Would Prince have done a good Bond song? In the absence of anything from the Estate, it’s time for another boring thread. Would Prince have done a good Bond song? And what existing Prince songs would have made a decent Bond song and made a good Bond movie title. Old Friends for Sale, maybe? Pussy Control (movie title, not the song) Scarlet Pussy. (See above) Give ‘em what they love might have been ok too. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

This question has been asked before at this site. My answer was "Live For Love" from the Diamonds & Pearls lp. |

My answer was "Live For Love" from the Diamonds & Pearls lp. Good suggestion for a song and Bond title. Just searched. Yes, lots of suggestions for Planet Earth which would be great. Movie would have to be called “in the palm of your hand” Colonised Mind would be good too. [Edited 1/14/23 12:32pm] If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

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’m rarely on here anymore though. The Love We Make is a good shout. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

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

I don't think any of the Prince songs I've heard would make a great Bond song. The closest to a Bond-sounding song I can think of is Old Friends For Sale. But even then, it wouldn't be ever considered a "good" Bond song. But I have no doubt that if he'd ever been asked to write a song for a Bond movie then he could have written a great one. But it would have do be something he wrote specifically for the project and not just a previously recorded song. As a side note, if you ever want to hear a great James Bond type song, look up the song "Snake Eater" from Metal Gear Solid 3. It's the best James Bond song there never was. | |

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. [Edited 1/15/23 2:22am] |

It’s a bit random but the U Will B demo with Andy Allo gives me Bond vibes. Fully produced with strings etc could’ve had potential |

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.

Now has anyone got the bootleg of the Harry Potter theme by Prince, Warden in the Prison of Azkaban? There may or may not be something coming! |

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

Side bar. Janelle Monae would do an epic Bond song. If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

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. +e |

I would never have thought of Beautiful Strange - but now that I have, you’re absolutely right. In the same vein, When Eye Lay My Hands on U would be a good choice. I can see the Bond title sequences playing over both those songs. Hundalasiliah! |

My mind keeps reading the title of this thread as 'Would Prince have done a good Bong song?' [Edited 1/17/23 4:48am] |
