The Ballad of Maxwell Control

...A View to Kill, by Duran Duran. How did Maxwell make this stunning conclusion?

All of the quoted text are lyrics to popular 80’s songs…

Jump – Van Halen
Against All Odds – Phil Collins
Maniac – Michael Sembello
EightSixSevenFiveThreeONine – Tommy Tutone
She Blinded Me With Science – Thomas Dolby

Break My Stride – Matthew Wilder
Owner of a Lonely Heart – Yes
Nasty – Janet Jackson
Dancing on the Ceiling – Lionel Richie

Ninety Nine Luft Balloons – Nena
Upside Down – Diana Ross
Mickey – Toni Basil
Broken Wings – Mister Mister
Everybody Wants To Rule The World – Tears For Fears
Rock The Casbah – The Clash

Our Lips Are Sealed – The GoGo’s
Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now – Starship
Every Breath You Take – The Police

She Drives Me Crazy – The Fine Young Cannibals
Only In My Dreams – Debbie Gibson

Ghostbusters – Ray Parker Jr.

If you take the first letters of all the songs in the titles, you get the words JAMES BOND NUMBER ONE SONG, and only one song hit that hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts in the US was a James Bond theme… A View to Kill by Duran Duran.

So Maxwell and Jenny have escaped....until next time.
