To think the Sam smith bond theme is....

[BastardGoDarkly]

Dire?! Ok, I don't like the fellas work as a rule anyway, but it's just not block bustery enough?!! (Yes, it is a slow day here)

Though my very favourite was 'Nobody does it better'

I haven't even seen a Bond film since a View to a Kill but For Your Eyes Only is the best theme IMO.

It reminds me of Earth Song by MJ in parts, anyone else?? I keep expecting him to break into a big "a-a-a-aaaaaaa-a-a-a-ahhhh"

Oh god I thought I was the only person in the world who hated Sam Shit's voice. Why is everyone loving him so much?
I haven't heard the song but I'll probably hate it.

Did SS win X Factor?

Not heard it but agree that Jack White/Alicia Keys was brilliant. Can't bear Skyfoooaaauuuuul. Why can't she even say the word properly? It's not difficult.

Though the opening scene to 'The Spy Who Loved Me' is on reflection laughable. Naked woman doing Russian gymnastics.

Loved Skyfall as a film and the theme.

He says it took him 20 minutes to write it.

Presumably that included a 15 minute teabreak.

And two minutes for a wee break Squirrelled.

I didn't like Adele's one with all that crumbole stuff.

'Presumably that included a 15 minute teabreak.'

Just laughed out loud at that. Glad I'm the only one in the office today!

My poor ears. His song is even worse than Adele's poor effort and that's saying something.

So he wrote this dirge in 10 minutes ?. It shows.

Still to hear it but yes to JW/A Keyes - loved it though first time hearing it in the cinema - was like "WTF was that?"

My God that is awful.Strangling cats would sound much better.My 2 favourite Bond themes would be Chris Cornell and Garbage.Still sounded like Bond but with a modern twist.

We wont mention Madonnas "effort"

Live And Let Die is the best one. Even though it's Sir Thumbsaloft and Roger Moore in his M&S safari suit.

Still think you can't beat Burley Chassis belting out Goldfinger or Diamonds are Forever.

Yes live and let die is great.

Live the jack white/Alicia one, but I love anything he does.

@ crombole.

oh no love skyfall, atmospheric, danger, lots of stuff going on good build up this one just has....zilch

I still can't get used to Daniel Craig as a Bond; he's got Norman Wisdom's ears for god's sake.

I've never watched a Bond film in my entire life, & I've never really liked any of the Bond themes, although live & let die was ok. But I really love Sam Smiths song, not just because I like all his stuff, but it is a good song. Trust me, it will grow on you.

I had a hospital appointment this morning so had the displeasure of hearing it in the car on the way. Nick Grimshaw was loving it, people were texting in saying they got goosebumps and DH and I thought we must have heard something else.

About half an hour later they played the bloody thing again, we turned it off.

DS1 knows someone who went to school with Sam Smith, he said he's a right whiney bastard.

True OP, the White Stripes Another Way To Die for Quantum of Solace was really good.

It was because it was different. I heard someone going on about rousing strings making a Bond theme. But that's just stereotypical.

Crumbole was terrible.

one was terrible. It was like a Eurovision entry.
