No solace for new Bond theme

[G-Lexington]

>>>it's not the worst - that distinction belongs to a-ha.

Sorry, I still really like this song. I think it shreds the Madonna song to ribbons.



Worst Bond theme? Well, there's the snoozefest "All Time High" from Octopussy. They obviously were going for "Nobody Does It Better II". They missed.

Have to give them points for effort...at least they tried to be original.

Since when "original" means "a complete failure"?

 

[Paxton]

Something can still be original and really bad.

You know what? You're right!

>>> I'm the only one I know who likes a-ha's "The Living Daylights", too.

No you aren't

>>>And the lyrics don't even make sense, even if you apply abstract thinking...

The only Bond single to reach #1 in America:

Meeting you
With a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places
Feel the chill
Nightfall covers me
But you know the plans I'm making
Still over sea
Could it be the whole earth opening wide
A sacred why
A mystery gaping inside
The weekends why
Until we...

Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire

Choice for you
Is the view to a kill
Between the shades
Assasination standing still
First crystal tears
Fall of snowflakes on your body
First time in years
To drench your skin
With lovers rosy stain
A chance to find
A phoenix for the flame
A chance to die
But can we...

Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
When all we see
Is a view to a kill

Seriously - huh?

First crystal tears
Fall of snowflakes on your body

A chance to find
A phoenix for the flame

Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams

You just can't help but love these lines.
