For those of you who didn't know, Ace Of Base originally recorded the Bond theme for GoldenEye, but their then record label rejected it! They released it years later, changing some of the lyrics (the chorus is virtually unchanged), and renaming it from "The GoldenEye" to "The Juvenile".

The link provided links to the original audio demo for GoldenEye. Very Happy

Interesting, but I don't really like it.
"I just like you as a friend"?? what the...?
I really approve the selection of the final theme over this one.

That one definitely doesn't cut it! Tina Turners was quite good. Here's one tied to GE:

I prefer Tina Turner's song, but I kinda like how it doesn't used the generic Bond theme formula, but STILL sound like a Bond theme, if that makes any sense! Smile

Also, on the subject of unused Bond themes, I discovered that Blondie originally recorded the Bond theme for "For Your Eyes Only". Check it out!

The original For Your Eyes Only is legendary, but I kinda like this one too!

The final songs from both films are a lot better than what was cut. They knew what they were doing.
