fit!

[MostEpicTriumph]

If they ever do another remake of the original Casino Royale but with the original intention of it being a parody, Daniel Craig should spoof his own Bond performance.

[peacemaker181]

lmao!

[SCCheesehead]

Great! The song and the video were meant to go together, wish the movie would have featured this intro.

[luciremagazine]

Worryingly fitting in certain places!

[brian1963110]

Need to use this for the intro. of any James Bond movie..that would be so cool.

[hansuulsolo]

Much better! James Bond never gonna be the same... I do prefer the Cassino Royale parody to this blockbuster.

[bgdjohnny]

It actualy did work - you got Herb Albert - I guess anything would be cool dancing w/ that

[ziakbar]

Superb. Great idea: it fits perfectly. Stroke of genius! Well done.

[HRwatchinpuff]

Great...just as cool as the 60's Bond spoof

well done!

[Nikovercetti]

NICE!!!

COOL!!!

AWESOME!!

CREATIVE IDEA!!

WONDERFULL!!

5 stars!!!

[LeCougare]

very nice touch! the original Burt Bacharach theme to the newest film.  well done!

[TheGringoGentile]

goddam fantastic.

[myloverisbillmurray]

hahahah wonderful

[ziakbar]

Great!

[backroomcircus]

good idea this vid...

[stuka1966]

I loved the new Bond movie. But I love Herb's theme more than the new music. But still a good movie. Life goes on!!!!!

[Nippontastic]

I love Herb and i love Bond

[FabuMona]

Estupenda música!!!!!

La podría escuchar todo el día!

[awfwrestling08]

This song was played in the SNL skit where Will Forte and Peyton Manning dance during halftime of a 1-sided basketball game

[pdogone1]

one of the great movie themes..

[2morroow]

aw comeoooooooonnnn !!!!

[ktsenya2]

I too heard the original music for the opening scene, and this is by FAR hotter and sexier! You did a great job.

[PJCoan]

Perfect! Brilliant! We can't forget the contribution of Herb Alpert and Burt Bacharach to the sound of the sexy Sixties!

[Whoopisheep]

fucking brilliant

[hiller4]

Though my adjective would be different, I agree with you 100% Right group with the right pulse, tone and tunes for the time.

[juliemarg]

excellent - cool music & a great film

[castusartorius]

GREAT

[ditty4]

did you know birmingham city use to run out to this song

[AvlDao]

Lazlowolf, I'm with you. I was dumbfounded in my chair when the 'new' music opened instead of this great work.

I'll be charitable and say it was probably due to "licensing and royalty" difficulties that they eschewed this gem of an instrumental by Herb Alpert and the brass boyz, and Burt B.

Thanks!

[DeeDee1957]

I saw the original Casino Royale when I was about 11 years old. I buzzed on it than, and I buzzed on it he second time around. Had the same music for both films

[mytchbullitt]

shit, this is very funny! hahaha

[gzxd]

Seriously this is better than the actual opening titles

[magmalord]

Funny funny funny!

[SadAnorak]

This track was made for the intro!

[SnoopSanders]

I like this better than the original intro by Chris Cornell

[carbine6]

I saw the brass on tv when i was a kid. Herb Alpert did play lead trumpet in this number

[carbine6]

Chuck Findlay Tony Terran or Ollie mitchell are probably the trumpet players

[carbine6]

Uh. The tijuana brass were fictitious until a band was needed for touring. The musicians who recordedthis were a bunch of socal studio bums mostly formally trained. They called themselves "the Wrecking Crew" Hal Blaine. Glen Campbell. A bunch of others. They did hundreds of songs in the late 60s early 70s

[hibob418]

The liner notes to the most recent Greatest Hits package doesn't mention who popped the double A, but it does say that Burt Bachrach was in London scoring the film and sent a tape to California of the title song minus the lead part. They put on two passes of trumpet melody and the maracas here in the states.

[Libertarian1776]

This song was recorded by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass in the mid 60s.

[islandbmd]

that trumpet in the background can go really high. any1 know who he is?

[timbrown527]

I've heard Ollie Mitchell as a possibility, but there was another person that I was more certain of. If I can remember it, I'll pass it on.

[timbrown527]

I think that is a double A that you are hearing.

[timbrown527]

Ok. I remember now. The other person I've heard attributed to the double A in this song is Bud Brisbois...

[BigLisaFan]

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Great stuff!

[blairone100]

somethings never get old, like this

[legal1zed]

this song was amazing on the clip on SNL peyton manning is the man!

[belianis]

I really wish to meet Bacharach in order to tell him that he should make a longer version of this tune, which I feel ends way too soon.

[KneepersKnoppers]

I agree that it's too short. I usually just play it twice.

[billB2GBG]

There's not enough melody in it, that's why it seems short to me too.

[wildertaos]

I havent seen the new movie, but this music lends it very well to this. Good job.

