Great minds think alike, or what?! The “Skyfall” song is out, and Adele is the singer. What else can I say? Two favorites, Adele and Bond together… Be one of the first to hear it, here. I must be such a huge Bond fan that I got this link hours ago, when only a few had actually listened to the song… Heeheehee. :) It’s very retro, 1960’s-ish sounding. And all advance leaks suggest a really good movie for the franchise’s 50th year. Can’t wait. In theaters Oct 31, 2012.

The first thing that popped into my head was “It’s like “Goldfinger” brought forward to the 21st century <3"
(I do wonder if they’ll bring back those silhouetted ladies doing what looked like naked gymnastics, bwa-ha-ha! And for the record, the ancients really did gymnastics in the buff)
007 and Adele … that makes two of us, MM!
Oh, chills…reminiscent of Shirley Bassey…a milder voice…thanks,MM..
I’ve been hearing this song all morning on the radio. Nice soulful melody.
great song! i can’t wait to see the movie
Reminds me of Goldfinger. Very retro.
All over the news radio and now the evening news…YOU broke it first,MM….I was 9 years old when the first Bond movie was shown…
can’t wait to see the movie and your page about it … :)!
Nice! Somehow reminds me of “Goldfinger”, the Duran Duran song….
soul! adele and 007 :)
So I remembered just a moment ago to search for Adele’s Skyfall theme song on youtube. Then I realized I haven’t visited MarketManila for a while now (in my mind, Skyfall=Bond=MarketMan!) — sure enough, first post I see is this :) Not sure why, but reminds me more of “Diamonds Are Forever”…
winterhon – yes that too!
Can’t wait to see the movie!! Skyfall theme song remind me of the old 007 sound tracks.
What better song to celebrate James Bond 007’s 50th Anniversary! I was only 6 years old when he first came on the silver screen! WOW! Thanks MM! Now, I can drink the martini, shaken, not stirred!
@winterhon…my thoughts exactly when I heard Adele was singing Skyfall theme song.. I was very sure Marketman will have posted it…we guessed right…it’s here!!!
Just in case anyone is interested… – Skyfall on Set. Here’s the link.. https://www.watchseries-online.eu/2012/10/skyfall-on-set.html
Thanks for this great info, MM! :=)
love Adele!, but I wonder if Amy Winehouse is still around would they have used her?
Sounds like Count Basie & his Orchestra
Hello, is the branch near the airport open for breakfast on Nov 1?
Teza, yes, all our branches are open as usual on Nov. 1…
just clicked on the link and listened to the song. I love it. Thanks for sharing!
We all love the james bond movies, and who doesn’t? I’m pretty sure most of us daydream of becoming a spy (i do)… it’s so cool… yeah, the song is so retro and i like it, but you know MM, of all the James bond movie theme songs, the one that i like the most is the song “For your eyes only”… can’t wait to see the movie!!!!
MM, NPR ran a series of features on Bond last week, https://www.npr.org/series/162180446/james-bond-at-50 . Can you tell whether a martini is shaken, not stirred? :)
ykmd, I like mine shaken, definitely. See my post on it, here. Heeheehee. :) And yes, I absolutely agree Sean Connery ranks first, Daniel Craig second.
I should have known to check the archives first :) I also enjoyed the feature where they interviewed a physicist about Bond’s gadgets, like the invisible car, etc.
Just heard it, thanks for linking to it MM, it reminds me at times of the Shirley Bassey Bond songs.
