The 4M dance floor opened yesterday if you’re wondering where it’s at but don’t hurry off just yet. 😉

In 2002, Pierce Brosnan returned as 007 for the fourth and final time. I don’t remember the theme song, Die Another Day by Madonna. After listening to it again after all these years I understand why I don’t remember it. In my opinion, it’s definitely not one of the best James Bond theme songs but I’ll work with what I have in this round and try to come up with a couple of suit able covers.

SecondHangSongs is a good resource for finding covers. Unfortunately the site wasn’t a big help this time. I wound up using YouTube to score both of cover artists. I was happy to find a male version of Die Another Day. Listen to Q-Kryst, then let me know what you think.

Imagine my surprise when I found another male vocal of Die Another Day on YouTube. It’s just the artist at the piano and while it doesn’t have the big electric synthesizers or other bells and whistles plugged into the mix I rather like it. In fact, I think it’s more suited for as a James Bond theme song. List to Ziggy Venneman to see if he gets your vote.

I invite you to visit other BoTBers with possible showdowns going on today.

I mentioned earlier that I don’t like Die Another Day too much. I found it interesting what Wiki shared…

“It [Die Another Day] was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song and the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording,but also for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song of 2002 (while Madonna herself won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress for her cameo)”.

How something is voted for the best and worst blows my mind but there you have it!
