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...

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 :)
