I'd rather Jenkins sing the title track while the closing theme would be a Wales Rugby squad rendition of Nobody Does It Better.
I must be the only Bond enthusiast in the universe who sincerely doesn't like the 1977 Spy theme, I just turn off audio whenever it comes on, no disrespect as she is a fine artist and I don't have a problem with other tracks such as Why, You're So Vain and Coming around again, but Spy always has been one of my least favorite themes
And going back to the Welsh angle, why not Super Furry Animals or Catatonia or even Manic Street Preachers for the Bond theme, the latter would be an awesome choice and I think that could really work
Damn that sounds good, The Manics for Bond 23, I could really get into that :-\"
Not bad, but it will never beat Led Zep.
Buble and/or Adele. Let's inject some soul into this baby.
This is the extended version. And Risico007, you're not the only person who thinks this is a good idea...
No this is the Full version, as in it runs the length (or about) of the original song. Led Zeps is under 3 minutes as well. I'm talking a full extended version, well beyond 2.5 minutes.
This is what DA will do with Adele.
This is what Adele will do without DA:
And this is what Florence would do without DA:
And this is what Feist would do without DA:
And this is what Templecloud would do without DA:
And this is what Black Keys would do without DA:
And this is what Prince would do without DA:
in all fairness - when the title artists write their own stuff, instead of working with David Arnold and Don Black... it usually turns out sounding like complete trash, ie:
"Tomorrow Never Dies" by Sheryl Crow
"Die Another Day" by Madonna
"Another Way To Die" by Jack White and Alicia Keys
on the contrary - the 4 songs that Arnold has written alongside the artists turn out quite well, ie:
"Surrender" by K.D. Lang
"The World Is Not Enough" by Garbage
"Only Myself To Blame" by Scott Walker
"You Know My Name" by Chris Cornell
.....that is unless you just hate all of the above...
EDIT: The lead singer of Arctic Monkey's is part of The Last Shadow Puppets -_-
And their video for "My Mistakes Were Made For You" was shot at Pinewood studios ;)
I think they'll be good for 24, especially if it centers around Quantum again. Then CR, QoS, and 24 will all be quantum and all have rock-ish themes.
I'm sure she could definitely still do a Bond movie at some point. She has a long career ahead of her. ;)
This next one is a bit closer to the tempo required for a Bond theme.
Based on these two songs alone, I feel this girl could do a great Bond theme in future. She has a big career ahead of her. Keep an ear out.
(666th post. Lucky I'm not superstitious.) :-S
I hate songs that make me sad. Damn you. :P
I believe you've convinced me, my top pick after Adele and Buble.
Her "Kill Kill" is quite favorable, as well. A bit slow, but it could work.
"Buble is a lovely fella.this is true."
"Buble made me a couple of ace bloody marys during a fun evening on his 'bus'"
Don't know if this could be anything Bond-related, but thought I would post it.
I've also thought this particular tune would make the perfect QOS theme.
half right - just take out sweet.
awesome
Is this a movie or something? If so, that would be so amazing.
Yes it is, see the upcoming movies thread I've just linked four trailers for dis movie yah!
I know Bond hasn't had a great past with Pop artists (I direct you to Duran Duran, Madonna, and Jack White/Alicia Keys), but I think they've got serious potential. They aren't really Pop either, more like some kind of reform Rock.
Thoughts?
