A queen of adventure, priestess of camp, princess of love
R.I.P. John Dankworth.
Because a guy who composed a song this toe-tappingly groovy is totally mournable:
I discovered the coolness of this tune when watching the eponymous film, Modesty Blaise. And as the opening credits rolled with this song, I kept scratching my head going, "Where have I heard this before?" Then it occurred to me, "Rock the House"!
Siiiiiiick.
Damon Albarn and Dan the Automator strike again. BTW, Gorillaz is dropping (or has dropped?) a new album, Plastic Beach. Think I gotta pick that one up...
Make sure you see the vintage classique of Modesty Blaise on film 'cuz Monica Vitti is oh-so-uh-may-zing. Plus, it's got totally whizzy technicolor splashiness and that fabulous '60 style ratcheted up a billion notches. Miss Monica's outfits are outrageously delicious. Yeah, it's weird and it makes no sense, but who cares? Thanks to Dankworth the whole score is slammin' too.
I heart this version of the title song as well:
