Personally I've always thought the James Bond producers missed a trick in not getting Jeff and the band to write and perform a theme song,especially in the peak 74-79 period when Jeff was at the top of his game. That big orchestral sound was made for it and I reckon Jeff could have easily come up with somening to rival Live and Let Die! If your looking for a big dramatic sound, I reckon Standing in the Rain (obviously with different appropriate lyrics) would have made a great theme song.

This would have been great. Going through the ELO songs from like 73-83, these would have made good Bond themes....
Showdown Everyone's Born To Die Fire On High Poker Livin Thing...(just imagine the opening violin playing at the end of Bond's battle with some supervillain) Standin in the Rain Last Train To London Don't Bring Me Down From the End of the World Hold on Tight Secret Messages Danger Ahead No Way Out

Oh yes! Jeff was just born to write Bond themes.
Who's doing the next? Surely it's Jeff's turn. After all he's very popular at the moment.

I think that from Chippa's list From the End of the World would be perfect as a Bond theme. I can just imagine it with a playful set of images during the opening credits. And it the way it tails off it could segue perfectly into that those classic three notes which usually lead into the first scene

(Well, I've had TIME on constantly.) Couldn't agree more! Perfect Bond theme! They need to have Jeff do the next one.

I reckon Steppin' Out may have been a good choice..... slightly shortnened..... and with slightly altered lyrics!
