The Female of the Species (poem) says Kipling, has the greater determination - the greater courage and single-mindedness in the pursuit of the important in life. "The Female of the Species" and its refrain have been used as a catchphrase in other works. In 1928 the Bulldog Drummond story "The Female of the Species" may have lifted the title. This story was adapted as the 1967 European spy movie "Deadlier Than the Male". Scott Walker of The Walker Brothers wrote and performed the accompanying musical theme and scored a minor hit on the UK Singles Chart in 1966. In 1996 the English pop group Space released
More Today Than Yesterday famous at the turn of the 20th century in a poem by Rosemonde Gérard, the wife of the poet and playwright Edmond Rostand ("Cyrano de Bergerac"). More Today Than Yesterday "More Today Than Yesterday" is a song written by Pat Upton and performed by Spiral Starecase. It reached number 6 in Canada, number 7 on the "Cashbox" Top 100, and number 12 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in 1969. It was also released in the United Kingdom as a single, but did not chart. The song was featured on their 1969 album, "More Today Than Yesterday". Produced by Sonny Knight
