If the following makes any sense to you, then you're psychic!

Random notes to self:

"Mio Amore Sta Lontado"-piano version, who's the female vocal in the radio version when the guy in the PTS is killed? Or is she another generic Italian singer from the 60's? There seem to be a lot of them floating around.

-vocal phrasing by original female vocal (NOT same as version on "Secret Agent Meets the Saint" album) and melody a bit different-try to record for the Electric Penguins? Must figure out how to deal with dialogue bits, though

-sparse piano and vocal; are there any other instruments in the background? Secret Agent/the Saint soundtrack has flute and strings and an alto singer

-It's not very subtle to play that damned song every time Lena's in the room.

-Oh, I get it now! It's the theme related to the murderous organization which sounds an awful lot like the Assassination Bureau or the Avengers episode, "The Murder Market." (more the former than the latter)

-Wait, if Drake as a butler can speak Italian in "No Marks for Servility," then why can't he speak in it as Clive Harris?

-I swear I know someone named Clive Harris, or maybe it was Morris.

Try to figure out where "Whatever Happened to George Foster?" track 20 came from, because not a single not was used in the episode of the same title...

This could just be me, but I have NO IDEA what you just wrote there. I know the subject of your thoughts was some type of italian related theme-ish thing. Perhaps it's because they were mental notes, and your mind is kind of weird. That could be it. Otherwise, I have no idea what you were trying to say. Yay.. see ya!

Hee, yes, those were just mental notes. I tend to stick my various notes on what I'm listening to in random places like my lovely LJ. Don't mind me; I'd be really impressed if you did know what I was talking about! ^_^

geez.. thanks, now you've made me feel inferior to you as I REALLY had no idea what you were talking about... :: cries :: :-)

This is a sort of random question, but do you know when the robotics party is?

[latina-business.livejournal.com]

Wow.. that could not have been any MORE random.
and no, I don't know. Sorry!

[la-veneziana.livejournal.com]

Never mind...Mr. B just sent out another e-mail. Are you and thehashmark going?

[gandydancer.livejournal.com]

hee!

i know what you're talking about for certain!

i love 'mio amore sta lontano', the mister and i sing it to each other in an exceptionally dramtic fashion quite regularly.

[gandydancer.livejournal.com]

dramAtic, gah. late night typos!

Hee! It is a fun song to randomly start humming and such. I think I prefer the version on the Danger Man/Saint compilation album as it sounds more romantic ballad-y. There's also another version sung by someone named Angelique floating around the internet, but the original is quite charming.

OK, I got everything but the Avengers and Electric Penguins stuff, although I did successfully create a whole song once out of one in a TV episode by cutting, pasting and looping just to keep the dialogue I wanted. But the original was a very basic 140BPM dance track, as I remember, not much of a challenge.

I suspect Drake pretends not to speak several languages so that people will talk in front of him, as in A Date with Doris), in which he pretends to speak no Spanish twice although he really understands what's going on. Pretending not to speak another language is a clever secret weapon to have.

"Neat Spirit!!!"

Hee, the Electric Penguins is the bell chime choir that I theoretically lead. the Avengers is the cult British spy show which indirectly led me to DM/SA and the Prisoner.

Interesting theory you have there. I must admit I love his supposedly "fractured" Greek in "It's Up to the Lady," which is a tremendously drooly episode :)
