OH NOOOOOO... What crap is this? I know it's always everyone to his taste, but this? I don't like it at all!

The song is a$$, yes.

HOly hell, I would rather they picked Yanni to do the song than that trite. Well, at least when the song is playing, there will be naked women silhouettes dancing across the screen.

I agree with jamesdalton .... and if there's one thing dalton knows, dalton knows music. And he punches harder than Eddie Vedder (but not Chris Cornell). But NOBODY punches harder than Kim Thayill.

This is the first Bond tune in about 15 years that hasn't been instantly dismissable. And I couldn't care less about all the anti-Daniel Craig propaganda, this is also the first Bond movie since maybe License To Kill that I'm actually going "Jeez, y'know, I can't wait to see this!"

When was the last time (if ever) that a Bond theme didn't find its lyrics and title from the name of the film? Interesting.

All I can think of is the Beatles song "You Know My Name" :-)

Wow, I think we have a brand new champion for cheesiest Bond theme song. Timd13, you're right, I think Yanni would've been more hardcore than this wannabe cool shit. At least it's not going to deter me from seeing this film.

The only thing that could have made this song worse was to have Adam Duritz sing it.

What the hell is up with the Casino poster? It looks like a CGI body with Daniel's face glued on.

A: Octopussy. Song was "All time High"

Before that, Spy Who Loved Me. The song was actually called "Nobody does it better."

Before that, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, whose song was "We have all the time in the world by Louis Armstrong."
