(Newser) – Though her head-butting skills may be as valuable to 007 as her pipes, Amy Winehouse is auditioning to be the theme-song girl, not Bond girl, of the upcoming pic Quantum of Solace. Producer Mark Ronson said there are no guarantees her track will be used, though he adds, “The demo sounds like a James Bond theme.”

Ronson is also working on the British chanteuse’s upcoming album; the Casino Royale theme was sung by Soundgarden's Chris Cornell.
