Video Game Scores
They are worth noting, they are still under the banner of "James Bond Music" >><< 124.181.69.71 (talk) 04:01, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

From Russia with Love primary and secondary themes
The same piece of music is listed as both the primary and the secondary theme for From Russia with Love. Norman314 05:27, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Discography
This article needs a discography. I have some old James Bond albums from the 60's (mostly scores performed by the Zero Zero Seven Band), and it would be great to see them listed chronologically. ---Alexander 007 04:22, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * We should stick to recordings made specifically for the movies. Recordings of Bond songs by Zero Zero Seven Band and the Outer Mongolian Kazoo Orchestra ;-) are a dime a dozen. There were dozens if not hundreds made in the 1960s (I have a pile of them myself). I'd rather see detailed information about the official movie recordings, though a lot of this is already covered in the applicable movie articles. 23skidoo 06:05, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, I suppose. But I want a discography of those Bond records in Wikipedia, perhaps in another article. ---Alexander 007 07:00, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a pop-culture related article might be a good place for a discography, though you'd need to have a fair amount of information at the start to avoid someone doing a hair-trigger AFD. 23skidoo 05:36, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yup. I'm still interested in putting together a discography in another article, and once I get a reference (or better yet, references) at hand, I'll start the thing. Unless someone else comes along and starts it, which I wouldn't mind at all. -Alexander 007 05:46, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Depeche Mode
Don't you think some of Depeche Mode's songs would fit in a James Bond movie (particularly "Enjoy the Silence" and "Policy of Truth"?)? Silly me, I forgot to sign it again. 71.111.209.99 01:06, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Uh, ok. monkeygra (talk) 20:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

James Bond Theme as a closing theme
I think it should be noted which Bond films used the James Bond Theme for the closing music. I know this was the case with Dr. No, OHMSS and TWINE. Are there any other examples? 23skidoo 03:49, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Casino Royale (2006) 4.243.149.137 05:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Expanded soundtrack information
I suggest that all the film's soundtracks be updated with information from that soundtrack, such as various films (such as On Her Majesty's Secret Service or The Living Daylights) getting expanded soundtracks, issues about rereleasing certain soundtracks like Die Another Day or Licence to Kill, and maybe even a controversy with the Octopussy soundtrack (the original version by A&M Records had a printing error and was recalled, later rereleases by Rykodisc and EMI just add three tracks with dialog from the film with no additional music). Your thoughts? -TonicBH 03:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Specific soundtrack information can be found on the film's article. I think that's where the information should really be. Look to expand there. I think the scope of this page is really on the themes (e.g. James Bond Theme - not something like Nobody Does It Better), the composers, and the musicians associated with the series etc. K1Bond007 04:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

The theme was heard during the closing credits of the recent remake of Casino Royale. 69.29.6.5 05:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)Lee Ann Campbell

How to edit the infobox at the end of this and other Bond music articles?
I want to edit the infobox at the end of this and other articles devoted to the music of the James Bond series of films, so that the names of each of the tracks points to the relevant Wikipedia article. You know, the one with the tag { { James Bond themes } } (removing the spaces, of course). It's driving me batty -- can someone tell me how to do it? TIA. -- Jalabi99 09:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

James Bond music
Hi. I don't disagree with you enough to revert. However in terms of long term impact Easton's song is a sidenote. Stop anybody in the street and ask them if they remember the theme to Diamonds are Forever or You Only Live Twice and many people will remember the Sinatra/Bassey songs. Ask them to name the theme to For Your Eyes Only and I suspect you would get more blank looks than answers. I don't think chart position is the most important factor - We Have All the Time in the World barely registered when released after OHMSS, but made the top 10 in the 1990s following the Guinness ad. Best regards Mark83 20:54, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You would have to find citations and not just go by random gut feel. Which might not be easy, given that it's totally subjective. FYI, FYEO is on my iPod, and the other two are not. Wahkeenah 22:53, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Clarification needed
This article tells me that the film "The World Is Not Enough" contains a song called "Only Myself To Blame" which is "not included in the film". Can that be made a bit clearer? AndyJones 21:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

The soundtrack includes the song that was apparently intended for the film, but ultimately not used. monkeygra (talk) 20:28, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Theme chart
How nice it would be to have a musical jpg of the melody of the musical theme we're talking about. As an encyclopedia, let's not forget to write also for someone who does not know anything about the subject. I'd do it but I don't know how to put pictures in,I've tried several times to no avail.

"Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang"
Is there any connection between the title of this song and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? Although it might seem to be a stretch to make such a connection, one must remember that the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie came out only three years after Thunderball. Even though the movies have quite different themes (CCBB is loosely based on a children's fantasy about a flying car), both movies were based on stories written by Ian Fleming. 4.243.149.137 06:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Nope - "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" was a broken English phrase used overseas by people referring to James Bond (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_Kiss_Bang_Bang_(disambiguation)) Also, from IMDB: "The phrase 'kiss kiss, bang bang' appeared in the 1960s as an overseas slang for spy movies, especially James Bond movies. It was popular in Europe and Japan. It first appeared as a film title for a 1966 spy comedy made in Spain with Italian financing. It was also the title of famed critic Pauline Kael's second published collection of reviews. Kael wrote that she chose the words as her title because they are 'perhaps the briefest statement imaginable of the basic appeal of movies.'  So, no, nothing to do with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Esprix (talk) 21:24, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Though it's certainly not enough to put a connection in the article, it is also inappropriate to completely dismiss any possible connection between Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and this song. In addition to Ian Fleming writing the underlying novel, Albert R. Broccoli produced the film, and its script was co-written by Roald Dahl (who also wrote the script of You Only Live Twice). It is very much possible that Broccoli and/or Dahl were in pre-production on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang during the production of Thunderball; that could have influenced the decision to strike this song just as much as the producers' wishes to avoid broken English or have the word "Thunderball" in the theme. --RBBrittain (talk) 12:51, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Pink Floyd James Bond Theme?
I am DAMN certain there was a theme from one of the films done by Pink Floyd, but I do not believe it was any of the MGM ones. But I could be wrong and it could have been a cover of one of the themes. I used to hear it all the time on the radio, but I can't for the life of me remember how it goes.

Necro-File 00:40, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

The Crystal Method?
The Crystal Method doing a version of the James Bond theme? As a fan of theirs, I've never heard of such a thing, and doing a search only brought up downloads from unofficial and (probably) illegal foreign download sites. I haven't heard this supposed "James Bond Rave Remix", but I'm about 99.99% sure it's got nothing to do with The Crystal Method. monkeygra (talk) 20:25, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

To Kill Tomorrow
Just bringing the To Kill Tomorrow article to your attention, it seems relevant to here. — Balthazar  (T 03:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

The Living Daylights score
Why is'nt Paul Waaktaar listed together with John Barry on this ?

a-ha worked on both song and melody of the Living Daylights.Mortyman (talk) 05:24, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Separated soundtrack and main title links
In chart in the subsection "Official Main Title Themes," I noticed most of the theme songs linked to the articles for the corresponding soundtrack. I also noticed a bunch of the songs had their own articles. So I decided to be bold (lol unnecessary link) and reconfigure the chart so that there were separate links leading to the soundtrack and the theme song articles.--Lairor (talk) 22:00, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Neutrality
The phrase 'The "Surrender" theme is heard throughout the score while the melody of Sheryl Crow's song is not used again during the film.' is irrelevant information, but more importantly, it is an insinuation that the surrender theme was better than sheryl crow's, and that the choosing was unfair. How many times a song is used is no criteria to establish wich one is better. It could simply mean that "surrender" worked well as background music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.47.69.34 (talk) 08:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Can someone explain this article?
Aside from the many formatting errors (quoting songs, italicising move titles, etc.), almost all of this seems to be WP:OR. For example: the headers... "official"/"non-official", "secondary"... what does that even mean? Who has deemed songs as official or unofficial, the author of this article? Who gets to decide what is an "official foreign song"? Where does the chart information in the peak position come from? There is a lot here about the history of Bond music, who performed what, the stories behind the songs/artists, but there are almost no sources to back any of it up. This article has been tagged for cleanup for 3 years. - eo (talk) 13:42, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd contend they're fairly self-evident and don't count as OR. Main Themes are those that play at the start of the film, after the intro sequence; given that this is a well-known James Bond tradition, that distinction is well-founded.  The Official/Unofficial distinction is a similarly understood institution when categorising material from the James Bond films, classed by whether the material was sanctioned by EON or not. Asasa64 (talk) 22:11, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

