Favorite James Bond Theme Song....

Other than the orchestral version and the most recent contemporary James Bond theme songs... which of these is your favorite.

I'm not trying to influence the vote... but my personal TOP FOUR favorites are listed in order below. What would be your alternate choices? Any that I didn't list?

-- Allen

Tom jones - James Bond- double entendre sexual reference...it's all there!

Nancy Sinatra

;-)

and Nancy has a great website!

Sampled by Robbie Williams, if I'm not mistaken, in his hit 'Millennium.'

IMHO, the only song that comes up to "Nobody Does It Better" is "You Only Live Twice": silky, sensuous melody, which has been sampled several times, including in a current hit, great, ironic lyrics and Nancy Sinatra. What's not to like?
"Yooooouuuuuuuuu only live twice,
Or so it seems:
One life for yourself
And one for your dreams."

Sorry... it was impossible to list them all... and I chose to list a 10th instead of "other".

never mind it being a Bond song.

But I voted for Goldeneye over Goldfinger (barely)


Hey Arwalden, this is the second Bond poll I've seen you start, you goign trough a Bond Period??

and I LIKE a-ha (so shoot me).

However, The Pretenders did another song for that film - I believe it played over the end credits - called "If There Was a Man". I think it is one of their most beautiful songs, and the best Bond song, and no one has even heard it.

but I like "For Your Eyes Only."

That is my favorite. Sheena Easton's voice is great.

eom

:-)

three syllables.

"Makes me feel sad for the rest . . ."

And Carly did such an amazing job on it. I love Shirley Bassey's voice as well but Simon's phrasing on NDIB is just amazing.

I don't really associate "Live and Let Die" as a Bond song anymore. It was just a song on the radio to me but still a great pop rock song!

And I'll give a nod to Duran Duran as I think they did a great job of capturing the Bond feel (though I realize that probably had more to do with the producer). Still, I think they pulled it off and I remember at the time - when I heard they were doing a Bond theme - thinking OMG! I hope they don't fuck it up. And then, shocker of all shockers, they didn't. I still remember sitting in the theatre thinking, "wow nice job!"

Oh, and BTW, I love your new sig Arwalden! T&L Rock!
on edit: ok, so change it on me right when I compliment it. lol ;-)

Although I don't really associate it much with Bond anymore. I just think of all the songs listed, it's the best crafted and best lyrics.

Sheena Easton

Give's me a shiver just thinking about it.

... it would have made more sense than a couple of the others I included. That was an EXCELLENT song.

Sorry.

-- Allen

into a menacing tune...great stuff!

:toast:

I just can't pick one...sorry! I am exploding with conflict.....They are all GREAT! "Nobody.." too!

The best song ever, i even have it in my mp3 player

But im a 80s FANATIC !!!

In my 80s folder i got "a view to a kill", "rio", "hungry like the wolf", "is there something i should know" and "save a prayer".


Any others i should get?

I didnt have the blessing of actually growing up in the 80s :( when i grew up spice girls was the most played group :cry:

you want Duran Duran suggestions or other obscure 80's stuff. My girlfriend actually published a magazine called Cafe 80's so she knows a lot of good stuff.

Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, The Fixx, Flock of Seagulls, etc.....80's had awesome stuff

I could show you my songs and we could compare..


Old winamp had this option i dunno why the new one doesnt

back in the day...:-(

That is the best James Brown song.

Too too funny.
