"moonraker" 007 James Bond cover - Mrcorbett

I love the bond films (and Ian Fleming books!) and always wanted to cover a 007 theme as they as much a part now of popular culture as the films themselves!, after weighing up a few that might be possible to try, i decided on the last of Shirley Bassey's bond themes for 1979's "bond in space" epic "Moonraker", which despite its unloved reputation now has always been in my top three 007 adventures, great action and locations, crazy plot, beautiful girls, Jaws!!!, brilliant Ken Adam sets, a classic forever in mrcorbett's eyes!.

Oh and of course I couldn't resist paying tribute to the legendary bond opening title legend, the late great Maurice Binder, with my own set of "bares" to dance and smooch to the music.

Although I perform the song and have created this video, I do not own the copyright to this song or images and am not using or seeking any finacial or commercial gain from it, it appears here purely for educational and entertainment purposes!.

"moonraker" is ©1979 by John barry / Hal david.

YAY, Mr. Corbett! Nicely done, this bare bones rendition - a real honey of a job. Any other songs "brewin' "?

Thanks very much, glad you liked it, I'm always on the lookout to try some unusual covers, i've been working on a version of "if i only had a brain" was Wiz of Oz mashed in with a old punk song, and will post it up if it comes off!!!, bondwise i'd love to be able to play "Goldfinger" or "Thunderball" so might have a crack at them sometime too!.

Regards
