Hi, Do you remember the french song playing on the speakers of the streets at the abandoned island where Da Silva was hidden ?
Can you help me to identify it? Any help would be appreciated.

    It's 'Boum' by Charles Trenet, whiteknight86. :)

    Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Scotty. Bizarrely enough I was just about to ask exactly the same question as Whiteknight!

    This was the funniest part of the whole movie for me - it's a great Bondian moment and it really made me smile a lot. :)

    I thought it was Basil Brush who first recorded Boum, n'est pas?

    Yes, it's certainly one of those bizarro moments that the James Bond franchise both in film and in print is most renowned for. :)

    I thought it was one of the best scenes in the film, Nice and
    bizzarre, very Bond. :)

    I think you're thinking of this French song:

    What a fox. And Basil's not bad either. Boum Boum.

    My thoughts exactly, TP. Very bizarre and therefore very Bondian. That is indeed the essence of Bond.

    that scene with Bond on deck looking towards the island
    had a very Washington/Delaware tone too me
    (my veiw some may not agree)
    By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?
