*sarcastically* Ooh, ooh who wants to hear ‘Another Way to Die’, the theme tune from the new James Bond film, ‘Quantum of Solace’ [Website – Amy Grindhouse].
I did…
Ever since I wrote the story a while back about Amy Winehouse throwing away her shot at writing the theme, I have been kind of curious as to what it would sound like.
Oh woe is me!
I listened to this turd, but only got about 45 seconds in…
That point, my friends, is where Jack White starts singing. At least, I assume that is what that horrible noise is. I got that far in and that terrible whining noise made me rush to turn my speakers off.
That is him isn’t it?
Either that or my speakers ’sploded/ someone is strangling a cat somewhere in mah hoose.
The song is just what you’d expect up until that point – not good, not bad – it just plods along and does its job quite nicely. And then the bloody singers come and piss all over the jolly-nice-instrumental-guff that is going on in the background and they spoil everything!
I’ll listen to this again once my ears stop bleeding and I might change this post to something a bit nicer (I probably won’t be doing that akshully but since I just totally shit all over their song, I feel like I should say it?)
UPDATE - Seems I am a bit late to the party. BBC’s Radio One debuted the new James Bond theme song last week (shittocks - who knew?)
“Another Way to Die,” a collaboration between Jack White from the White Stripes and Alicia Keys, will roll during the credits of the twenty second (yes… 22, count ‘em mudda funker) Bond film, “Quantum of Solace,” when it hits cinemas November 7.
