fav bond theme and why? Mine has to be "licence to kill" sung by the great Gladys knight.....I really love this song at the moment! Iam a big fan of Narada Michael Walden so that may be why.....he always pushes the artists he works with vocally!
Also "If you ask me too" by Patti labelle is my second fav (though i know it ain't the theme song)! Patti does not go overboard thank god on that cut! The ones more recently have been piss poor (since the catchy "goldeneye") I also did "a view to a kill" by Duran duran.....that is one of their best songs Damn the middle 8 on "licence to kill" gives me goosebumps!!!

Nobody does it better sung by Carly Simon in 1977.
Always loved that beautiful melody & after seeing "Lost in translation" there was this scéne that I loved when a girl sang that at a karaoke bar & it's such a great song. /peace Manki | |

I loved that Sheyl crow one..I love how she struggles in the chorus..
it adds tension & drama  'GoldenEye' is just plain awful..Tina's
worst recorded singing..she really overdoes it with the nasal twang..& the lyrics were very shitty...'Other girls they gather around him.. If I had him..'etc..I just didn't believe Tina..It sounded like Soap Opera acting 2 me.. . ...Your coochie gonna swell up and fall apart... | |

Live and Let Die - Wings (just a cool song)
Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon (another cool song, classic) Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey (it's Shirley, dammit!) For Your Eyes Only - Sheena Easton Die Another Day - Madonna (addictive) Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

2 of my favorites aslo have the best theme songs
Nobody does it better - So very pretty..love me some Carly anyday. View to a kill - It's like repeated over a dozen times during the movie. Crap did I forget Live and Let Die??? Yeah that's good too. and a runner up...for your eyes only - sheena easton. Though not my favorites...Goldfinger and Diamonjds are forever...because of Shirley Bassey [Edited 11/29/04 13:32pm] Christian Zombie Vampires | |

These are my favourite Bond Theme Songs:
Sheryl Crow "Tomorrow Never Dies" - Sheryl's powerful voice, great orchestration and the guitar performance - BTW she has written the song and I just love her music... Garbage "The World Is Not Enough" - Because of Miss Shirley Manson herself!!!!

My top five:
1. A View To A Kill- Duran Duran (kick-ass tune that really captured the flavour of a Bond film) 2. The World Is Not Enough- Garbage (Shirley Manson's voice  )
3. Live And Let Die- Paul McCartney (a manic, groovy number. One of the best non-Beatle Paul songs) 4. For Your Eyes Only- Sheena Easton (Cheesy and sappy all at once, yet the tune is just irresistible) 5. Nobody Does It Better (the Spy Who Loved Me)- Carly Simon (friggin' great tune. Radiohead does a kick-ass cover of it live from time-to-time) Honorable mention has to go to Goldfinger and Tomorrow Never Dies 
Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |

Either Live and let die or Nobody does it better for me. I also like Goldfinger and You only live twice (Nany Sinatra) | |

A View To A Kill, by my New Wave saviors, Duran Duran. 
Also, that was the only Bond theme to hit #1, you know? NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Furthermore, while I wouldn't go as far as saying that Connery was the worst, he's easily the most overrated. Everyone just worships him because he's the original, as far as I'm concerned. | |

Actually , the first Bond was played by Barry Nelson in the TV Movie "Casino Royale" in 1954. "...all you need ...is justa touch...of mojo hand....." | |

Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey
John Barry arrangement and the Welshwoman's big voice (her delivery of the word Goldfinger knocks your head back) Thunderball - Tom Jones John Barry arrangement and the Welshman's big voice Just like I expect James Bond to be Sean Connery  , have cool gear, kick much butt and get plenty of chicks,
I also expect the theme songs to have a big voice singer setting all this hedonism up. tA  Tribal Disorder

"the world is not enough" -- an amazing song (written & performed)
"for your eyes only" -- sheena easton -- just beautiful | |

Nobody Does It Better - Camp nonsense
Moonraker - Wistful, ethereal gibberish Surrender - I know it wasn't the main theme, but k.d. lang's song pisses all over Sheryl Crow's effort. Oh, I also like the orchestral tune titled 'Capsule In Space' from You Only Live Twice. | |
