Incanus 5,713 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Well Madonna sang the worst Bond song in living memory so I think Robbie can't go much lower (I truly hope so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I have no idea who Tony Christie is, but Williams seems well-suited to sing a Bond song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Whoever doubts that Williams can do a great Bond song needs to check out "Man for all Seasons" from "Johnny English". That one was the far better "Bond" song in 2002."I'm a huge fan of the old school 007 songs like Shirley Bassey with Goldfinger and Tom Jones singing Thunderball, so I tried to give it that authentic sound. We are due to record it in February.""Goldfinger" and "Thunderball" are indeed my favorite Bond songs (together with "Surrender"), so if the new song is in a similar style, that's absolutely fine with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yeah, I was going to mention Johnny English. Also mentioned already is Williams' song Millennium, which uses a bit from Barry's YOLT score. And it's used quite nicely, I might add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgisPodmore 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 It says "Williams wanted for Bond theme tune" at that link.DO YOU KNOW WHAT I THOUGHT THAT MEANT?????~Sturgis, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Indeed, I was also going to mention his efforts on Johnny English.As great as a "traditional" brassy affair would be, I think I'd prefer something else. A ballad, perhaps - not like "All Time High" or "Nobody Does it Better", but a rock ballad with jazz influences like "Live and Let Die" and "The World Is Not Enough". It's also interesting to note that Arnold's not writing the song. I hope he uses it though, along with his own themes. We need another TND from him.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 This news is interesting, but please beware that announcements about who is gonna do the next Bond song almost always turns out to be false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg1138 3 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 A Bowie Bond song - that would be interesting....This news is OK - Robbie is a great singer and Christie obviously has affection for the genre....to those naysayers I ask this - what songs written by Christie have you listened to that put you off him?Sadly though I echo Steef's comment that thought this is the news NOW, it usually changes once or twice before the final version....

TheRuleOfThirds 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 It's David Bowie's turn!No way. Clapton. What'd be even better is if Arnold wrote an instrumental piece like the OHMSS opening creds. Get a cool Bond theme and Clapton's solos...it's gold.

robthehand 3 Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 The latest rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandor 796 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I've just read two weird reports on the title song for Casino Royale. First that George Michael will sing it and second Robbie Williams. Of the two, I would prefer Michael I guess.What is true about these rumors?And on a side note: what main title Bond song did you like most after License To Kill? Me: probably Goldeneye. Not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 At this point it is safe to assume any rumors we here are just that: rumors.Of the two, I think I'd prefer Williams, though.And I don't know what I like most after License to Kill. There's rather a lot of choice. I think it's the worst song of the lot, except for the abysmal Die Another Day.Surrender is pretty good, though.

Sandor 796 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Surrender was good, but it was not used for the main title sequence. Somehow; I can already hear Robbie Williams' Casino Royale in my head. Although I like his music, it's somewhat predictable too. However with George Michael it could be a total mess; a song even weirder than Die Another Day, BUT it could also be a classic. Michael has the potential, but I don't know whether he will go all the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 I raised the topic here. It's definitely just a rumour at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson 1 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 It wouldn't surprise me in the least given some of the choices they have already made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
