Didn't know that [your second point].
They say that you can hear it halfway of the Antonov track (around 6:10 mark, I believe), but it's actually a couple of drums which very vaguely resemble the 007 theme.
By the way, I read somewhere that Arnold would love to bring the 007 theme back but EON would have to pay the royalties to the John Barry estate, but as pointed out by Makeshift Python, it's weird EON wouldn't do such a thing considering they paied up for LTK and GE.

This. The theme for OHMSS is so beautiful that I listen to it basically every day. I've got 10+ different arrangements of that tune on my phone, I love to listen to it when jogging or riding my bike.

Given the Bond franchise is a multi-million dollar franchise, they should definitely pay up the royalties. But would it tonally fit? I can't think of a sequence in the films going back to TND where I reckon it would fit anyway.
Don't think they should redo the OHMSS theme. One film per theme.

'007' served well as an alternative (to the Bond theme) backdrop to large-scale action sequences back in the day. But you're right FM, not sure it would've fitted anywhere in the more recent films.

Yeah, the 007 Theme is rather jaunty. Way too Sixties-sounding to work now.

A $300 million budget and they can't pay royalties for music?
I've never been a huge fan of the 007 theme, but Barry's theme for OHMSS is one of the greatest themes ever written. I'd love to hear it again.

Apparently it's Adele again, but still speculation:

I don't want Adele for SPECTRE, or the movie will really feel like Skyfall 2; Adele back for Bond 26 or 27? Sure, she'd be my first choice. But doing two in a row? No way.

Kind of expected it, and she did a great job. I don't mind if she does return.

She did a good job last time, but twice in a row is a bit boring.
Wonder if the song will actually be called "SPECTRE."

I don't mind. I like that there will be continuity between the two films. Maybe they'll parallel each other, like many of the plot points and elements of SKYFALL.

Skyfall 2? More like CASINO ROYALE 4.
At least Adele will lay claim to a bit of trivia: she'll be the first singer to do back-to-back theme/title songs.

Fans have launched a petition to get Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds to perform the SPECTRE theme:
I doubt that it will come to much, but I was always a little disappointed that EON never approached Oasis in the 1990s. I doubt that they could have worked with the Gallagher brothers anyway. But if you had to pick one of them, Noel was always the better choice.

From when he was rumoured to be doing the Skyfall theme -
Says he'd love to but it's not him, and that he thought Ellie Goulding was doing it…
I'd prefer Ellie Goulding over Sam Smith, but we can do better methinks!

When he says he has 'absolutely no idea what's going on' that sort of implies to me that he made a submission at their request and that he's not heard back from them.
I, Gravity's Silhouette, can state clearly that I will not be doing the title/theme song because I can't sing, can't read sheet music, can't play an instrument, have never been asked to submit a demo and am currently not waiting to hear back from EON.
Sam Smith said none of that.
My guess is that the production is running so long over-schedule that they either haven't had time to decide who they want to sing this, or they're going to elimiate the title/theme song all together because the movie is already 3hours and 35 minutes long and they need to find somewhere to edit.

I don't think it's run over schedule. When shooting was first announced, I recall reading a schedule that always called for them to be in Morocco in late June-early July. And I seem to remember someone at CBn saying that the wrap party is being held on July 5, which is today.

A 7 month primary location shoot??? This better be the mother of all Bond films; no expense spared; The best stunts, the best glamour, the best lines of dialogue, but title/theme song, Best script, best Bond Girl (Lea). Basically, it better be the best of everything.

I know it sounds crazy, but this article from Variety, published at the start of filming, confirms it:
But I suspect that there was a large break or two during filming, so while it's seven months in total, it probably works out to be about five months in total.

So Sleaford Mods are the surprise choice. Full marks to Eon, didn't think they'd go with anything so leftfield. It's like 1977 collided with 1990.

... Who? First time I've heard of them. "Sleaford" is one of those names that can only be British, but that's literally all that I know about them.

Yes, I concur. Excellent choice. Couldn't be happier. I thought EON's press release, though, comparing them to the best choice since A-ha, was a bit overrated, but I like both bands, so I won't complain.
I also would've been happy with some of the more safe, traditional choices such as Vengaboys or Selena Quantilla-Perez that were rumored to be on the short list, but I'll take Sleaford Mods. SPECTRE just got a whole lot more exciting for me!
