It cost them a fortune to get him and they were worried he was too old and might not be able to perform it but he delivered.The writing and music is Barrys work though.

I don't know if I've heard owt by this Sam Smith lad before but if it's all on a par with the short-tongued, lispy falsetto screeching shite served up for the Bond theme I've evidently bog missed owt. Utter, utter shite.
