The songs match the films. If the fun ever gets restored to the Bond films, maybe we'll get a more upbeat theme.

At least you could understand what Sam Smith was singing. All I could make out in the Radiohead song was "Myalala babala Spectre myabya".

Because Broccoli and the writers are emasculating Bond, so they choose high pitched singers who sound like their groins are being smashed. :idea:

I'm pretty out of touch with modern music. Are there any singers around now who can sing basso profundo like the late, great Barry White?

I posted the Radiohead news in another section - I do read this thread :oops: :oops:

Interesting that other artistes were considered.

I'm sure they always have more than one artist under consideration. Pretty much ever Bond film has several alternate themes, and has done at least since Thunderball (remember Johnny Cash's rejected theme)?

Not exactly Bond-related, but I thought a story about an amphibious Lamborghini would surely appeal to Bond fans.

At first, thought it was 'ambitious Lamborghini' tee hee.... but thanx, it's very Bond related. Especially like the smoke ejectors. :cake:
