@dmdpro5 lol.. no it didn't.. she recorded a version in 1970 but it wasn't released until much later.. the Doors recorded the original in 1966. look it up
@dmdpro5 Yes, along with xadam2dudex.... How can you not know this...? This is one of the great songs in Rock history, produced by the Doors in the 1960's!! Shirley was covering the song here!
She seems to have quite the ability to draw out a song...almost into another dimension, to give the individual time to think and reflect. For this particular song (and cover), I might prefer the Doors; however, I appreciate, very much, Shirley's talent and effort.
@xzxlevitationxzx I am looking for it aswel, I know i have heard it, even had a copy but it must be called something else because i have been searching for it for days now with no luck.. from memory it sounds identical to this version..
This is a beautiful version of the song; however, nobody can touch morrison and the doors' original version. The original is much better. RIP Lizard King
@six000six -the beat is just slowed down and I wouldn't choose this so called sweet voice I'll always stick to Morrison's which had no singing lessons or training, but only uniqueness and the male ability to also reach high notes.
@TheGoodCasino its also more big band/jazzy, not just slowed down. She gives an incredible vocal as well. Just cause Morrison's is better does not mean she doesn't deserve credit.
jim morrison never wanted his music used in commercials, he was fiercely against it. And because shirley bassey did a cover of this song, now it's been used in a commercial, which he didn't want :/
shirley bassey is an amazing singer, i love mythbusters, but this song should have never been used for a commercial and the cover doesn't live up to the original.
Grew up not knowing this lady existed. Was aware of Bond movies just not the singers in them. I have to say, after hearing quite a number of Shirley's songs - especially when she sings standards - she has to be the # 1 female singer ever, anywhere PERIOD! What a voice, 50 years ago and today - truly remakable. My favorite male vocalist is an upcoming standards singer James De Frances, this barotone crooner has some pipes and stage presence. Keep singing Shirley! Maybe a duet?@#$%

@bigbandsrule awesome! Welcome to the fold, she is indeed magnificent, and since you show yourself to have tremendous taste, I will check out this James De Frances on youtube. Can't wait! :)
i love how the media is bringing oldies into the lime lighter for the future generations to appreciate.... better then justin bieber or lady gaga anyday!
awesome songstress!! the begining 007 movies wouldn't be the same without her...yeah Mythbusters!! a new generation is looking now...hope they like what they find!
This is potent. Her voice gives me goose bumps. Had to have it the instant I heard the MythBusters commercial. Sounds VERY James Bond Theme-ish. Does anyone know if this actually was used in a Bond movie? If so, which one?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I heard this song in the new mythbuster's commercial and I came here to say that this has to be the worst cover I have ever heard. This abortion should have never been sung like this, not taking away from the talent of this singer but The Doors sing this so much better and IT ACTUALLY FITS THE SONG! Worst of all it is spammed on The Discovery channel when I'm trying to watch Cash Cab. Fuckers.
i knew it. I thought the beginning sounded like a theme from James Bond. Looks like the Mythbusters know how to roll with style :D (Bassey sung a JB theme)
@dakinedakineman sure. Nothing wrong with preferring the original, they are usually the best anyway, as long as one acknowledges when someone else did a great version in their own right.
