Radiohead James Bond ‘Spectre’ Song Revealed, Better Than Sam Smith’s "Writing’s on the Wall"?

Sam Smith's song for the latest James Bond film, Spectre, is currently nominated for a Golden Globe and might even make it to the Academy Awards' shortlist in a couple of weeks, but Radiohead's rejected track might've been even better.

According to io9, the English rock band was asked to write a track for the film last year, and while it didn't work out for reasons unknown, they still decided to drop their rejected song to fans as a Christmas present.

"Last year we were asked to write a theme tune for the Bond movie Spectre. Yes we were," the band wrote on their Facebook page on Christmas Day, on a message duplicated on vocalist Thom Yorke's Twitter account. "It didn't work out, but became something of our own, which we love very much. As the year closes we thought you might like to hear it. Merry Christmas. May the force be with you."

Readers, which is better?

For months, several British artists were rumored to be on the shortlist to write the song for Daniel Craig's latest outlet as 007, including Radiohead and even pop star Ellie Goulding, until it was finally announced that Smith's music had been the one picked to follow Adele's impressive Oscar-winning track, "Skyfall."

The song would've been a great addition to the impressive list of artists who have performed Bond themes, which includes the likes of Shirley Bassey, Paul McCartney and Wings, Duran Duran, Chris Cornell and even Madonna, in the five decades since Sean Connery first appeared on the screen as the MI6 spy with a license to kill.

As Bustle reports, Radiohead's "Spectre" wouldn't have been the band's first time in a soundtrack, as they've written songs for movies in the past, including "Exit Music (For a Film)" for Romeo + Juliet.
