Garbage, Sheryl Crow, Duran Duran, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner... a variety of the great and the not-so-great have dabbled with Bond themes in the past, and now it seems that Goldfrapp are to join the list of those singing along to silhouettes of nubile ladies dancing slooooooowly.
The band are leading the pack in the race to record the theme to Casino Royale, the first James Bond flick to feature Daniel Craig in the lead 007 role. The group's singer Alison Goldfrapp, pictured, is said to be thrilled. A source spoke to the Daily Mirror:
"Alison and Will (Gregory, bandmate) are absolutely thrilled. Nothing has been signed yet, but they're the hot favourites.
"They're a slightly cooler choice than what you'd expect, but producers are determined to make Casino Royale the edgiest Bond yet and want it to appeal to young people.
"To be asked to contribute to the soundtrack is one thing, but to record the title song is on a different scale in terms of prestige."

Goldfrapp
It should be Portishead
They would make a properly ace bond theme.....
Either that or Lightning Bolt.
Garbage? Sheryl Crow?
I've forgotten them already!! I only remember Madonna because it was so bloody awful. And Bond got chinned during the credits.
I still dont understand why the Lightening Seeds were never asked to 'do' a Bond theme
a terrible waste.
Goldfrapp - one good debut -the rest of the time? chasing an easy buck. But they are old after all
Pulp
should have done one. Yeah.
Pulp did record one as they were shortlisted once
I think it was seductive barry? I may be wrong but im half asleep right now
i was joking about the lightening seeds
surprisingly
the pulp song is 'tomorrow never dies'
urgh
film looks like it'll actually be good, but goldfrapp, alas, are pure shite.
What about Sheena Easton
you didn't mention Sheena Easton
"For your eyes only...."
*ahem*
oh dear
they suck and unfortunately i will have to endure them when going to see !!! and RHCP in derby
Wow
Pulp did a Bond theme? Far out. Gotta get it. But yeah, Goldfrapp would be a good choice
