Nancy Sinatra - You Only Live Twice (HQ)

The opening and closing credits for the 1967 Movie "You Only Live Twice"

[@TheVagolfer]

The soaring violins, the Japanese influence, the evocative lyrics, certainly one of the best Bond songs.

One scenario is if you are travelling on a long distance coach journey. There is always some Fat specky scumbag woman sitting behind me and she rings up one of her fat scumbag baseball cap stock characters and sticks this morbidly obese yobbo on loudspeaker and they start to rant and Rave about some one different or weaker than them that they are going to get and bash up. This fat scumbag man on loudspeaker is just Roaring threats about their mutual enemy and soon to be victim and the woman slaps her hands together to symbolise hitting this person in future. The yobbo on loudspeaker is in a horrible crackly voice saying: 'RRAAAARRGGHH... RRRAAARRRGGH... FLER FLER FLER... Etc.' Such ghastly individuals. It really destabilised my mood let me tell you, And I strongly suspect that neither of these unsavoury miscreants regularly attend the Opera or have ever cultivated an appreciation of the Ballet! Simplement, Ow you say? Out Rageous! Les Evil Scoombags, Zey really blow my mind sometimes. Next time I must choose British Rail. 😣

[@rr7firefly]

What are the demands of perfection? The song was recorded with a 60 piece orchestra on 2 May 1967 at the CTS Studios in London. Nancy Sinatra recalled that she was extremely nervous during the session, and it took around 30 takes to acquire enough material. John Barry eventually created the final track by incorporating vocals from 25 takes. The result is this gem, which is all the more remarkable because it sounds seamless. I always loved this theme and Nancy's singing.

[@johnm893]

And, perfection is evident all over the song. Just like her father, a perfectionist. And, rightfully so..

Word is she had an incredibly difficult time singing this song. The final version was a patchwork of pieces edited together to make one cohesive product. The producer allegedly was tearing his hair out trying to get her to sing the song all the way through seamlessly. It never worked out, Sinatra later recalled that she was incredibly nervous during the recording, and it took around 30 takes to acquire enough material.

[@davejohnson-yi2rk]

Not many people know, that the title Ian Fleming chose came from a quote attributed to the Japanese poet Basho. "You only live twice. Once when you are born, and once when you look death in the face". Fleming suffered from heart troubles early in life (he was a heavy smoker and drinker) and after his first heart attack, was probably well aware that his time was limited, especially some 60 + years ago when Cardiology was not as advanced as it is today. Perhaps his POV was that after his first heart attack, he was living on borrowed time. And indeed, throughout the 007 novels, Bond often faced death but always managed to escape it. Fleming would eventually die of a second heart attack at age 56. As for YOLT, it's one of the very best in the 007 series and Nancy Sinatra does an admiral job on this hauntingly beautiful theme song.

[@ltdurham]

Love the intro. One of the best songs of the franchise. Nancy is superb.

[@Thunderbuck]

While Bond themes have been a mixed bag, there are some true greats. BOTH of Shirley Bassey's are wonderful, as is Macca's Live And Let Die right up to Adele's Skyfall. But damn, the whole package is perfect here. The lyric, Nancy's lush vocal, and those cascading strings that Robbie Williams wanted so badly for Millennium. Magnificent song.

[@mcniff1012]

Shirley made 3! Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, and Moonraker

Lulu´s "Man With The Golden Gun" fits right to the 70´s flair of the movie. Tom Jones´ contribution in "Thunderball" is not shabby, either. Carly Simon´s "Nobody Does It Better" was magnificient, too. - I´m more concerned of the 90´s and 2000´s Bond theme songs. That´s where bad songs are stacking up.

My Dads favourite Miss you Dad I will cherish The memories 👌✨❤️🌹

I was Bandra Boy in 60s, used to listen these lovely English songs not only on the Radio but when the family used to sit together in the late evenings or Sunday Mornings. Good old days.

Brings back wonderful memories of a simpler time. Love this tune, thanks.

