I agree Treefingers. It sounds a bit cliched to me too. Plain aswell although I do think part of the tune is alright. I'll reserve final judgement until I've heard the full song. Currently it sounds like they haven't really put anything special into it. It's the Bond theme with a bit of a tweek in parts.
I also agree with another poster who previously noted she uses the song title perhaps too much in the lyrics.
BTW, my favorite ones are GoldenEye, Goldfinger, Thunderball, On Her Majesties Secret Service, and Diamonds Are Forever(my favorite! I can listen to this over and over and never get sick of it) :)
I like the one from Dr. No, of course it's the original :) Really catchy!
I don't like at all Alicia Key's version :/ And Madonna :/ I actually have the album with DAD on it, I was like 12 so that's why I bought it lol.

not sure what you mean. I THINK I hear a little of Dr.No's theme, is that what you guys are talking about?
I haven't listened to the sample, but the last bit of your comment sums Adele up completely: take 'Set Fire To The Rain,' for example. If we heard the first minute of that, most of us may think it's great and she has a nice voice. But, it's that chorus where she lets loose and shows off the beauty of her vocals.
Yeah, the Dr No theme is commonly known as just 'The James Bond theme' and it comes up in every Bond film, sometimes sampled in other tracks, like it is here.
I'll have to listen to Another Way to Die again. It's not a song I listen to often. Yes, the 007 theme sounds somewhat familiar. ;)
"Which Bond theme song is in SKYFALL? I just heard them all and I can't find it."
Monty Norman's classic Bond theme that they play through the gun barrel sequence in each film.
@creasy47 Adele's music works very well in building up emotions reaching to the climax of the song. All her songs start out slow. Perfect examples are Set Fire To The Rain and Rolling In The Deep. The first 45 seconds of both of those songs aren't anywhere near the last 30 seconds! SKYFALL sounds very different than most of her work but I'm very ANXIOUS to hear the rest because I know it's going to be breathtaking!
* The last 40 seconds of Set Fire To The Rain are extremely intense. Most likely SKYFALL will end like that. It ends in an instant as well which I love. It gets exhausting singing that song sometimes and for it to end like that, it's great!
I love 'Set Fire To The Rain,' especially the ending. Her voice just carries throughout and ends abruptly with the instruments. It's beautiful.
It can be interesting all the way thru, being slow doesn't make it uninteresting IMO. It's about the experience and emotions the songs build up and down while listening to it. That's why listening to the whole song is imperative. We have to wait till Friday but I actually wouldn't mind if the whole song sounded like that minute and 30 seconds we just heard lol It's so sultry and dramatic, I love it! It'll get more intense, no doubt about it.
With Paul Epworth you'll get a breathtaking instrumental piece with this song, and Adele's emotions throughout the song are without a doubt the best you'll hear in any song. Remember I'm an Adele fan so I'll defend her till the end lol It all has to do with taste as well. Not everyone is going to love this song.
it's either "Uno" or "United States Of Eurasia"... both have a Bond flair to them..
IMO, it's strong - a bit cliche'? maybe - but i think it's still a solid sampling, and it's been a while since we've had the title of the film in the song, so that is nice to hear lol... and honestly, using the Bond theme's note progression in the song doesn't bother me at all.... enough of the song is original, that using it as a bridge between chorus and verse is alright - had she simply put lyrics to the Bond theme, then it would be a different issue.
Hey Bennie. Shall we skype a bit tonight :-). I need to share my Bond-craziness with someone now hehe.
I thought..whats going on here and got quite excited. However it turned out to be the sample I heard last night and they said to check it out on Friday....Sounded great though on the radio!
Precisely!
I beg your pardon?
You must have no idea a bout classy bond themes then. haters are gonna hate.
I think its one of the best bond songs since Golfinger. Does anyone else agree.
I wasn't too big on the preview but I'll wait for the full song. I did like it when the Bond theme started.
Please don't do that. "You don't like something so your just a hater!" He doesn't like Adele, so what?
Of course, he's seen all the films, etc, but he doesn't like Adele so he's not a true Bond fan! It makes perfect sense!
