Hi All,

Sorry for random question but it's been bugging me.

I was watching a documentary sometime ago, I think it was on Ian Fleming. Anyways, there was a bit about how the actual JB theme came about. It was lifted from a Caribbean piece of music. Does anyone else remember seeing this or know what the original music is.

Cheers

Sunil

Thanks for the link gents, already checked those out and not what I wanted.

I think that there might be a calypso link there ... I vaugely remember the chap saying he got the idea from a song... Which went something like "In de morning when I ...." No pistonhead humour on the next verse of the song tongue out

Cheers

This wasn't enough

""Good Sign Bad Sign" sung by Indian characters in A House for Mr Biswas, a musical he composed based on a novel by V.S. Naipaul set in the Indian community in Trinidad"
At work at the moment so cant view youtube, however I think this is what I was looking for.
