StrawberryBlond 14,577 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 There are still lots of artists out there who would be great to sing a Bond theme and even sing songs that sound like Bond themes but have never been asked. I'm a sucker for a tune that sounds like a Bond theme and I wonder if anyone else has recommendations? Here's mine: Considering this was for a Bond-esque film, the creators knew what they were doing here: Someone with as low a profile as this lady will never be asked to do a theme but so many of her songs sound like this that she should be given the chance anyway: Who can forget Lana Del Rey, who looks and sounds like Bond girl incarnate?: And don't forget that Muse were approached to write for Skyfall but this amazing song was ultimately turned down in favour of Adele (her's is still good but in a different way): Any more suggestions?

androiduser 7,438 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 A number of songs have been recorded for Bond films but not used. "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" by Dionne Warwick and Shirley Bassey was written for Thunderball. Its title refers to a nickname given to Bond by an Italian journalist in 1962. Warwick and Bassey both recorded versions, but halfway through the scoring process, producer Albert Broccoli decided that the film's title must appear in the lyrics, so "Thunderball" was commissioned. The song's melody still plays a prominent role in the score and both singers' versions have appeared on compilations in the 1990s. "Thunderball" by Johnny Cash "Run James Run" by Brian Wilson, intended as a Bond theme, but ultimately released as the eponymous track on the Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds. "You Only Live Twice" by Julie Rogers is included on the 30th-anniversary release of The Best of James Bond. "You Only Live Twice" by Lorraine Chandler appears on R(are) C(ollectable) A(nd Soulful) Volume 2.[ "The Man with the Golden Gun" by Alice Cooper appears on his 1973 album Muscle of Love "For Your Eyes Only" by Blondie appears on their 1982 album The Hunter. "Never Say Never Again" by Phyllis Hyman was intended for Never Say Never Again. "The Living Daylights" by Pet Shop Boys was adapted from a demo theme for The Living Daylights, later reworked as "This Must Be the Place I Waited Years to Leave". It appears on their 1990 album Behaviour. "The Juvenile" by Ace of Base was originally written in 1995 as "The Goldeneye", then rewritten as "The Juvenile" and released in 2002 on Da Capo. "Tomorrow Never Lies" by Pulp, originally titled "Tomorrow Never Dies", was released as a B-side on their 1997 single "Help the Aged", and on the vinyl version of their 1998 album This Is Hardcore. "Tomorrow Never Dies" by Saint Etienne appears on their Built on Sand album. The liner notes state that Pierce Brosnan kept the master tape of the song. Other artists who submitted Tomorrow Never Dies themes include Marc Almond, Swan Lee, the Cardigans and Space. "Man of War" was written by the English band Radiohead in the 1990s.[19] Radiohead submitted it for Spectre, but it was rejected as it had not been written for the film, making it ineligible for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Radiohead wrote another song for the film, "Spectre", but it was rejected as too melancholy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
