Noel Gallagher Would Be 'Honoured' to Write James Bond Theme Song - Oasis Legend Expresses Interest in Contributing Music to Next Film
In a surprise revelation, Noel Gallagher has revealed that he would "absolutely" write the theme song for the next James Bond film if asked. The Oasis songwriter expressed his desire to contribute music to the iconic franchise, stating that doing so would be an honour.
Gallagher, who has long been a fan of the series, previously stated that he would record a song for it "in a heartbeat". When questioned about writing a theme song specifically, he responded with enthusiasm, saying "absolutely, yeah, of course. It'd be an absolute honour." The guitarist also emphasized his preference for British artists to create these iconic songs, adding "I think those kinds of things should be done by Brits not Yanks."
The comments came after rumors emerged that Oasis had been approached for the role. Gallagher's brother, Liam, fueled speculation when he hinted at a new collaboration in December, stating that it was happening and would be the best Bond tune ever.
Bond theme songs have a rich history dating back to 1962 with Dr. No. Over the years, many British artists have contributed music to the franchise, including John Barry, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Lulu, Sheena Easton, Duran Duran, Adele, Sam Smith, and Billie Eilish.
However, American bands and foreign artists have also taken on the role. The upcoming film will be a departure from traditional creative control by Amazon MGM Studios, which is now overseeing production.
Gallagher's interest in portraying a "Mancunian villain" in the next Bond instalment only adds to his appeal as a potential contributor to the series. With his track record of creating memorable Oasis hits, there can be no doubt that he would bring a unique perspective and skillset to crafting an iconic Bond theme song.

gotta say, it's about time Brits took over the spy game again, all these American bands think they can just waltz in and do our job 
Gallagher's right, those kinds of songs should be done by us, we know what works, innit? 
but honestly, I'm not sure he'd be a good fit for Bond theme song... Oasis songs are always so bombastic and over-the-top 
it'd be hard to go from "Wonderwall" to saving the world from villains 
. He's got some great music under his belt with Oasis, and I can see him bringing a unique vibe to the franchise. It would be awesome if he could do justice to the series and create something iconic for the film. Plus, it would be rad to have a Mancunian villain in Bond - it's like a fun nod to his hometown 
I'm low-key surprised Noel is even being considered for this, but like, he's been obsessed with Bond for ages, so it's not entirely out of the blue. Can you imagine him going all-out as a Mancunian villain? 
! He's got that special something, mate. Would totally work for a "Mancunian villain" role too 
. Think about it, Oasis hits blended with Bond-style coolness... genius, right? 
I can already picture the lyrics rolling in... "Wonderwall"... Bond would be SO down! 
. I mean, on one hand, it'd be awesome to hear him create something for the franchise, given his love for James Bond and Oasis history with Britpop. But at the same time, I'm a bit skeptical about how he'll fit into the Bond universe... I don't know if he's got that suave, spy vibe going on 
He's got such a great track record with Oasis, who wouldn't want him to bring his vibe to the franchise? It'd be sick to see him incorporate some of that Manchester swagger into the mix 
I don’t know if he’s got the Bond vibe down pat yet, but it’d definitely be an interesting take. Maybe they could even get Liam involved on vocals or something
