Favorite Bond Theme?

Sheena Easton - For Your Eyes Only

Greg, we had this thread two days ago.

Shirley Bassey == Goldfinger

There are many great Bond songs.

But, this one gets me.

And I love the way it weaves the title into the song.

Shirley Assy - Shitfinger

[quote] Greg, we had this thread two days ago.

Oh. Sorry.

This should’ve been a poll.

Did the Bond girls drain James Bond?

Die Another Day- Madonna. Still listen to it

I've always said that they obviously had no idea what "Skyfall" was which is exactly why I enjoy this Adele song.

Also I liked

Carly's "Nobody Does it Better" &

Louis Armstrong's (unofficial) "We Have All The Time In the World"

There hasn't been a Bond theme I liked since Live and Let Die. And that came out a LONG time ago.

There was a collection released of Bond themes that were rejected for the movies. This was my favorite of that group.

Goldfinger, which set the standard for Bond movie themes.

Here's mine....

McCartney of course.

Diamonds Are Forever. A fantastic Shirley Bassey vocal, it’s even better than Goldfinger.

^ I used to hate Bassey's belting but I now realise she's talking about thugs, prostitutes and murder.

You Know My Name by Chris Cornell from Casino Royale

[R4] & I concur. You may close the thread now. ;`}

Honorable mention

Live and Let Die as #1 You only live twice and Nobody does it better as #2 or 3 depending on the day. Worst: "Another way to die" from Quantom of Solace

Goldfinger, Dame Shirley Bassey - obviously. It's the gold standard of Bond themes.

I'm partial to Live and Let Die.

The James Bond theme played on a cat piano, a toy chicken, and a calculator.

All Time High by Rita Coolidge from Octopussy.

I hate Sam Smiths song. Chris Cornell’s, Sheryl Crow’s and Lulu’s were shit too.

Another way to die from Alicia Keys and Jack White is stll the worst, but the Sam Smith song is a close second. The Cornell one has grown on me in recent years.

Omg I forgot about how shitty the Alicia Keys and Jack White song is!

Even more shitty / considering this could have been used instead but was rejected,

I'm with you, OP. Nancy RULES.

Total toss up between the plastic fantastic 60s pop corniness of You Only Live Twice and the 70s bell bottomed cheese of Live and Let Die.

My favorite is any not sung by Billie Uglish.

Burt Bachrach's "Casino Royale" theme

Goldeneyeeeee

written by Bono for miss Tina Turner. I was 9 when my grandparents took me to the cinema, and they played the entire clip before the movie started.

It was my first time hearing (and seeing!) Tina, and I was instantly hooked.

Yes, R31. Burt Bachrach's "Casino Royale" theme is the only one that gets my toes a tapping.

The rest suck.

I like Tina goldeneye and I like Madonna die another day

I used to hate Madonna's Die another day. Now, after the Alicia Keys/Jack White and Sam Smith debacles, it sounds decent in comparison

I can’t believe they came up with “Another Way to Die” for the name of the Quantum of Solace theme. So lazy.

Goldfinger. But only as performed my the fabulous Miss Francis.

Wow. They splurged on that set.

Nobody Does it Better

Nobody does it better is just dreary. A good Bond theme pumps the adrenaline.
