The CASINO ROYALE Song: Shaken Or Stirring??



Merrick again…

Slaine wrote in with a heads up for AICN readers: a YouTube sampling of the opening title song of CASINO ROYALE. It’s called “You Know My Name” & it’s from Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Audioslave.

I don’t hate this, but it doesn’t knock me out either. Sounds like the opening song to a video game. I don’t mind them going for a “new sound” to match Bond’s “new feel”, but this song…as a song…does nothing for me. I just listened to the entirety of the tune, and have already forgotten it.

If you look really carefully at Tiffany Stone’s website, you can find a link to hear the whole shebang!

Thanks again to Slaine for the message!
