DIE ANOTHER DAY is such a nice song, and I know that a lot of fans just love this tune... but in spite of all of this I was so surprised that
MADONNA have included it in the
SET LIST of her
STICKY & SWEET TOUR, although the singer had not sung it live but used it as a video interlude during the show.
Well, here is a cool remix of the song for you...
DIE ANOTHER DAY RA*S INFREROUGES REMIX:http://www.4shared.com/file/74526583/f70d2...-_DADRASIR.htmlDIE ANOTHER DAY, as you already know, is part of the original soundtrack of the film
DIE ANOTHER DAY, the twentieth spy film in the
JAMES BOND series.
The strange is that this is not the first nor the last time that
MADONNA got involved with fictitious characters that are secret agents or detectives...
Let's remember:- In
1990 the singer got a role in a film adaptation of the comic strip called
DICK TRACY created by
CHESTER GOULD as
BREATHLESS MAHONEY.
MADONNA collaborated with the soundtrack of the film singing some songs written by
STEPHEN SONDHEIM...
DICK TRACY is a popular and familiar character in American pop culture, he is a hard-hitting, fast-shooting, and supremely intelligent police detective.
- In
1999 MADONNA contributed with the soundtrack of the film
AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME with the smash hit
BEAUTIFUL STRANGER. The character
AUSTIN POWERS is a satire of the secret agent
JAMES BOND and a parody of the spy movies of the
1960s.
- In
2002 MADONNA was part of the soundtrack of the film
DIE ANOTHER DAY, a sequence of the series of the most famous secret agent in the world:
JAMES BOND, better known as
007. In the movie
MADONNA plays
VERITY, a lesbian
BOND’s fencing instructor.
- In
2008 the song
4 MINUTES was featured in the summer blockbuster
GET SMART.
The character
MAXWELL SMART, as known as
AGENT 86, is another satire of the agent
JAMES BOND.
It’s a film adaptation of
MEL BROOKS and
BUCK HENRY's
1960s spy parody television series of the same name.
... besides all of this,
MADONNA had also included in her
2004 RE-INVENTION TOUR, an excerpt of the famous theme of
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE during the performance of the song
MUSIC.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE is an American television series that chronicles the missions of a team of secret American government agents known as the Impossible Missions Force (IMF). In
1996 it was released as an action movie by
BRIAN DE PALMA and starred by
TOM CRUISE.
By the way,
MADONNA’s ex-husband,
Guy Ritchie, is filming a movie adaptation for the fictional character
SHERLOCK HOLMES, the brilliant London-based consulting detective, famous for his intellectual prowess and astute observation to solve difficult cases.
... but if you want to know witch was the first
MADONNA musical interaction with the fictional world of investigation you will have to travel to
1987... indeed, to better understand the case, we have to travel to
1933... Ready?
In
1933 the character
PERRY MASON made its debut to the public in serial format in
THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.
Created by lawyer and writer of detective stories,
ERLE STANLEY GARDNER (07/17/1889 - 03/11/1970), the character
PERRY MASON was, as well as the author, a lawyer who was involved with criminal investigations trying to resolve drastic situations, surrounded in mystery experienced and for his clients.
MASON was able to establish his client's innocence by demonstrating the guilt of another character.
Perhaps the most famous incarnation came in the form of TV series that ran from
1957 to
1966, with
RAYMOND BURR (05/21/1917 - 09/12/1993) in the title role.
... I suppose that you are probably wondering: “What the hell
MADONNA has got to do with it?!?”
Before I answer your question I want you to listen to the live version of the song
WHITE HEAT when
MADONNA was on the road with the show
WHO’S THAT GIRL WORLD TOUR in
1987.
Pay attention to the end of the song, more specifically between
04:05 and
05:20.
WHITE HEAT – WHO’S THAT GIRL WORLD TOUR – MADONNA LIVE:http://www.4shared.com/file/74528296/7bec8...93_M_-_WHL.htmlWell, the tune that you can listen to in end of this live version of
WHITE HEAT is in fact the main theme of the television series entitled
PERRY MASON that was broadcast by
CBS from
1957 until
1966 in the USA.
The familiar song was composed by
FRED STEINER and it is called
PARK AVENUE BEAT. Below follows the link where you can download the song in its entirety.
I do hope you like it!
