Who should or shouldn't sing the next James Bond theme
Posted by Dave C on 22 January 2008 - 1:58pm.
Apparently shooting is underway for the next James Bond movie, with November 2008 being whispered as the due date. So who should get their call up papers to sing for Her Majesties Secret Service ?
I'm saying Vodka Martinis all round if it's Bowie or Kylie, - strap ‘em in the ejector seat if it's Robbie Williams or Joss Stone.

nothing like a dame
I say they should get Shirley Bassey again :P
Return of the lungbusters
Or Tom Jones and Lulu (not together though)
Amy Winehouse
Amy Wineshop if she can get her sh** together.
Yes
Amy Winehouse would be the natural choice. Although Jenny Lewis would get my vote.
Amy Wino would be great and also...
Possibly Goldfrapp - most of their albums already have a John Barry type tune somewhere.
Anthony
and the Johnsons.
Ringo!
Hey, why not. He already did Octopussy's Garden.
This is the moment...
...when somebody who knows how to post videos on here puts up Goldfinger by "Ringo Starr".
What, like this?
That's the one...
...Cheers.
I am in trouble...
I think I need a lie down. That was brilliant. Brilliant.
Ringo, Bond and Chorlton
That bass line is stolen from the theme tune to "Chorlton and the Wheelies".
Where...
...did that originate?
It's great by the way.
It's from...
...The Peter Serafinowicz Show. Type his name correctly into youtube and many wonders will await you.
Bleedin' Leona
It'll be that bleedin' Leona Lewis, I'll bet.
Iceland's Finest...
Bjork, she would put an interesting twist on things.
Play dead
would do. Its a better title for the film too.
Diva
Rufus Wainwright.
Has to be...
Keith Richards
Her Satanic Majesty requests..
The Stones are well overdue for a pop at a Bond theme..
Nah... not The Stones...
Keef solo. It would wind Mick up something rotten...
Given that the last one...
...was sung by Chris Cornell from Soundgarden, I'm putting money on Eddie Vedder.
Gothfinger
Radcliffe and/or Maconie pointed out that Siouxie's most recent single "Here Comes That Day" sounds like a great lost Bond theme. She'd be a fearsome Bond girl.
Gothfingggggeerrrrr....
He loves only black,
Only black.
He loves black.
He loves only black,
Only black.
He loves black.
I'd like to see
Lucinda Williams have a go.
It's gotta be...
...the newly back working again Portishead!
All Mine is the best Bond theme that never was... in fact, it's so good, they should have renamed the film that came out around that time just to shoehorn it in.
Anyone but....
Katie Melua
Celine Dion
Take That (it's possible - remember AHA)
Puff D.Diddy.the Magic Dragon - whatever he is this week.
Nickleback
Jarvis Cocker
Jarvis would be good.
No dodgy rawk types please Mr Arnold, that last one with Chris Cornell was awful.
Failing that, let Macca have another go.
What's a good rhyme for the title?
Quantum Of Solace...
erm....
it might help if the villain was called Horace. Or Norris.
That title...
Actually, just focus on the first word. Big opening action sequence, then into Neil Diamond's Solitary Man.
Or even...
... Boris.
I can see it now - Boris Johnson planning to take over the world (or at least insult most of it - and he's made a good start).
Most stadium rock bands would be plain wrong but..
I could imagine The Foo Fighters making a reasonable go of it. Or how about Led Zep' - set the opening titles to to a 'Kashmir' style stomper.Luscious.
And surely Pete Townshend must have something spare he could 'work up'.
Not Portishead but...
Massive Attack with Tracy Thorn on vocals.
Nah, lets go for a camp Bond...
and go with the Scissor Sisters or Rufus Wainwright.
Licensed to kill that kills to kill the kill that kills to kill
Now that we know the title, surely there can only be one man for the job:
Plus...
He'd make a great bond villain too. Wouldn't he look perfect with a white cat on his lap?
and...
a harmonica in his gob.
Character's name:
Dr. Kleft.
Excellent!
"The name's Bond. James Bond..."
"Ahhh, yes. The elusive Mr Bond. You have been sorely trying my patience. I am Dr. Kleft. Remember that name, for it will be the last you will ever hear." (breaks off from rant...) "Hmm, this gobiron tastes odd..."
IF
your looking for a Bond villain you could do a lot worse than Ron Mael. I think it should be Sparks!!!
Borrow a time machine...
....Lane Staley, he's got everything in his voice a Bond song should have. Mind you, I'd have said that about Chris Cornell 'til I hear his effort.
I'm with the chances of Leona Lewis getting a go.........then I'll kill myself.
Here's my prediction
Given the current ubiquity of Live And Let Die (Shrek 3, The Brits) I reckon they'll get McCartney to do it again.
