Gitta Rensolo Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 So why is the beginning of you only live twice the same as the beginning of Robbie William's "Millenium"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 you're right Julia,i never thaught about it :huh: i haven't heard the original from Nancy Sinatra,but the intro is very similar to Millenium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeds113 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 well, the whole song isnt a cover, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 it's a cover! Nancy Sinatra's You Only Live Twice or so it seems, One life for yourself and one for your dreams. You drift through the years and life seems tame, Till one dream appears and love is its name. And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on, Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone. This dream is for you, so pay the price. Make one dream come true, you only live twice. And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on, Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone. This dream is for you, so pay the price. Make one dream come true, you only live twice. Coldplay's You only live twice or so it seems, One life for yourself and one for your dreams. You drift through the years and life seems tame, Till one dream appears and love is its name. And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on, Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone. This dream is for you, so pay the price. Make one dream come true, you only live twice. And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on, Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone. This dream is for you, so pay the price. Make one dream come true, you only live twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victaniac Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Didn't Nancy Sinatra cover the song as well? Almost sure You Only Live Twice was written by John Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawil Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Nancy Sinantra's version was the title song to the James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice," back when Sean Connery was the star!. (Yes, I am that old.) The song was long a guilty pleasure of mine, and I'm happy to see that Chris likes it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Didn't Nancy Sinatra cover the song as well? Almost sure You Only Live Twice was written by John Barry. in my opinion it was writtin by John Barry,but performed by Nancy Sinatra :huh: about comparison: The soundtrack was composed by Bond veteran, John Barry. At the time, this was his fourth credited Bond film. The theme song, You Only Live Twice, was sung by Nancy Sinatra. In 1998, Robbie Williams sampled the title song "You Only Live Twice" for his #1 song "Millennium" Williams has often been mentioned by some fans as a possible Bond in future movies. A rock version of You Only Live Twice was covered by Coldplay when they toured in 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clocks-politik Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 man you guys is slow... robbie sampled it obviously, coldplay covered the real song, nancy sinatra recorded the real song, it appeared in a james bond film...you know like ...live and let die and stuff....

han Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I heard a live version of 'you only live twice' and at the beginning chris says: 'we wrote this song for robbie williams' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlm2112 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 you only live twice I heard a live version of 'you only live twice' and at the beginning chris says: 'we wrote this song for robbie williams' I actually have that version, before he says that he says "Normally we'd be gone by now, back to our limo....back to (undecipherable).....wherever. But if you want one more, then you gotta ask for it....NOW!" *audience screams* "Quality, thank you...right. It's worth it believe me" i also have another version where chris says "This is a special song for Steve (undecipherable), happy aniversary and all that stuff.....here we go" I really like this song, i also like Radiohead's cover of "Nobody does it better" which was also a James Bond theme.....any thoughts?

sting2kx Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 ya the music does sound like Robbie William's song. i was weirded out aswell lol when i first heard the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason41483 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Written by John Barry, performed by Nancy Sinatra. That's the original version from the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice from 1967. I'm only obsessed with all things James Bond... :rolleyes: See my website below! As far as the Robbie Williams line goes, I assume Chris said that because Williams had sampled YOLT in one of his own songs and Coldplay decided to dedicate the performance of the song to him.

when the levee breaks Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 to answer the question once and for all john barry wrote the song, nancy sinatra performed it for the bond film. robbie williams sampled the srings for his song millenium coldplay covered the original barry/sinatra version chris martins comment at the beginning is a joke referencing robbies sampling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
°°°Morning°Glory°°° Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I heard a live version of 'you only live twice' and at the beginning chris says: 'we wrote this song for robbie williams' :lol: Hahaha, another example for Chris' kind of humour!

lunar1126 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 He said that ("We wrote this for Robbie Williams") at the 2000 Glasto festival.....and his joke fell completely flat on his audience!!! Nice try Chris! :lol: (Aww, I thought it was funny :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badlydrawngirl Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Chris was quite obviously taking the mick when he said that :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlewhiteshadows Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 i also have another version where chris says "This is a special song for Steve (undecipherable), happy aniversary and all that stuff.....here we go" Steve Lamacq, he's a UK Radio DJ who championed Coldplay here when they were first discovered. Which has nothing to do with anything, really, but I felt a need to enlighten ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badlydrawngirl Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Lamacq is cool :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
