One would have thought with 21 other James Bond movies under their belt the producers of the latest Bond movie would have found the task of nailing down an outstanding theme song for Quantum of Solace would have been a synch!
But its proving more difficult than getting James Bond to commit to a woman!
So, with the list of modern day performers rapidly depleting in their search the producers are now going retro in their consideration of performers.
Names like Annie Lennox and Duran Duran are being banded around in a bid to add their magic touch to the new Bond movie theme.
No final choice has yet been made but with the release of the movie now only four months before it premieres, this musical mishap is becoming an issue.
Duran Duran of course already have experience in the field of Bond themes with their hit of the same name from the 1985 Bond movie, A View to a Kill.
Other greats who could be considered for the task, who are blasts from the past include, Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner, Paul McCartney, Madonna and Tom Jones, all of who, unlike the most recent choice for the job, Amy Winehouse, are mature enough to handle the job without being permanently high!

It cant have come as any surprise to either Amy Winehouse, her parents or the organisers of the Grammy Awards when our favourite rehab inmate was refused a visa for entry to the United States ahead of Sunday’s Grammy Awards.
Although it may come as a disappointment to fans as well as Amy herself, it wouldn’t send out a good message to other drug users that all is well with the world even when you abuse the law.
Perhaps the message will filter through Amy’s mashed potato brain now that she needs to get sorted out and behave as a descent memebr of society.
With 6 Grammy nominations ranging from, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Rehab,” Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Back to Black, to Best New Artist, Amy Winehouse will now attend the awards in via satellite to the Grammys.
Winehouse will leave the rehab clinic where she has been for the past 2 weeks to prepare for her performance and Winehouse herself has released a statement saying, “I’m raring to go and really excited to be performing at my first Grammy Awards. I’d like to thank everyone for their support over the last couple of weeks. I’m really sorry I can’t be there but I appreciate that I’m being given a second chance via satellite.”
Amy’s lack of attendance at the awards will see her missing tributes to established stars such as Beyoncé, the Foo Fighters, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner and a tribute to the Beatles.
