One of the things that I love about my dad the most is how unpredictable he can be.

He’s definitely the absent-minded professor in his glasses and shabby cardigans.

He can recognize tiny Etruscan sculptures from 10 yards away. (#truestory)

He plays the banjo and the piano; can reference Depeche Mode, a-ha, and REM (because of moi, of course); and has seen every single James Bond film upon its initial release on the big screen.

We have a shared love of Bond. James Bond. (Heck, my son is named after one of the Bonds!)

The intersection of 007 and music was a long time coming here at BMT!

Dad’s birthday is next month and I’m celebrating a little early!

Here are my top 5 favorite James Bond theme songs in honor of Dad…

I’m going to acknowledge that most of this list is subjective.

HOWEVER!
