If you have heard Scorpions - Rock you like a hurricane(hurricane 2000) orchestrated version you know what i mean.
even my friends said that hurricane 2000 song sounds like bond song

We Are All Very Worried About You lyrics
5 to 7 minutes to go, can you feel this?
Your life on the streets is done, forget the business
You get what you give, another day another dead one
Picture me out on the edge with the half a tonne
Tryin' to move it on up, tryin' to move the ???? out
You ain't Billy the kid, you ain't no ghetto son with clout
No doubt you had it hard, just a shard from the mirror
That went out
Chorus:
Yeah we're all very worried about you,
Yeah we're all very worried about you,
And if you fly high again they gonna, bag you up,
And if you fly high again they gonna bag you up, bag you up,
And if you fly high again they gonna, bag you up,
And if you fly high again they gonna bag you up, bag you up,
You was a little out of line but you acted like you cared
And from now on, your life, and his, forever bare
I'm out on the streets, hearin' bull???? for weeks
I think it's time for you and me to meet
And if it's all minor scales and the check ain't in the mail
While you feelin' like you failed, wind blowin' past your sail
Nice place to live now son, where you gonna run?
Understand where we comin' from, put down the gun
Chorus
i always thought this may make a good bond song, or maybe some other the columbian band made minus the swear words.
Great band - great track, not a very Bond-like song though, IMO.
A much better pick from them would be Gave Up On God - probably for the end credits mind.
havent got that track "gave up on god" but i will get it i love their songs they put great effort into them, one day hopefully they will do a return in the charts, and show all them teeny boppers how its done
It's off their new album Livin' In The City - a good strong album, they have mellowed somewhat though.
Agreed about the Goldfrapp song (and the album is great too, btw)
@merseytart
Yes I've heard it - they include it in their live set too.
They do the song justice, and it was upon hearing this that I thought they could record a Bond song - it would have to be end credits though.
Didn't know there were so many Goldfrapp fans here
Not to mention the Thunderball-style opening for the first demo version with the unknown male vocalist on the soundtrack.
You can take it even one step further.
- The composer: Lalo Shifrin.
- The singer: Shirley Bassey.
- The title: Liquidator
- The style: I think Barry ripped-off DAF from this forgotten 1967 classic.
Anyway, could the background jingle be considered a vamp? There was a court case once upon a time where vamps were called public property...
Björk's Play Dead (written by David Arnold) and Bachelorette.
Grace Jones' Storm, a wonderful Bondesque anthem at the end of The Avengers film.
Recently I have thought Natalie Imbruglia's Counting Down The Days would be a good Bond opener too, a little tweeking perhaps (and heck, it's already got an ideal Bond film name). Natalie Imbruglia, by the way, would be one of the select choices I'd put forward for a Bond song at the moment. Hey, and Bond girl too, while we're at it
Coldplay's fantastic Talk would be excellent, but only because of the main reason why it wouldn't/couldn't be used as a theme - the Kraftwerk sample. But boy can I see the PTS closing out with that lone guitar riff...
However, I'd still love a Kate Bush theme, and with her back in the recording studio it's at least a very faint glimmer of hope once more.
I'll throw my support in for Goldfrapp mentioned above also.

I really don't see that song as Bondian, Tee Hee. "Believe" from the same album has more Barry-like chord changes (Eb/Cm/Ab), though (as I've said before) "Shoot Down The Moon" from the "Ice On Fire" album out-Bonds them both.
I would rather feel The Liquidator as a song for a Matt Helm movie (linking to Murderers' Row).
Now I am not sure how ripping may apply to John Barry as the man himself easily told how he was inspired by the Peter Gunn theme mood for the James Bond theme arrangement.
I have mentioned her before and would like to raise a hand in favour of Alison Moyet to sing the lead song for Casino Royale.
There is a track on her C.D album "Hometime" called "If You Dont Come Back To Me" that seems to be everything that a classic Bond theme should be. Vocally dramatic, intense and with the pre-requisite soaring string arrangements to quell even the most die-hard dissenters!
...Seriously though, Alf Moyet should have been approached years ago to record a track or two, because when it comes to singing, not many do it better.
Cheers,
Ty.
