Watch This: Alternate 'Quantum of Solace' Theme Song
Filed under: Comedy, Fandom, James Bond, Trailers and Clips
So we already know that White Stripes' frontman Jack White and Alicia Keys are all set to record the latest Bond song, titled Another Way to Die, but what about those folks who missed the cut. Ya know, the songs that almost were ... or tried to be ... or pretended to care? Case in point: You simply have to check out Joe Cornish's proposed version of the Quantum of Solace theme song up above because it's just ... fabulous. Seriously, not only does he work in a number of plot points that bring us up to date on the story and the characters, but he also works in the title of the movie. I mean, sh*t, shouldn't the theme song for a movie include the title of the movie? If not, you might find people who like the name of the song (ie: Another Way to Die) better than the film's title (ie: Quantum of Solace).
But enough babbling from me -- check out the video above, listen real closely to those captivating lyrics and maybe we can get enough people together to convince Bond producers to use this somewhere in the sequel.

A duet is a horrible idea, very Celine Dion-Peabo Bryson. Get Bowie or Jarvis Cocker(who, with Pulp recorded perhaps the best rejected Bond theme ever). Or better yet, get Shirley Bassey back. But until we are subjected to the next
"commercial" theme song, Joe Cornish with his "Something of Boris" will do. And yes, there are days when I, too, miss Roger Moore. "The Spy Who Loved Me", anyone?

I suggest also listening to Adam Buxton's song: http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/adamandjoe/song_wars.shtml

He's going to seek revenge on the people who were responsible for the death of his love (Eva Green) and thus gain a quantum of solace. Why don't people get that?

We get the title (and how Quantum is also the name of some rival group or something like that), but it's a terribly cumbersome title. That's the issue.

And yes the song is sorta funny.
Also, quantum of solace = iota of peace; a soupcon of 'hey i killed a bunch of bad guys and avenged my lover's death while protecting the secrets of the crown!! Martinis all around!!'.

Very British to poke fun at something without sounding like you mean to poke fun at something.

I say get MC Chris to do it. If he can do this (http://www.atbar.com/04/11/2008/fetts-vette-the-best-star-wars-rap-ever/#more-208) with a side character from Star Wars, imagine what he can do with Bond.
