Old Friends for Sale, maybe?

That's the first song that came to mind.

It wasnt even that long ago! TP will have the link. Maybe "The Love We Make" or "Strays of the World" or "The Grand Progression" or "The Dance"

I think you're on the right track with "The Love We Make," although the lyrics would need altering. Unless the Bond movie was about a drug dealer. Because "put down the needle, put down the spoon," doesn't reek of a 007 film.

But I think something dramatic and ethereal like that tracks nicely.

"Live 4 Love" is certainly a bigger contender, but again - some lyrical changes. Also, "Still Would Stand All Time" could be in the running. "Solo" with some Bond strings in it would be great.

Frankly, even "Diamonds and Pearls" could be in there. All that orchestrating feels Bond-esque.

Of course, we're just thinking of existing songs. We don't know what's in the vault or what he would've come up with.

I think "Beautiful Strange" would make a great tune for the opening score, maybe with slightly different lyrics though.

Good one! Clare or someone could put in some of those Bond-esque strings or orchestration. BOOM.

idk if he could have done a good one

many good artists have done bad or boring bond songs in recent times

and idk if prince was that good at writing purposely for other peoples projects

it would depend on how much he was into bond i think.

was he a fan?

of the songs that might make you think he could do one, maybe diamonds and pearls like someone else said.

it would have to be something that gets you amped.

or something dramatic.

empty room could work.

im sure if he was picked in the 80s, he could have done a song like duran duran or a-ha did. a sort of epic pop banger.but if he didnt wanna do we are the world, would he have done a bond song? doubtful.

I agree; it would make a good fit with that opening sequence. New lyrics also.

I think he would've stepped up to the plate. His work for the Batman movie perfectly captured the mood of the film, so why not a Bond theme? As someone else pointed out, the music for "The Love We Make" has some Bondish melodic intervals.

My mind keeps reading the title of this thread as 'Would Prince have done a good Bong song?'
