I play the piano in hotels and stuff, and am putting together/extending a 007 medley, what are peoples favourites.

my medley currently goes... 007 theme, nobody does it better, for your eyes only and live and let die.

i think i shall add licence to kill, as that is a choon!!!!!

You mentioned my three favorites. In order:

The Spy Who Loves Me (Nobody Does It Better) - Carly Simon
Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney
For Your Eyes Only - Sheena "Was a Man" Easton

Don't know who was the best but there is a tie for the worst

Duran Duran
Madonna

My absolute favourite is Nobody does it better.
I think Diamonds are forever would go nicely with your set.
& maybe Goldfinger too.

Hmmmm....

Live and Let Die
Diamonds Are Forever
Nobody does it better (probably my favorite)
View to a Kill
For your Eyes Only
Die another Day (though I have a hard time with this being a Bond theme)

Easily for me would have to be....

Durans View to a Kill
Sheenas For Your Eyes
a-ha The Living Daylights (forgotten, since the movie was too)
Live and Let die of course

Carly Simon`s "Nobody does it better"

For Your Eyes Only and Diamonds Are Forever. I love me some 007 . My faves are Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan.

I vote for Sheryl Crow and Tina Turner.

Goldeneye by Tina Turner (written by Bono)

"A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran

These are ny favorite James Bond themes:

Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey (Goldfinger)
Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney (Live and Let Die)
Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon (The Spy Who Loved Me)
Diamonds Are Forever - Shirley Bassey (Diamonds Are Forever)
For Your Eyes Only - Sheena Easton (For Your Eyes Only)


The worst James Bond theme:

Die Another Day - Madonna (Die Another Day)

2.Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney (Live and Let Die)
3.Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon (The Spy Who Loved Me)
1.Main title Theme from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" - John Barry (it's too cool for vocals)

anyone notice that a recent single by Jeniffer Lopez kind of rips of the song/music "you only live twice"?

I heard "Nobody Does It Better" on the radio the other day and it's probably my favorite Bond theme because I never really associated it with the movies (not that I dislike the movies). It doesn't have that signature kind of Bond theme to it that most of the songs do, which somtimes works but lately has been distracting (yes, Madonna I love you but good God). Give it up to Carly with "Diamonds Are Forever" and "For Your Eyes Only" also in the mix.

"All Time High" from "Octopussy" is trying to be another "Nobody Does it Better"

1. All Time High (Octopussy)
2. Moonraker
3. Nobody Does it Better (The Spy who loved me)
4. If there was a man ( Living Daylights ending song)
5. If you ask me too (License to Kill ending song)
6. Live and let die
7. For your eyes only
8. Thunderball
9. From Russia with Love
10. A View to a kill

1. Moonraker
2. License to Kill
3. For Your Eyes Only
4. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (instrumental)
5. Live and Let Die
6. Goldfinger
7. Nobody Does It Better/The Spy Who Loved Me
8. Diamonds Are Forever
9. From Russia With Love (the vocal theme that closes the film)
10.You Only Live Twice

View to a Kill

'Surrender' by k.d. lang - Should have been the main theme, instead of over the closing credits.

Oh - and 'We Have All The Time In The World' by Louis Armstrong.

cool

thanks people. for those who have a copy, listen to the first 4 or 5 piano notes of licence to kill.... venus de milo or what!

I love the Garbage and Sheryl Crow ones. They're so dark & sexy & dangerous sounding.

I can't express how much I love that song, and that movie, and that movie's main theme!

The Incredibles recycled the vibe of that era bond. Even reused the main theme for their preview.

My current favourite is "If There Was A Man" from The Living Daylights
also "Tomorrow Never Dies" by Sheryl Crow
plus "Live And Let Die"

I guess these are my favourites....

Nobody Does It Better
Tomorrow Never Dies
Live and Let Die
A View to a Kill

Madonna's song is a disgrace for the Bond series... and I can't even remember what the Garbage one sounds like?
