In case you've been living under a rock as of late, you may not have been subject to the symptoms of Bond Fever. The sensation (or illness, depending on your viewpoint!) has been clamping its jaws around Britain and in due course, the rest of the world. Humming Adele, hallucinations of spy adventures, and rabid foaming at the mouth of the sight of Daniel Craig in swim shorts.
OK, OK, I'll stop it now, but recently it has been everywhere, with whole shows dedicated to it (Graham Norton, I'm looking at you!). No doubt I'll be infected with Bond Fever when I go to see the latest film, Skyfall, on Sunday - according to my Bond fanatic friend, it's absolutely amazing!
With the Adele's Bond theme, 'Skyfall', gaining momentum on airwaves, it seems fitting to dedicate this Flashback Friday (Saturday!) to perhaps one of the more unusual Bond songs (aside from Jack White and Alicia Key's pretty awful 'Another Way to Die'). Garbage seem a quite an odd and unexpected candidate for the prestiege of singing a Bond theme song, but take a moment to listen to the video above and remind yourself. It's a classy song, reminiscent of the typical 'Bond theme', sexy and foreboding, and as a Bond theme song, it immortalised Garbage, who were never one of those huge bands, as part of a national institution forevermore. For many, it is considered an honour and a career highlight.
Garbage are currently in the middle of a world tour. Unfortunately, they've already passed through the UK, but there's dates left in South America, Europe, and Australia, with one date in California.
