It's pretty silly, but so are a lot of things that people randomly shove into their music. Like rap breakdowns....

Anyway, I'm just gonna post this Postmodern Jukebox cover of the song in the style of a James Bond theme with Kenton Chen for your enjoyment.

I've got to applaud Kenton for his pizzazz. I'm generally not a fan of those retro-style covers of things, I tend to find them obnoxious - not twee exactly, but I guess cloying? But Kenton made enough distinctive, unapologetically eccentric emoting choices that I ended up liking it.

I'd never thought of LWYMMD as suited to a Bond song before, but now I really want that. Not the track as-is, but some version of it actually could make a really good Bond credits track (sans the phone bit, naturally).

I enjoy PMJ and a few other bands that do that style, it's musical fanfiction! What if LWYMMD was a Bond theme! But not everything they do is great. Sometimes the arrangements just aren't that good. Sometimes the singers fall flat. Sometimes the style they chose is just meh, or they chose a style that they can't nail. It's tricky business, but when they get the sweet spot, it's good.

I enjoyed rap breakdowns in music... back in the 80s and 90s when hip-hop was really taking off. These days... well, it just really depends on the song, and it doesn't really belong in most of them.
