Never Say Never (Again) Unlikely Bond theme tunes with a license to thrill

From Bjork to Slade: who should ‘do’ the theme for new James Bond flick, Spectre.

Everyone’s favourite sexist murderer is BACK! Today, Spectre, featuring the rocky cliff face of Daniel Craig, was announced to fans of espionage, gambling, problem drinking and noisy cars everywhere, who are very pleased indeed. Probably. So that’s good.

What hasn’t been announced, however, is the theme song for Spectre. Last time round, Adele’s ‘Skyfall’ was an Oscar-winning smash, but we reckon they have done and could do better with the choice of music. Remember when Shirley Manson did one? Halcyon days. If you ignore Madonna’s effort, the likes of Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones and Paul McCartney have enjoyed success as performers for the franchise, with memorable ditties that play before James Bond has sex, gambles or shoots someone. Or all three. Since he predominantly seduces unmarried women, the gamble he’s taking is with the approval of Jesus.

So let’s consider the options and come together as a populace to decide which sounds should help set up another Bond documentary. Here are some options, go on Twitter to vote for your favourite. If it’s chosen as the official soundtrack, this document serves as testimony for the payment of £100,000 (I have PayPal).
