So all we have to do is get bigger cellos and declare war on them, with a small army it will be a doddle!

Guinness used that music for one of their most successful ads and it won an award. QAt the time of recording that song with John Barry, the Bond composer Louis was very ill and some time later he died

These were the words that were sung as the main hook, but they were changed to ‘Freak out’ before the song was recorded.Correct but that actually came from being thrown out of Studio 54 where they were invited to play one New Year's Eve by I think it was Tina Turner? but the bouncers weren't convinced and told them to "fuck off" ; Nile Rodgers went back to the studio and recorded a song and then changed the lyric-thank goodness

I actually liked that song at the time as well...disco was well and truly taking off in 1978...had the original words been used.....

A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there’s no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts.

There is no future. There is no past. Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every facet
