"You Only Live Twice" Page

Rejected theme by Brian Wilson: this song was performed by Brian and several session musicans,
with no other members of the Beach Boys. It was originally called "Run James Run," and intended
it to be used as the theme of a James Bond movie. The song was recorded on November 17, 1965 at
Western Studios, with Chuck Britz engineering. The unique percussion sound heard on the track is
drummer Ritchie Frost playing two empty Coca-Cola cans, at Brian's suggestion.(Source: Lambert,
