| − | |This song talks about an American secret agent and what he has to face on an everyday basis, thus giving it an anti-crime message. The song also came out in 1966, a time when many counterculture people were holding military personnel, secret agents, police officers, and firemen in contempt, and singing negative songs about them. However, because this song was the exact opposite of that, it gets extra points! This song was also used as the theme for the 1960–68 British action/adventure/mystery series ''Danger Man'', which was broadcast in the United States as ''Secret Agent''. | + | |This song talks about an American secret agent and what he has to face on an everyday basis, thus giving it an anti-crime message.
