[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 313431, member: 8"] Bond-drunk and in a pudddle on the floor, that's how the audience should feel when the end credits roll and that's why I think it could have been a great closing theme. Even a lovely song like [I]You Only Live Twice[/I] has something aggressive in it, a demand disguised as a seduction but with an underlying warning as if to say "but you really [I]shouldn't[/I] listen to me". That lovely Nancy and her diabolical victim-blaming. I don't know how to quote from quote: [I][B]Oh yes, money and popularity. Sheryl Crow is way more [S]mediocre[/S] mainstream, and, well, let’s not beat around the bush: Hollywood was still unquestionably homophobic back in the 1990s, and so the first openly gay singer of a Bond main title didn’t happen in 1997 as the film’s composer David Arnold had envisaged[/B][/I] Funny, the homophobic part never crossed my mind but I did consider the idea that, with Sheryl Crow as the promoting front, they had a prettier face to sell. I guess that means I'm not evil, just shallow. another quote from quote: [B][I]And let’s just talk about lang’s incredibly commanding vocal performance for a minute[/I][/B] After "Surrender" I mindlessly clicked on a suggested video of a live performance by k.d., and it was so good that I didn't even notice it was that detestable "Hallelujah" song.
