McCartney backs Winehouse for 'Bond'

Paul McCartney has said that Amy Winehouse would be a "really good" choice for the new James Bond theme tune.

The former Beatle, who performed the 1973 Bond hit 'Live and Let Die', claimed his only advice for the singer would be to avoid trying to think up words that rhyme with the film's title Quantum of Solace.

He is quoted as saying: "I think Amy Winehouse would be really good, and I think she would do a really good job.

"My advice to her would be not to try and rhyme 'Solace' with anything - that's too hard."

> Do you think Amy Winehouse is the woman for the job?

Artists including Duran Duran, A-Ha, Sir Tom Jones and Dame Shirley Bassey have performed 007 tracks in the past.

When asked whether he would ever pen another Bond tune, he replied: "I definitely wouldn't do it again.

"I have been trying to think of something to rhyme with 'Solace' and all I can come up with is 'Wallace'! I don't envy whoever is going to do the song!"