London Calling
Can anyone explain the basis for having "London Calling" part of the secondary song list? My interpretation of that list was it being a collection of notable songs written or released for the films. The Clash song was definitely not written for any Bond film, especially not the one listed on the page. Dustman15 (talk) 02:08, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Ranking the Bond themes
Due to the overwhelming discussion among critics regarding the ranking of these songs, and what makes a good "Bond theme" versus just being a good song on its own merits, I really think some sort of article - or subsection of this page - be dedicated to this topic. Some examples:--Coin945 (talk) 20:09, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Mick Leeson and "For Your Eyes Only"
The list of Bond themes incorrectly credited Michael J. Leeson as the co-writer of "For Your Eyes Only", apparently because IMDb says so; but IMDb is a wiki-like site and often unreliable (see WP:CITEIMDB, also WP:DBTF). The writer's name (more specifically the song's lyricist) is Mick Leeson, not only per the song's Wikipedia article but also confirmed by the official Oscar database (it was the third Bond theme nominated for Best Original Song), his directory entry at the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors, and a Google-cached copy of his PDF bio formerly posted on the PRS for Music website. He is British; Michael J. Leeson is from the U.S. Also, he and his regular writing partner Peter Vale wrote the Charles & Eddie song "Would I Lie to You?". (IMO it would be appropriate for someone with better Wikipedia skills to write an article about him, as he is an Oscar nominee as well as a Bond theme composer.) --RBBrittain (talk) 12:25, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Heike Drechsler

Heike Gabriela Drechsler (born 16 December 1964) is a German former track and field athlete who represented East Germany and later Germany. One of the most successful long jumpers of all-time, she is a former world record holder and ranks third on the all-time list with her legal best of 7.48 metres in 1988. Her marginally wind-assisted jump of 7.63 metres (+2.1) in 1992 at altitude in Sestriere, is still the furthest a woman has ever long jumped. She is the only woman who has won two Olympic gold medals in the long jump, winning in 1992 and 2000.

Drechsler also won Olympic medals in the 100 metres and 200 metres in 1988, a silver medal in the 100 metres at the 1987 World Championships, and is a former world record holder in the 200 metres with 21.71 secs in 1986.

Biography
Drechsler was born in Gera, Bezirk Gera, East Germany (now Thuringia, Germany). As a teenager she was active in the Free German Youth (FDJ) and in 1984 she was elected to the Volkskammer of East Germany.

Initially a very competitive long jumper early in her career as a teenager, Drechsler made a transition into the world of elite sprinting in 1986 at the age of 21. She married Andreas Drechsler in July 1984 and competed as Heike Drechsler from then on. She was coached by Erich Drechsler, her father-in-law.

In addition to her Olympic success, Drechsler won two World Championships in the long jump (1983 and 1993), as well as gold medals in the long jump and the 200 m sprint in the World Indoor Championships 1987. She also had numerous successes in European and German championships. Drechsler's greatest rival in the long jump was Jackie Joyner-Kersee, with whom she was also very good friends.

In 1986, Drechsler twice equalled Marita Koch's 200 metres sprint (21.71 seconds) world record and set two long jump world records and equalled one in 1985 and 1986.

According to an article written by Ron Casey (an Australian statistician), in 1986 Drechsler made significant improvements to her 100 m and 200 m times. In one season she went from an 11.75-second 100 m to 10.91 seconds. Her 200 m time improved from 23.19 seconds to 21.71 seconds (equaling the world record) in the 1986 season.

Her 21.71 second performance for 200 m was run into a head wind of −0.8 m/s. By comparison, Marita Koch's 21.71 second runs in 1979 and 1984 had tail winds of +0.7 m/s and +0.3 m/s respectively.

Drechsler's 200 m performance of 21.71 seconds into a head wind (−0.8 m/s) is one of the fastest ever run by a woman in the history of track and field.

In October 1986, she was awarded a Star of People's Friendship in gold (second class) for her sporting success. Several German websites, including her own, claim that Heike Drechsler was voted "Athlete of the Century" in 1999 by the IAAF. This is not quite correct: she was put on the "shortlist", but the award was given to Fanny Blankers-Koen.

Long jump
1983: 7.14m in Bratislava / (Juniors)

1985: 7.44m in East Berlin

1986: 7.45m in Tallinn

1988: 7.48m in Neubrandenburg

1992: 7.63m in Sestriere

Drechsler's 1992 jump in Sestriere was made with a tailwind of 2.1 meters per second, just 0.1 m/s over the allowable level of 2.0 m/s to be considered a world record; it was also performed at an altitude of greater than 1000 meters above sea level, which is the level beyond which marks are designated to have been achieved "at altitude." The jump is 11 cm longer than the current world record.

200 metres
1986: 21.71 seconds in Jena

1986: 21.71 seconds in Stuttgart

Heptathlon
1981: 5891 Points (Junior)

1994: 6741 Points in Talence

Doping allegations
There were many accusations of drug use while she competed for East Germany. She has never failed a drug test during her career; however, all East German athletes competing abroad were tested before departure to avoid getting caught. In 2001, the BBC claimed she has admitted to unknowingly taking prohibited substances in the early 1980s under orders from her team doctors.

In 1991, after the fall of East Germany, Brigitte Berendonk and Werner Franke found several theses and dissertations quoting former GDR doping researchers in the Military Medical Academy Bad Saarow (MMA). The basis of the work reconstructed state-organized doping practices involving many well-known GDR athletes, including Heike Drechsler. Indications were that Heike Drechsler used high doses of Oral Turinabol plus more testosterone ester injections before competitions from 1982 to 1984. In 1993, Drechsler challenged Brigitte Berendonk, accusing her of lying in a lawsuit. In the case, the full annual dosage schedules, and charts of the development of sport performance as a function of the dosage amount, were released. Drechsler lost the lawsuit. However, Drechsler continued to win titles after the DDR time (after 1989), when she started for the merged German team and was tested regularly.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Bob Saget. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bob Saget~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:41, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Charles J. Cooper

Charles J. "Chuck" Cooper (born March 8, 1952, in Dayton, Ohio) is an appellate attorney and litigator in Washington, D.C., where he is a founding member and chairman of the law firm Cooper & Kirk, PLLC. He was named by The National Law Journal as one of the 10 best civil litigators in Washington. The New York Times described him as "one of Washington’s best-known lawyers." He has represented prominent American political figures, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions, in response to the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections; Attorney General John Ashcroft; and former National Security Adviser and United States Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton.

Cooper has more than 40 years of legal experience in government and private practice, with numerous cases in trial and appellate court. He has argued several cases before the United States Supreme Court and been described as "one of the most prominent and aggressive Supreme Court litigators in the country."

Biography
Cooper was born on March 8, 1952, in Dayton, Ohio, and was raised in Alabama. He attended local schools and received his Bachelor of Arts in business in 1974 from the University of Alabama. He earned his J.D. degree in 1977 from the University of Alabama Law School. He was editor-in-chief of the Alabama Law Review and ranked first in his class. He passed the bar in Alabama and Washington, D.C. He had two clerkships with judges. From 1977 to 1978, he clerked for Judge Paul Roney of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and from 1978 to 1979, he clerked for Justice William H. Rehnquist of the United States Supreme Court.

A member of the Republican Party, he started working in 1981 in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. In 1985, during the Reagan administration, he was appointed as an Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel, United States Department of Justice, the office responsible for providing legal opinions and informal advice to the White House, the Attorney General, and Executive Branch Departments and Agencies on issues of statutory, regulatory, constitutional and international law.

At a lunch at the Old Ebbitt Grill with Attorney General Ed Meese and other administration officials, he saw documents showing the administration's role in the Iran–Contra affair of 1986. He was Meese's chief aid in the so-called weekend investigation that discovered Lt. Col. Oliver North's plan to divest funds from the CIA's covert sale of missiles to Iran to the Nicaraguan Contras.

After his government service, in 1988 he entered private practice in the office of McGuireWoods. From 1990 to 1996, he was a partner at Shaw Pittman (now Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman), where he headed the firm's Constitutional and Government Litigation Group.

