Was “Glamorous Life” a Bond song?

We know that Gaga writes alot of music and sometimes I think she keeps a backlog of songs and reworks them. No shame in that. 
 

I know a couple years ago there was this discussion about who the next Bond would be and there were talks about him being black instead of white or maybe him not being a him- but a she. 
 

and if you listen to Glamorous Life, it definitely gives the iconic chords and melodies that would be present- even the type of instrumentation- in a Bond song. 
 

I wonder if Gaga was seeing the potential of the Bond brand, and knowing that it can successfully give you an Oscar, wrote potential music for it. It just is SO BOND to me. And then maybe now that they have picked another white guy it looks like- she went ahead and decided to rework it for TDWP2. 
 

I could be wrong. But does anyone hear the Bond vibes of Glamorous Life???

Probably not, but I could see why you might think that. Still not IN LOVE with the song, but I could see/hear it, in moments.

Would love for LG to do a Bond song in the future- she's one of the few artists rn who seem perfectly-poised for it. I just wish the franchise was still with Eon & not Amazon. Uncharted territory moving forward... & probably not for the better.

I'm praying the next Bond song shakes up the current formula, rather than just copying Adele's approach. Who better than LG to try?

(Kind of off-topic but this always felt like a Bond song to me)

It doesn't have usual Bond vibe to it, so I'd say it isn't.

Gave me strong Bond vibes too! If you add the usual Bond orchestra bits it could very well have been one.

The bridge and going back into the chorus really sells the Bond sound. I think its a song she potentially had just written and it sounds that way... I think if she made a Bond song it would be OUT OF THIS WORLD.

No way. It was definitely part of Mayhem when it was almost called Perfect Celebrity. She name checks "Applause" and "Fame" in the song. It's a meta-Gaga song about fame.

I would not think so but I would love her to do the theme for the next new Bond, would be amazing. 

Skyfall, Writings on the Wall, and Live and Let Die are my top 3 :ororomunroe:
