Kanye and Robbie have sampled 007, but who else could remix a Bond theme?
50 Cent - The Man Wit tha Golden Gun He's been riddled with bullets and loves the shiny stuff, so who could blame him for wanting the ultimate in bling firearms? Fiddy recently spent $200,000 bulletproofing his cars (helped by Q Branch?), but we all know that the sound of him rapping over a Lulu (nice old lady of pop, ask ya folks) is all you'd need to keep potential enemies away. And look! The song goes: "No-one can catch him, no hit man can match him." And how many phrases like that are at home in the record label HQ AND the street-based shooting range!
Tatu - From Russia With Love Tatu may have spent the last few years lost in the pop equivalent of Siberia (actually, we think they have been in Siberia), but what better way to relaunch the girls' career than by mixing up the lounge croonings of Matt Munro with their squirrely vocals. "Still my tongue tied, young pride, would not let my love for you show." Admit it. It sounds like something out of 'All the Things She Said' doesn't it? Let's see a show of hands in agreement. GUARDS! SEIZE THE POP PERVS!
Oasis - Thunderball Wonderwall Although they probably don't need the money, Oasis could surely cash in on the similarities between this and their greatest rock anthem. "Cos after all, you're my Thunderball" sounds like a winning lyric to us (not to be confused with winning the lottery, though!). "His fight goes on and on and on, But he thinks that the fight is worth it all," sang pop granddad Tom Jones back in the swinging sixties. Reminds us of that time Liam lost his front teeth in a brawl in Germany... Sigh!
Marilyn Manson - GoldenEye Marilyn Manson's love of crazy contact lenses may have nothing to do with the deadly satellites in this movie, but come on! Mazza's got that scary Bond villain look about him when he's just lounging around in his jammies! Imagine what he'd look like after six hours in make up! He's even taken to wearing steel teeth, just like 007's greatest comedy nemesis, Jaws. Plus, if he can get away with covering the likes of Soft Cell and Depeche Mode, he'll make mincemeat of that U2/Tina Turner collaboration. Bring it on!
Michael Jackson - Never Say Never(land) Again It may not be in the heart of a hollowed-out volcano, but Michael Jackson's plush Californian hideout is the perfect cover for a Bond villain's lavish lair. And what with that killer overdraft he's gotta pay off, all Jacko needs to promote his Bond-themed-park is to rework that sleepy soundtrack into a catchy jingle and he'll be laughing all the way to the bank. He could even ask 'M'inem to produce it... See what we did there?
