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!

Back in her homeland of England, Lily has scored a big hit with the new Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, in her bid to recruit as many of her celebrity pals in her fight against the recent outbreak of knife violence and murder in inner cities throughout the UK.
The 23 year old singer is planning to engage Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis, Jay Z and the Sugababes in her crusade.
Lily’s comments on the her new role as crime fighter show she has thought it through and has an unusually mature attitude on the matter, “My thoughts are with all the families affected by these heinous crimes. We need to have a knife amnesty. And we should put on a big concert to raise awareness and stop the violence.”
Lily’s aim is to stage a concert in an effort to raise funds to help the bereaved families of knife crime and provide schemes to help clear blades off the streets. Nineteen teenagers have been killed in knife attacks in London this year.

The individualistic, striking young R&B singer from the Barbados has categorically stated that she wouldn’t dream of removing her clothes for Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine……well not this week anyway!
Rihanna believes she would become the victim of her mother’s wrath if she posed naked for the world famous men’s magazine. She stated, ‘I am only 20 so my mother would kill me if I posed nude! So when she’s in, maybe, he late 20’s and her mum can no longer land a hefty slap, will Rihanna reconsider?
After all, she has actually gone naked on another occasion but passes that off as art!
Rihanna made a point of telling us about the reasoning behind her body paint photos saying, “When I did that metallic body paint stuff for my video, I didn’t do it to show my body. I didn’t do it for people to like me. I did it because it was a cool visual, unexpected, and it looked hot.”
She added: “I have done a lot of photo shoots for magazines but it’s always great to be shot for a cover because you know that you are looked at as a fashion icon.”
Check back in six years!!
