A friend recommended an animé soundtrack to a show I hadn't seen. "It's sort of a Bond-style show," she said. The tip-off was the character named "Ms. Pennylane," simultaneously tweaking the Fab Four and 007.
Not that they settle for tweaking... Here are two brief clips. Can you spot the original and the copy?
... and ...
One of these things sounds lots like the other,
One of these things is a similar song...
One of the other tracks on the disc is performed by Billy Preston, to add to the mystery. The second set of clips shows an improvement in the English accent, which really only makes it more obvious...
... and ...
This may not really be England, but it sure resembles it.
These two tracks are from "Vocal Side," as they put it, and the more original stuff is pretty good music, but the instrumental pieces from the show are not available on disc as far as I can tell.
