    So when are we likely to hear the themesong? How long before SF's film-release did we hear the themesong?

    The theme song to Skyfall was revealed on the 5th October 2012, three weeks before the film's London premiere. It will likely be the same with SPECTRE.

    EDIT: Corrected date from 1st to 5th October 2012.

    It's interesting that the first cut of "Skyfall" was recorded in October 2011, a year before the movie came out. Adele wasn't announced as the performer until about a month before the film came out (although there had been rumors much earlier) and the song was released on October 5, 2012.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyfall_%28song%29

    So, I'm guessing we have a while to wait.

    The best possible outcome?

    The answer: A duet with Adele and Shirley Bassey.

    Only Bond fans will no Shirley Bassey. Most people that go to the movie are unfortunately only going to know about the current music. Thus they would lose money if they gave it to Shirley. That way the only way to get her in is to have her duet with the new popular singer.

    Plus there is the metaphor: Classic Bond merging with New Bond. Adhering to the classics while at the same time sending the series in a new direction, the way Skyfall set up
  • ShatterfangShatterfang Posts: 538MI6 Agent
    We shouldn't really go with Skyfall to find out when, because Spectre's teaser came out 2 months earlier than Skyfall's from the release, and the song is coming later than Spectre.

    I'd like it if the theme song is dark and moody like the trailer. I'd like it even more if somehow the song has already been recorded and they snuck parts of the theme song into the teaser trailer.
    Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope

    I'm truly surprised no one has suggested Caro Emerald.

    Some of her more deeper songs can be quite Bondian...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYNUg5j7tr0 A cracking video for this one too.

    Or

    She sounds awesome and more than up to the job: thanks for sharing that. Very cinema. Very Bond.

    Two Bond fans have launched a campaign in support of Dame Shirley Bassey to sing the theme song to SPECTRE. They have posted a video in which they "seamlessly appear" in the Bond films.

    I want something with a low, dark, sinister twangy guitar riff like the original James Bond Theme.

    How about Rhianna singing the theme.... I know there was an article on that not too long ago. I would be up for it!
  • AlphaOmegaSinAlphaOmegaSin EnglandPosts: 10,926MI6 Agent
    Craig once said Rhianna would be a decent Bond Girl :))

    I believe the stupid interviewer gave him a choice between rhianna and beyonce, and Daniel chose the worser of the two evils, because shes dirtier

    ... [Then the title of the youtube video says: "DANIEL THINKS RIHANNA WOULD BE IDEAL BOND GIRL"

    Craig once said Rhianna would be a decent Bond Girl :))

    Ah, that explains it then :D

    My money is on Sam Smith
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Haven't heard much lately, but Sam Smith did seem to be the favourite
    To get the song. -{ he has a great voice and can "sell" lyrics.

    From what I have seen of these two ladies, neither makes much of an impression as an actress. But as far as singing the theme song, I think either could do a spectacular job with the right song.
