The new James Bond song...
- Thread starter Rincewiend

It is hard to judge on one listen. However it sounds all over the place in terms of melody. It might be catchy, time will tell. i don't feel compelled to buy it or even to make the effort to listen to it again.
I always thought somebody like The Manic Street Preachers would be good at a bond song.
I would like to here some of the othere pitches for the gig. I always liked the song Pulp did for Tomorrow Never Dies which lost out to Sheryl Crow ( http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=ABxAdaF0tzA ).

You're gonna make some enemies around here by stating that. I know there are plenty of people here (myself included) who think YKMN is one of the best Bond themes.
Seconded.
I halfway like this song and halfway don't, but I get the feeling it'll work in the context of the opening sequence.
And I like "You Know My Name" too. For the same reasons I halfway like this song -- it's got classic, jazzy riffs that sound like they'd be right at home in a long lost Connery flick.

It's an odd song, starts off well but just seems to descend into chaos by the end (which is probably intentional but doesn't help it sound good) Be interesting to see what it looks like with swirling lady sillohettes on screen 
Chalk up another fan of 'You Know My Name' hated it first time I heard it but have loved it ever since!

I like it quite a lot. I don't think it's an amazing but it's certainly catchy. I've found it on reasonably heavy rotation lately.
I don't think this would quite fly in recent Bond..
Bullshit, it would; it's one of the best Bond themes ever.

All right, hold on tight now... set your hopes up way too high...
It's shite. Total shite. Like really bad
You Know My Name is only about a million times better.
They should have just used Joe Cornish's Quantum of Solace song-

Tonnes better. If I ever end up buying the DVD of QOL, I'll play this over the credits instead

Weird Al wrote my favorite non-Bond theme song:

By the way, this opening sequence is the ONLY thing funny about Spy Hard. The rest of the movie is terrible, IMHO (for those of you who haven't seen it and are hoping to dig up an undiscovered gem).

Thirded.
I loved "You Know My Name." This new song sucks.
I love "The Living Daylights." I've had that song stuck in my head for days now!
I show that to absolutely everyone who will listen!
