♫♪  Sweat Tongue - “Cold Finger”

Sweat Tongue offers us “Cold Finger,” the theme song to the 700th 007 film… As I imagine it, in 007’s last venture, Loose Stiffs Sink Ships, or Dust to Dust or Bust, or Skene’s Gland, Bond is a stiff, a lucky stiff… he’s buried in a graveyard, his license permanently revoked. Bond’s bones become fallen branches, a breeze lifts his branches up, and he scrapes the top of his coffin. Fade to black.

And, when the film fades to black, it fades to black from black, for the screen had remained dark, as dark the movie theater, throughout the entire picture, running time 131 minutes, while ushers, using branches and briars that they found on their ways to work, attacked the audience at the ankles. The audience’s screams score collective chaos.

Now, I think Shirley Bassey is to die for, but I don’t find “Cold Finger” a bit sacrilegious. And I find nothing wrong with rooting around in the lower chakras — or scraping my coffin with branches in the dark. Furthermore, folks who long to break out of their cages are failing to appreciate the fun in throwing their bodies into orbit around their cells, crashing against their cage walls while screaming at the top of their lungs. Charlton Heston: gritting his teeth, damning the world, monkeying around, never realizing how good he had it in that cage of his.
