I Wish I Was James Bond

"I Wish I Was James Bond" was the fifth single from Scouting for Girls' debut album, Scouting for Girls. It is the tenth track on the album, and on the album version it is followed by a hidden track called "Michaela Strachan You Broke My Heart (When I Was 12)". The single peaked at #40 in the UK Singles Chart. The song is about the spy James Bond from Ian Fleming's books and the James Bond movies and his world in general (girls, gadgets, 00 status, licence to kill and vodka martinis). It mentions six of the actors who played as him and a lyric of the song is the 19th movie's title, The World Is Not Enough. It also references Bond's family motto invented by Ian Fleming in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

gollark: Wiping out everything which ever has, will and could exist is much more efficient.
gollark: 0/10 - does not destroy entire totality of existence.
gollark: There's probably a more efficient way than just falling, at least.
gollark: You can also do something like warping to nearish a gravity well, let your thing fall, then warping back up and repeating, though I assume that's not fast.
