James Bond Vocal Cover: From YouTube With Love
Just hearing the James Bond theme song might bring back memories of classic films in the franchise — or get you excited for future ones, like Skyfall. While it might not be Adele, this a cappella theme song is pretty impressive. The video above — created by Nick McKaig, with some help from Trudbol — is 100 percent vocals and shaken, not stirred. Listen to the song and tell us in the comments which James Bond theme song is the best. BONUS: The 10 Coolest Gadgets in 50 Years of James Bond 10 Best Bond Gadgets Aston Martin DB5 (Goldfinger, 1964) The classic Bond spy car, the Aston Martin appeared in five films total. Its original incarnation included bulletproof panels, oil slick, smoke screen, machine guns, rotating license plates, tire slashers, a homing screen for tracking the bad guy, radar receiver, bumper basher and of course the passenger ejector seat. Attache Case (From Russia With Love, 1963) The first official Bond gadget, this case boasts two hidden rods of ammunition (20 rounds each), a three-piece sniper rifle, a concealed throwing knife and a disguised tear gas cartridge that incapacitates anyone who opens the case incorrectly. Golden Gun (The Man With The Golden Gun, 1974) Francisco Scaramanga’s weapon of choice was not a Bond gadget per se, but it represents the entire Bond series’ lavishness and violence, while also functioning as a pen and a lighter. Jetpack (Thunderball, 1965) The ultimate futuristic gadget/escape vehicle, jet packs are still just a dream almost 50 years later. Well, unless you have $100,000 or an iPhone. Lotus Esprit (The Spy Who Loved Me, 1977) It’s no Aston Martin, but the Esprit (pronounced Es-Pree) could drive underwater and featured a periscope, missiles, harpoons and mines. No word yet on whether the redesigned 2013 Esprit will have harpoons. Re-Breather (Thunderball, 1965 and Die Another Day, 2002) Two Bonds — Connery and Brosnan — used this gadget to breathe underwater like a Jedi. Die Another Day featured brief appearances of gadgets from throughout the Bond franchise, including that glorious jetpack. Bubble Suit (The World Is Not Enough, 1999) Q has a talent for predicting precisely what might go wrong on 007’s next mission. Not only is this inflating jacket the perfect tool for surviving an avalanche – it instantly provides a cozy, romantic bubble to set the mood. Ericsson Mobile Phone (Tomorrow Never Dies, 1997) Bond’s first true mobile phone could read fingerprints, pick locks, featured a remote control for his BMW 750iL, and doubled as a 2,000-volt taser. Still waiting on that app. Laser Wristwatch (GoldenEye, 1995) Bond has also rocked a magnetic watch, Buzz-saw watch, detonator watch, pager watch, explosive charge watch, liquid crystal TV watch and grappling hook watch. Laser Camera (License to Kill, 1989) Fires a laser when the shutter is snapped, and as a bonus, produces a photograph showing the skeletons of anyone in the frame. Still waiting on that app, too.
