Martin Crane: Superior Relationship Analyst

What's even better than a James Bond reference? A James Bond in an episode of Frasier.

Martin: Jeez, how do you guys get up in the morning? You want to go into deep analysis? Listen to me, I'm your father. There's nothing wrong with either one of you. [to Frasier] You dump a woman but you can't get her off your mind, so you end up getting dumped by the other one. And you should have stayed with the first one anyway, she was hotter. [to Niles] And you? You're just learning how to date. I mean, it would have been nice if it had happened 25 years ago, but you play the cards you're dealt. Me? I like Bonnie, Bonnie's dog humps Eddie, I don't like Bonnie anymore. It doesn't mean I have "issues with women," it's just life, you know? Good stuff happens and bad stuff happens, that's all. You've just gotta look on the bright side. It's like that old song - "You Gotta Accentuate the Positive."
Frasier: Maybe Dad's right. We do tend to over-analyze things.
Martin: Hey. I got an idea. [going over to the piano] Let's go over here. Let's do a little singing.
Niles: Dad...
Martin: [to Jack] Hey, buddy, can you play "Accentuate the Positive"?
Jack: Oh, no, I'm just noodling around. The real pianist doesn't come till 9:00.
Martin: Well, you can fake it, can't you?
Jack: Well no, not really. I actually only know three songs – "America the Beautiful," "Happy Birthday" and "Goldfinger."
Frasier: That's all right, buddy-
Martin: No, come on guys, we were gonna sing a happy song, let's sing a happy song. [to Jack] Uh, play "Goldfinger."
Niles: We don't know the words to that.
Martin: Oh, come on, you knew it when you were kids! It'll cheer you up, come on. [to Jack] Hit it.
[Reluctantly the guys follow Martin over to the piano and stand awkwardly as Jack launches into "Goldfinger."]
Jack: [plays opening bars, then sings] Weh-weh-weh, Weh-weh-weh...
Martin: [prompting] Goldfinger...
All: [singing, Frasier and Niles bored] "Goldfinger!"
Martin: He's the man, the man with the Midas touch.
All: "He's the man, the man with the Midas touch..."
Martin: A spider's touch.
All: "A spider's touch..."
Martin: Such a cold finger.
Frasier: Dad, this is ridiculous.
Martin: Oh, come on, sing it!
All: "Such a cold finger...
[Frasier and Niles start remembering and getting into it]
"Beckons you to enter his web of sin..."
Martin: That's it!
All: "But don't go in!"

This track is actually on Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs, the soundtrack to the popular sitcom Frasier. I played it on the radio many times, usually followed by Soft Cell's version of "You Only Live Twice", a cover of the Nancy Sinatra tune that accompanied the what was probably Connery's best Bond film ever.

Thus saith the Fly.
