"Live And Let Die" - Wings cover by HSCC aka
The Hindley Street Country Club (Aug. 2023)
Kicking-off the show, that was HSCC - The Hindley Street Country Club -
the amazingly talented Australian cover band, with "Live And Let Die,"
the theme of the 1973 James Bond film of the same name.
It is also my theme song, spelled "LIV And Let Die," and I'm here to tell you why.
Hi! I'm Liz Liv Taylor, star of the British psycho thriller
miniseries Wilderness on Amazon Prime Video.
is having a fling with Liv's husband Will.
"Something New"/"Call The Shots"/"Fling"
Girls Aloud 20th Anniversary Megamix
(November 2022)
Wilderness follows a twisted love story as my "happily-ever-after" life
quickly turns into a living nightmare thanks to my hubby's philandering.
Will and I are a young British couple from Wales.
For the sake of Will's career, we recently relocated to New York City.
Before you know it, our marriage is on the rocks... the rocks
of the Grand Canyon's south rim, to be more specific.
That's because I discovered incriminating texts and a steamy sex tape
starring my hubby and his buxom blonde co-worker, Cara. (below)

Yep, it was a shocking, devastating breach of trust.
I found out the hard way...
"Where there's a Will... there's a woman." Good one, Liv!
Here's another one. Where there's a Will... there's a way for him to cheat on me.
"Live and let live," the old proverb advises us.
But after finding out about Will's extracurricular activities in the sack, I say--
Liv And Let Die! - Katy bar the door - Hell hath no fury - and all that rot.
You might remember the Ronnie Dove hit "When Liking Turns To Loving."
Well, the name of our song is "When Heartbreak Turns to Rage and Revenge."

"Too many fish in the sea," so goes the old saying. Weaselly, weak-willed,
never-say-won't Will is constantly patrolling the waters and goes after
anything that moves. As the talented all-star band from the
School Of Rock suggest, he's a-- "Barracuda!"

Distraught wife Liv Taylor with you on S-P-M-M Retro Radio,
sharing my sob story with anyone out there who will listen.
It's about my nogoodnik husband who's been flopping around in seedy,
fleabag, pay-by-the-hour hotels with his sexy blonde co-worker Cara.

But I just keep on smiling and biding my time...
and the wheels in my noggin just keep on turning.
Let me propose a toast to my darling husband Will...
because, very soon, he is gonna be just that-- toast!
I learned from the frat bros of Animal House that when things
go from bad to worse... the only answer is--- road trip!
So I coaxed Will into joined me on a fun trip to the Grand Canyon.
Grand Canyon - yeah... that's the ticket!
And the wheels just keep on turning...
You always think that the grass is greener, Will darling. Good News!
You'll find green grass galore at the bottom of this 800-foot cliff!
Sing it with me, dear hubby: "Ain't no mountain high enough..."
Any last words for your Facebook subscribers. sweetheart?
When push comes to shove.... a girl needs to take bold, decisive action.
OOPSY-DAISY! Watch out for that first step, Will. It's a doozy!
So yes, after finding out that I am married to a liar and a cheater,
I felt hurt and betrayed and began making plans to get even.
But here's a big surprise. Upon meeting Cara...
the blonde bombshell who tore apart my happy home...

I concluded that she deserved my sympathy more than my wrath.
Instead of hating on Cara... I came to understand her.
Unlikely as it seems, Cara and I formed an alliance.
I focused all my hate and revenge plotting on Will.
I even invited Cara to join me as co-hostess
of this Shady's Place exclusive.
That is a surprise, Liv. It's so cool that you and I bonded!
Let's become besties! Maybe we can go shopping together! Yes?... No?...
Folks, I know it was wrong to get involved with Liv's husband Will...
especially since I am engaged to (wait for it) Haven hunk Duke Crocker!
Sing it with me: "It's a small world after all."
But Will kept me under his spell by serenading me with "our song."
He sang it to me every time we parted ways following romantic interludes.
"Cara Mia" - Jay And The Americans
(June/July 1965, highest chart pos. #4 Hot 100 & Cash Box/#1 Canada)
You just heard my theme song, "Cara Mia Why Must We Say Goodbye,"
a top 5 biggie for Jay And The Americans in the summer of 1965.

to keep our torrid affair going. It's a cover of an international hit in
early 1976 waxed by the British soul band Hot Chocolate.

So, yeah... go figure. Cara and I are the odd couple alright.
Who knew that two women sharing the same weak-Willed
snake-in-the-grass could work so well together as a DJ team?
Time for me to spin another catchy tune, and this one just came in
on my toll-free request hotline. Our Romanian friend Andrei Cerbu
is in my ear asking me to make it a Beatrice Florea double-play.
That works for me, Andrei, because Bea's cover of a soulful
song by R&B great Solomon Burke helps me tell my story.

You know, folks, I should have seen this blowup with Will coming from
a mile away. I always sensed that he's sly, slick and wicked... and a perv.
He once confessed to me that I turn him on because
I remind him of Clara Oswald on Doctor Who.
Well, isn't that special?
As if it weren't enough that he chases skirts all over town...
Even when he's with me...
he's fantasizing that I'm someone else!
I hear ya, Liv. Will pulls the same stunt with me.
The other day... during our romp in the hay...
he said I remind him of "Carson"... the head cheerleader
in the movie sequel Bring It On: In It To Win It...
and that I also remind him of "Brit"...
...one of the hotties in Spring Breakers.
Whatever turns you on, Will.
To sum it up, Will thinks this is a man's world, but he's
forgetting one thing. As Romanian up-and-comer Rianna Rusu
reminds us in her cover of James Brown's 1966 hit ballad...

Speaking of being "lost in the Wilderness"...
After turning my world upside down with his cheating ways...
Will got the bright idea for us to go on a hiking, camping vacay
in another... (what's the word I'm looking for?)... Wilderness.
He thought a week or two of R & R at an isolated
mountain resort would patch up our broken marriage.
But by sheer coincidence, who did we happen to run into on one of the trails?
You guessed it - mistress Cara and her studly boyfriend Duke Crocker!
What a great way to relax, unwind and forget about our little problem!
And wait till you watch the series and see the thrilling "cliffhanger!"
As The A-Team's Hannibal used to say, "I love it when a plan comes together!"
