Reaction
Although the Bond films have a long-standing connection with the pop music world, the choice of Madonna's song, coupled with the use of The Clash's "London Calling," proved controversial with some fans who felt the two pieces of music were inappropriate for a Bond movie. For the debut album by The Clash see The Clash (album The Clash were London Calling is the third album by English Punk rock band The Clash, released 14 December 1979 on CBS Records in the UK and in January 1980
"London Calling" was used briefly in the film as Bond returns to England via British Airways. British Airways plc ( is the national Airline and Flag carrier of the United Kingdom and one of the largest in Europe At the time, the airline was using the song in American radio and television commercials.
Madonna's theme song was unusual in that it was presented in a credit sequence that directly moved the film's plot along (as opposed to all previous Bond film titles which are mostly standalone set pieces). The concept of the song/title sequence was that it represented Bond trying to keep his sanity during 14 months of torture at the hands of the North Koreans. The divided opinion over the "Die Another Day" theme is evidenced in that it was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song as well as for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song (2002). The Golden Globe Awards are American awards for motion pictures and Television programs given out each year during a formal dinner 23rd Golden However in a MORI poll for the Channel 4 programme "James Bond's Greatest Hits" it was voted 9th out of 22 and was voted an "overwhelming number one" by under-24 year olds.

Prior to Madonna's title song being chosen, Arnold, along with lyricist Don Black began work on their own title track titled "I Will Return". Don Black may refer to Don Black (white nationalist, white nationalist campaigner Don Black (musician, lyricist Don Black It was never finished. In one of the themes, if you listen carefully, a beat "Die Another Day" can be heard - this is probably the melody they were going to use.