Yesterday on FB happened to find that a 00 friend passed away years ago. This on his daughter's page. We were separated by thousands of miles and ocean, but we bonded over Bond. One visit he brought a poster of For You Eyes Only. Carried it all the way on the flight, very nice. We lost touch. YOLT was a favorite film and song. I'm here today to toast 0075. He once wrote Remember You Only Live Twice but only twice! O07 has forged countless friendships. Thanks, James. Thanks, Commander Fleming. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Used to hear this in the late 60s-early 70s on my mother's easy listening station. Never mind the rock. I thought this was the most beautiful song ever written. It's still up there with the best of my faves. Takes me back to a more easy-going, relaxed world that I can relive through this song and other classics. Hope my mother is listening to this in heaven. It is heavenly. Bless you John Barry and rip Leslie Bricusse, the writers.

Holy blast from the past. As a kid I went to see this movie 7 times. Sean Connery was THE man. The theme song was very haunting. Great memories. RIP Sean Connery

I'm 31 now and finally decided that I should watch the James Bond movies. This is the first one I've picked. I'm a huge fan of the video game series Metal Gear Solid and there soundtracks. When this theme started playing, I fell in love. Definitely sets the stage for the entire movie.

My fun parents took us to see all these Bond movies. This was my favorite theme and movie of the 60s films with Sean Connery. Very romantic song.

[@petervitti9]

Its amazing. My dad took us to see it when it came out. I was 8 years old.

[@gardensofthegods]

1963... that is a cute and funny story and I really like it

[@INF1NI73]

@TofAnimation Good for you guys haha.

[@johnjohnsilver]

The best bond movie in my eyes

[@rajprabagnanam5967]

This not fun, lovely theme music

[@paulhiggins8662]

Sean Connery. A legend pure and simple. Nancy Sinatra. Daughter of a legend. But what a gorgeous, rich, lustrous voice. Deserved to be a lot more successful than she was.

[@carnevale366]

Thanks Doc, ☺️ Cool that you 'Played it Twice' , I could listen to this dozens of times. The beautiful Violin arrangement carry me away to a simpler time of youth Ciao!

[@KGBeast.]

Imagine being in one of those huge grand movie theatres on opening night in the 60s and seeing this beautiful and haunting opening, I would be in tears of pure amazement

[@MPDLR]

Wait, nobody texting and flashing smartphones? No announcement to "report suspicious behavior and locate nearest exit"? Naaaaah we can't have that. Modern times are better

[@JakeKilka]

Pretty sure you could smoke and have beers in movie theatres back then

[@shadowoffire4307]

It's surreal it is like experiencing nostalgia from perspective of others who are long gone.

[@shakespeare_hall4788]

Yes I was there 11 years old!..... It still is 8ne of the most memorable moments in my life! A BOND Movie and what later became a franchise Changed the world forever Our mundane lives were transformed, You have to know back then Travel was really only for the wealthy and most people though they would never see other parts of the world, A Bond movie had A soundtrack that tantalised us with suggestions of Exotic cultures and the filming took you around the world in Technocolor , Danger, excitement, beauty, Sex, intrigue! A complete consummate production, the likes of the world had not seen before, and now sadly never again! Hollywood has now trashed it beyond repair, the sheer stupidity of it! As the James Bond Franchise was the highest money earner ever in franchise movie history and the Highest, audience Partisipation consistently throughout A following worldwide guaranteeing success!

This beautiful creation is filled with lush opulence and is truly the magnificent work of a genius.

[@sedona687]

Listening to this song brings up life long hidden emotions. Makes me want to cry. Realizing we do only live twice. We exist living our daily routine lives like everyone else. But then when we are unaware love finds us. And in an instant our lives change forever never to be the same again.

[@sven_86]

Sure wish you could live twice Mr. Connery. You will be missed. RIP my good sir.

[@scottcorkery7863]

The minor musical notes throughout give it a haunting melody❤❤❤

[@zahaveryfunny4202]

The best Bond tune imo. Haunting, captivating, enchanting.

[@DBEdwards]

Sheer existential magic!

[@pabloe4076]

Rip Mr Connery. I remember watching you only live twice so many years ago, still my fav bond film
