Radiohead’s unused Bond theme for Spectre is what the movie needed
Popular rock band Radiohead were asked to record a theme song for the James Bond movie Spectre, but it was not used. Sam Smith’s Writing’s on the Wall was the theme used for the movie instead.
Rock band Radiohead has offered a surprise Christmas gift to their fans -- a new song, which was initially recorded for the latest James Bond film Spectre.
Thom Yorke, frontman of the band, said they were asked to write the theme for the twenty fourth James Bond film last year, but it “didn’t work out” well, reports hollywoodreporter.com.

“Last year we were asked to write a tune for Bond movie Spectre. Yes we were. It didn’t work out. But became something of our own which we love very much. As the year closes we thought you might like to hear it. Merry Christmas. May the force be with you,” Yorke posted on Twitter on Friday.
