Sometimes, you have the best blog in the world for me.

I'd always wondered about Alice's "Man With The Golden Gun". I always figured it was an homage - I mean, I can't think a James Bond film would actually want that song. It's not quite the right...everything?

(Next you'll tell me that "The Man Behind The Mask" was actually in a horror movie...wait, it was, wasn't it?)

I am partial to The Fun Lovin' Criminal's version of "We Have All The Time In The World", but that's probably just a personality quirk of mine.

I'll take Mike Patton's Mr. Bungle version of "Thunderball" any day, though.

Me, I like the Iggy Pop cover of "We Have All The Time In the World", on David Arnold's Shaken and Stirred: The Songs of 007, hich also features Pulp covering "All Time High", the theme from Octopussy.

Tom Jones kicked ass! His version still gives me chills.

interesting versions I like the Blondie one and it would have done very well.
Sadly Much as like Cash that sounds like a parody more than a serious take on a bond theme song.

Alices take is nice but just a little weak a little to hip if that's possible for Alice
