The internet thinks Sam Smith's new Bond theme sounds strangely familiar...

It’s mash-up time.

SAM SMITH’S NEW Bond theme was let go into the world today to much hysteria. The Guardian even liveblogged the first play of the Spectre theme on BBC Radio 1 this morning.

The Writing’s On The Wall has been given a mixed reception. You can stream on Spotify and download on iTunes so judge as you please.

Sam Smith's "Writing's On The Wall" isn't bad... But the build up to the chorus sounds like he's taking us into Michael Jackson "Earth Song"

Has anyone noticed that the new bond song #writingsonthewall is actually The Earth Song by Michael Jackson?
