David Arnold - "Shaken and Stirred"

(James Bond reinterpreted)

Diamonds are forever - catchy rhythm

Aimee Mann does not do a bad job at "Nobody does it better"

Pulp - "All time high", love his rendering, but it's a love-it-or-hate-it version

"Thunderball" by Martin Fry is good... but kind of very much like the original. Oye, he does this "phrasing" though... not good!

Natacha Atlas (who?) does a fairly ok version of "From Russia with Love" which looses a certain amount of Bond-ness, but adds... Oriental influences. Tiny ones.

Propellerheads bounce off with a techno-ish "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". It has its good points, it has some boring parts.
