70s Songs

James Bond during the Seventies:
During the seventies, there was a James Bond song that was entitled as "To Kill Tomorrow". At one point and time, this song was considered for use in the James Bond movie as the lead song. However, because of the costs of production that film wasn’t able to get the light to proceed and the song languished. However, later it was covered by a series of different metalcore bands which included “I Killed the Prom Queen”.

Joy Division during the Seventies:
Joy Division performed a song known as "Warsaw". The song was slated for release on the "Warsaw" album which originally was scrapped by the band, and it wasn’t released until the mid nineties. This song is available on several compilations which includes “Substance”. In its appearance, the song appears as part of Rudolf Hess’s lyrical biography - he is a Hitler and Nazi confidante, who would later become disillusioned by Hitler’s rule and flee to England in order to make an attempt to draw some peace between the Allies and the Axis.

The lyrics begin with "3 5 0 1 2 5 Go!" the number was the serial number that Rudolf Hess was given as a prisoner of war during the time that he was captured when he fled to England during the second World War. The very first verse in the song describes the involvement Hess had in Beer Hall Putsch with Adolf Hitler and the infatuation with the Nazi party. Whereas, the last verse discusses his very last days in prison after he fled to England in efforts to make peace from within the Nazi Party.
