Who Should Do the Next Bond Song? - The Kinda Funny Podcast
The Kinda Funny Podcast dives into a chaotic, hilarious deep dive on who should perform the next James Bond theme song, turning a simple question into a sprawling, meta conversation about comedy, nostalgia, and the absurdity of celebrity culture. The hosts begin with a tangent about John Travolta’s beret obsession and the cinematic power of hats, only to pivot to a passionate, deeply personal debate about Bond music—where Nick Scarpino declares Adele’s 'Skyfall' the greatest song ever made, while Tim Geddes passionately defends the emotional weight of the Bond theme as a cultural touchstone. The discussion spirals into a wild list of potential artists, from Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa to obscure Scandinavian singer Leve, whose voice allegedly 'blows minds.' Amid the chaos, the hosts reveal their true theme: not Bond, but the irreplaceable chemistry of their decade-long friendship, where inside jokes, dumb antics, and relentless teasing are the real 'bond.' The episode ends with a surreal, heartfelt moment as they admit the show is about nothing—and everything—because it’s about hanging out with people who make you laugh, even when they’re mercilessly mocking you.
Declare 'Skyfall' the greatest song ever made—its emotional bridge ('Where you go, I go') transcends music and becomes a life philosophy.
The best Bond songs aren’t just hits—they’re emotional anchors tied to the movie’s success, like 'Goldfinger' and 'Live and Let Die'.
Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, and Leve are top-tier candidates for the next Bond theme—Leve’s voice is so powerful it’ll 'blow your mind'.
The real 'bond' in the podcast isn’t the theme song—it’s the decade-long friendship that turns inside jokes into sacred rituals.
Comedy in casual settings is toxic: don’t workshop jokes on friends. Save them for the stage.
