Great James Bond Spoof Song Part I

My favorite movie blog, Hollywood Elsewhere does it again!

Why wait for that upcoming Jack White - Alicia Keys title track for Quantum of Solace (the first time a duo will do the title song for a James Bond film) when you can check out this awesome version from British comedian Adam Buxton?

And you can sing along to the lyrics below (I transcribed them and given my notoriety with mis-heard lyrics, please take with a huge grain of salt):

I'm James Bond, I'm a spy
And I'm working for the Brits
I've got cars, and guns, and gadgets
I've got ladies with big..brains

I've got licenses to kill
I've got licenses to fish
I've got sexy suits and air miles
But here's my biggest wish:

I'd like a quantum of solace
But no more than a quantum
I know they do big bags of solace
But I don't want 'em

I only want a teeny-tiny slice of solace
Before I shoot you

Foreign location chase
Foreign location chase
Shooting dirty baddies in a busy foreign street

Foreign location chase
Foreign location chase
Running all around and now I've really hurt my knees
Ow!

So, Mr. Bond
- Yes, hello
Um, you want to stop me?
- I do want to stop you, yes, but only if it's exciting

I met a lovely lady
But found out she was a rotter
So we exchanged some saucy quips
I snogged her, then I shot her

But I felt quite bad
Because I'm such a modern, complex guy
Sometimes this job gets to you
And maybe that is why...

...I'd like a quantum of solace
But no more than a quantum
I know they do big bags of solace
But I don't want 'em

I only want a teeny-tiny slice of solace
Before I shoot you

Quantum of Solace
I've said the name of the film of the music
Quantum of Solace
I did it again, just then

I think we'll meet again Mr. Bond
- Okay, bye