[buttfoy99]

This is nice, but I wish you'd put the version with lyrics on instead, the one at the end of the original - "He's gone to save the world at Casino Royale!" lol that would be brilliant!

[AceDharma]

I love this-But I loved the film (I didn't say it was good). I also loved the Jams Coburn "Flint" movies, and the Dean Martin "Matt Helm" movies - no accounting for taste I guess.

[belianis]

It must be admitted that, at least, the women in those movies were HOT. Which were your favorites?

[belianis]

How is it that Elke Sommer--one of the great beauties of the 60s--was never in a 007 film?

[brianutsz]

T's news!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crimmond]

If I had any say so in the new film, this music would have made it into the scene where Bond takes the handgun out of the manila envelope and loads it in the elevator. Just have this playing softly as muzac.

[belianis]

Can you get the opening credits for CASINO ROYALE of 1967? Those animated credits are among the most amusing ever done!

[14thknight]

you have alot to answer for here, i will be humming whistling singing song in the shower for days......:)

[nodamnnamesnottaken]

Great song and musicianship. The album (sounds Like...) rules!

[FSTOPDR]

Your idea was so simple, which made it more genius!! Well done! Everybody and their mother has posted that visual with the current theme song... its okay but won't be a classic. I really like all three of the instrumental Bond movie themes.

I hope I'm the first to take the Mission Impossible tv theme and add it to the movie credits!! LOL!

Great work, guy/girl

FSTOPDR

[theflowerpower01]

My most favorite song of Herb and his band,yes it's in my top 3 and in my will to play on my funeral (when I die), maybe a bit morbide or cold realistic but yes that's life.

Anyway this song has class and style and that's the way I want to go when my time is there.

[swansafc1912]

Love this tune its got a great 1960s feel good feeling makes you feel happy and long

for days gone by thanks.

[carbine6]

an actual band was later formed for the benefit of the public

[carbine6]

The Tijuana brass are fictitious. The backup musicians were a groups of session musicians known as "The Wrecking crew". Among them were Hal Blaine and glenn campbell. They were very prolific in the 60s, doing songs for TV, movies, and commercials.

[Gaslightsqyare]

Nice job.

They should have used this for the latest movie. It is great. Thanks!

[smolville]

I asked the people aw work, what was the first and the next James Bond movie, same answer. Nobody got it, not even the 50+ people.

[smolville]

I asked the people aw work, what was the first and the next James Bond movie, same answer. Nobody got it, not even the 50+ people.

[Babs5802]

Smoooooooooooth

[pimpcane27]

great

[lovhybrid]

reminds me more of peyton manning at SNL

LOL

[DEBDENRAIDERS]

brill !!! its 100% better than the music that was on the new version that was crap music 4 a bond film but Herb albert is great for the new film

[bevibev1]

PURRRRRRRRE GENIUS!!! WOW!!!

[ngogol]

You've got that right bevibev....genius

[azusaka110]

This is fucking amazing

[gzxd]

Good... I like....

[mulsanne917]

Haven't seen the recent release (although I hear it's quite good), but I do have to opine that this sort of music belongs more with the lighthearted, 60's David Niven/Peter Sellers bond spoof.

IMO, to appreciate this sort of "Casino Royale," you have to be willing to pick yourself up by the hair(piece)...and hold yourself out at arms length....

Apologies to "M" (the owner of the of the original "hair"loom). :)

[kevinthe1st]

I understand your point, but must interject that this is not the 1st of Herb's music seems to have a hidden darkness to it.AsI understand the sales of "Rise" went up after a "Luke & Laura rape scene". It would seem that Herb's music is suited towards this kind of action.peace

[ProjectM250]

That's awesome. I did the same thing with Ninja Scroll. It didn't work as well...

[HighwayCinema]

Great stuff! Very little music has the appeal of Bacharach. I do recommend the great re-mix CD Timeless by Sergio Mendes & friends. I just gave away 5 copies of it in Acapulco and people freaked out, great tunes!

[pgriffi]

It's to bad that this great song does not fit with the mood of the James Bond movie of the same name. "Me nombre es Bond, James (pronounced Haam-es) Bond, Ah-Ha!"

[whenaman]

BEST, YET. ENJOY ONE OF THE BEST MUSICIANS/COMPOSERS OF THE 20th CENTURY, HERB ALPERT.

[WDScobie]

Yes, love it! I have heard many versions of it, great tune!

its so...haha, I'm at a loss for words

[PeytonIsMine07]

the song is played on SNL with peyton manning funny!

[shakatak18]

I think I peed my pants, just a little bit.

[animemangalover11]

I'm glad Burt could compose such a piece, he's great! This is is one of his best. Although all of his are great, but this one just seems so simple. He truly is a genious.

[candysugarlips30]

LMFAO All I can think of is that coach dancing to this on SNL with Peyton Manning lol :)
