James Bond SPECTRE Theme: Replace Sam Smith with Radiohead
The Issue
The James Bond theme songs matter. They are part of our shared heritage, threads with enrich the weave of our lives. Common currency which we can all buy into.
In the past 53 years, there have been many fantastic songs which have graced the Bond opening sequence. You probably have one of your favourites playing on your internal jukebox as you read this.
I am sure that Sam Smith is a very nice lad. But his theme for SPECTRE is dullness incarnate. A safe, no-drama, lowest common denominator, boring beige-athon.
Industry rumour has it that Radiohead HAVE actually recorded a theme for SPECTRE. This may or may not be true, but it is clear that Radiohead does not produce beige, bland and boring music. Also, they have Jonny Greenwood in the band, who knows a thing or two about writing for movies (he has six soundtracks under his belt). It is obvious that a Radiohead BOND theme would be a wonderful thing indeed.
It isn't too late. Please, Sam Mendes, MGM and Sony. Reverse this wrong.
Replace Sam Smith with Radiohead.