Cooper & Kirk
Cooper co-founded Cooper & Carvin, now Cooper & Kirk, in 1996. His practice focuses on constitutional, commercial, and civil rights litigation. The firm was described by The National Law Journal in 2021 as "one of the most influential firms in Washington", and "a player in many of the major events in American history over the past quarter-century". Alumni of the firm Cooper founded include U.S. Senators such as Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, Federal Judges such as Victor J. Wolski and Howard C. Nielson Jr., and a solicitor general Noel Francisco.

Cooper led the legal team for the defendant-intervenors in Hollingsworth v. Perry, defending California Proposition 8 in 2008, which banned same-sex marriage in the state. He argued the case before the US Supreme Court. He has testified before Congress or Congressional committees on more than a dozen occasions.

He received the Republican National Lawyers Association's "Edwin Meese III Award" in 2016, and the group's "Republican Lawyer of the Year Award" in 2010.

Cooper was touted as a possible Solicitor General nominee in 2017. During this process, a self-professed left leaning registered Democrat and Biglaw partner explained his reasons for supporting Cooper. He described Cooper as “thoroughly devoted to drawing principled constitutional lines,” “an immovable rock” for upholding the rule of law, and “one of the most principled lawyers you’ll ever encounter.”

Supreme Court arguments
Cooper has argued nine cases in front on the United States Supreme Court.

Federal Election Commission v Ted Cruz for Senate

On January 19, 2022, Cooper argued on behalf of Ted Cruz in Federal Election Commission v Ted Cruz for Senate. In this case, the Supreme Court considered the constitutionality of provisions of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA). Cooper on behalf of Cruz contended section 304 and the corresponding regulations violated the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment.

On May 16, 2022, by a vote of 6-3, in an opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of Ted Cruz.

Virginia Uranium v. Warren

On Number 6, 2018, Cooper argued Virginia Uranium v. Warren. In that case, Cooper represented the owner of a uranium mine arguing that Virginia's ban on uranium mining was preempted by federal law and was therefore unenforceable.

Hollingsworth v. Perry

On March 26, 2013, Cooper argued Hollingsworth v. Perry. The substantive question in that case was whether the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the state of California from defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Cooper represented the proponents of Proposition 8, a ballot initiative adopted by the voters of California that defined marriage as being between one man and one woman.

South Central Bell Telephone Company v. Alabama

On January 19, 1999, Cooper argued the case South Central Bell Telephone Company v. Alabama. In this case, the Supreme Court considered whether Alabama's franchise tax discriminates against interstate commerce, in violation of the Commerce Clause, and whether the Alabama Supreme Court's refusal to permit the South Central Bell Telephone Company and others to raise their constitutional claims because of res judicata deprives them of the due process of law guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. Cooper argued the case on behalf of the State of Alabama.

Clinton v. City of New York

On April 27, 1998, Cooper argued the case Clinton v. City of New York. In that case, the Supreme Court considered whether the President's ability to selectively cancel individual portions of bills, under the Line Item Veto Act, violated the Presentment Clause of Article I. Cooper argued this case on behalf of the City of New York.

This case has been called “the blockbuster separation of powers case of the Rehnquist years.”

United States v. Winstar Corp.

On April 24, 1996, Cooper argued the case United States v. Winstar. In that case, the Supreme Court considered the question of whether the federal government can be sued by thrifts that were sent into financial trouble when Congress changed the computation of required reserves after the Federal Home Loan Bank Board encouraged actions based on the premise that the rules would not change.

This case has been described as “enormously important” and creating an “important precedent on the interpretation of Government contracts.”

Federal Election Commission v. NRA Political Victory Fund

On October 11, 1994, Cooper argued Federal Election Commission v. NRA Political Victory Fund This case raised various questions regarding whether portions of the Federal Election Campaign Act violated the Constitutionally mandated separation of powers. Cooper represented the NRA Political Victory Fund.

Lee v. Weisman

On November 6, 1991, Cooper argued the case Lee v. Weisman. The question in that case was whether the inclusion of clergy who offer prayers at official public school ceremonies violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. This case is credited for introducing the “coercion test” that has subsequently gained greater prominence in Establishment Clause jurisprudence.
