“What do you mean I can’t be a Bond girl?”

Soulful UK songstress, Adele is heading in to the studio to record the theme for the upcoming 23rd Bond film, according to reports from music industry insiders (read: pizza, flowers, and cocaine delivery people).

While the title and tune of the song are still under wraps, Adele is reportedly thrilled to be offered the chance to join the ranks of artists who lanced the boils of their swelling careers with a Bond ballad, including: Tina Turner, Paul McCartney and Madonna, among many others. Chris Cornell? Are you there?

Production on the next Bond installment was stalled for two years due to financial problems at MGM, the studio that produces the series. Double-dip recession notwithstanding, Bond will be back on our screens in 2012, in an adventure that is being filmed right here in South Africa.

With these things in mind, we put our heads together here at 2oceansVibe towers, and discovered that the Bond producers can save a fortune and don’t even need to get Adele into the studio – just set one of her already soulful ballads to the best visuals that her singing evoke, with a South African twist of course!

So, play the first video with the volume down:

And listen to the second, Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” (see? subtext!) while you watch:

It’s perfect Bond! Long legged birds strutting while Adele rolls around in the deep. Bond 23, we have your opening sequence nailed!
