Jarvis Cocker on Bond song: Sheryl Crow took it from us

Jarvis Cocker says he can "never forgive" US singer Sheryl Crow for taking the 鈥狟ond鈥� theme away from Pulp in 1997.

"We got so close. Sheryl took it away from us," the band's frontman joked to the 麻豆社's Colin Paterson.

Cocker added that Sam Smith would do a "good job" of recording the theme for new Bond film Spectre, but was not sure he had the same vocal "strength" for it as Adele, who recorded the previous one.

"Adele can really belt out a song. Sam Smith singing; the strength of it tends to be that more kind of intimate kind of thing. And Bond themes tell to be a bit dramatic and brassy. The interface there will be interesting."
