I didn’t mind the Alicia Keys/Jack White combo on the QoS intro, but I’ve always wanted to use a Reverend song for a Bond intro and I think I finally found my opportunity. And by “don’t mind” I mean that I’m not compelled to riot and overturn cars every time I hear Alicia Keys croon “shoot ’em up bang bang.” Minor, manageable rage only. Instead of that nonsense, let’s get our Rockabilly on.

Let’s just go ahead and pretend that Madonna never turned the title credits for Die Another Day into a dancehall and admit that this song is much preferable and a better fit. Mitch Miller would have been a better fit than half-assed Madonna house music. But this… this is my George Lucas Director’s Edit had I been the director of Die Another Day instead of Lee Tamahori, except awesome.

This one seemed obvious, I suppose. Nonetheless I plucked the low hanging fruit.

After trying just about every Grace Jones song I could find, I wound up watching the “Weapon of Choice” video just because I was sharing clips of random Christopher Walken appearances and wondered how well the song would fit over the A VIEW TO A KILL titles. I had to do a little video manipulation for syncing cues and overall timing, but I’m pretty happy with the results… even if I am a little embarrassed about the obvious connection. Sometimes, however, the low-hanging fruit are the juiciest. I don’t know though. Maybe that’s actually true. I’m not horticulturalist. Are you? Maybe Christopher Walken is. Ask him if you ever bump into him in the halls.

Have you ever thought that Paul McCartney needed more guitar in his title track for Live and Let Die? Did you think that maybe the Guns ‘n f’n Roses’ version of “Live and Let Die” might have been superfluous? (No? Me either.) If you’re generally discontented, how about sampling this title track switcheroo courtesy of Keith Bodayla (@theactualkeith) featuring the one and only Jimi Hendrix.

Replace Sir Paul? Why not? Sometimes even the classics need a day off. I knew immediately which song I wanted to use… thematics and all that fire jazz led me to The Cult’s “Fire Woman” immediately. I really wanted to use a remix I had on vinyl called the “L.A. Remix,” but that version failed to hit the cues without significant editing. I returned to the album cut. With minimal tinkering with the start and a fade out at the end, this one fell into place naturally.
