Alicia Keys is singing the new Bond theme with Jack White, apparently:
“Hello? Can I speak to — to James?
Oh hey, how you doin? Uh, I feel kinda silly doin’ this,
But um, this is the waitress from the casino on 39th and Lennox
You know, the one with the braids?
Yeah, well I see you on Wednesdays all the time
You come in every Wednesday on your lunch break, I think
And you always order the special, with the martini
And my manager be tripping and stuff
Talking bout we gotta stir ‘em
But I always shake yours
Cause I think you’re kinda sweet.
Anyway you always got on some fly tuxedo
‘n your cufflinks are shining all bright
So, whatchu do? Oh, you’re a spy? Yeah, that’s interesting”
If that doesn’t make any sense, try skipping to 3′40″ in this.

Interestingly the last Bond song was called, You Know My Name.
The title of the new song, Another Way to Die, sounds too much like Live and Let Die, Die Another Day and Tomorrow Never Dies. I think they could have came up with something more original.
Nevertheless, looking forward to QoS coming out. Hope it’s as good as Casino Royale.
