4. Ace Of Base's "Goldeneye"
https://youtu.be/AFIm-90hZrA The song that would be the title track for GoldenEye has already featured here but had either U2 and Tina Turner been involved in a life-changing accident before recording, it would have almost certainly been this. Ace of Base tendered their song The GoldenEye to one-time Bond composer Eric Serra for inclusion. He's French which explains his gauche approach to music in the film. At times it feels like a low-budget European short film but that would have suited the Swedes perfectly. It definitely feels 90s, right the way down to the predictable key change near the end, and is quite Bondian but it never really grasps the sense of occasion or one of Bond's key musical tropes, the element of suspense. Luckily Bono, The Edge and Tina Turner were kept in cotton wool until the recording was done and The GoldenEye stayed behind the emergency glass. Later repackaged as The Juvenile (we see what you did there) it's not the worst song kicked to the kerb by Bond producers but by today's high standards it does sound thin and dated.
