Amy Winehouse Round-Up: Bond Theme Taken, Not Hers

There were reports circulating that Winegums was to record the themesong to the next James Bond flick, seeing as she is a diva in the Shirley Bassey/Nancy Sinatra/Paul McCartney vein, but those hopes have been dashed – by the soundtrack’s producers.

Turns out the Bond clan aren’t keen for nu-soul and instead wish to please Bam Margera by offering the gig to his favourite band.

To quote Rove, what the…?

Longtime 007 soundtrack writers David Arnold, 45, and Don Black, 69, have changed their minds.

They now want Ville Valo of gloom rockers HIM to sing the theme tune to 39-year-old Daniel Craig’s second Bond outing. Ville, 30, was approached by the Bond team at the BMI Awards dinner at London’s Dorchester Hotel, where he scooped a gong for his hit Wings Of A Butterfly.

If we needed any further proof that the Bond franchise was desperately out of touch then this is probably it.

Oh well, perhaps Winegums can attach herself to a similarly big-ticket project, like, er, how about the theme song for Defamer Australia?
