Scouting For Girls: 'James Bond'

Scouting For Girls have a new pop disc out now called "James Bond". It is very, very bad. Infact, it is the second worst song ever recorded, in a Top Ten Worst Songs Ever Recorded list which now consists solely of records by The Wombats and Scouting For Girls records. "James Bond" by Scouting For Girls is about how the doofus sports science singer wants to be James Bond. It isn't a metaphor for something else. It's just literally about that. The lyric mentions having gadgets up his sleeve, having a girl in every port, and blowing bad guys away. The middle eight goes "I've a licence, I've a licence, to kill". Yes, doofus sports science singer, but where did you get your licence to be really shit? Of course it is no surprise that The Scouting For Girls have recorded a song about James Bond. James Bond movies are enjoyed by exactly the same people who enjoy Top Gear*, Robbie Williams, having a really big telly, and Scouting For Girls. Perhaps Scouting For Girls next single will be about buying the Bourne Trilogy on "Blue-Ray".

*"Oh, but it's changed, you don't even have to be interested in cars to enjoy it." No, but you do have to be interested in offensively opinionated, dull men operating within a mid-90s 'zoo' TV format.
