When Tom Hanks put together his 60's inspired soundtrack for That Thing You Do! this song song was the inspiration for "Mr. Downtown".

Oh no, you let the wrong words slip while kissing persuasive lips.
How cool of a song was this?
This song was to me the epitome of coolness for most of my young adulthood. Then, my dad took me to my first Bond movie and the die was cast. This song still brings back fond memories. |

fond childhood memories of giggling at my brother as he crooned "Secret ASIAN man" when this song came on the radio.

One of my all-time favorite guitar licks.
And Patrick McGoohan was The Man in all his shows and movies.

Theme song for British TV series "Secret Agent" which then had a spin-off (sort of) into "The Prisoner" - Magoohan was awesome in both!
Love this song!

This is one of my all time favorite songs. It's up there with Low Rider, Be My Baby, and Duke of Earl. Rock and Roll to make to you smile.

I first heard this song when watching Austin Powers, and thought it was something they made up for the movie...
