Best Bond song?

[Brandane]

Anyone else been listening to the top 10 Bond songs being played last week and this on some Bauer media group radio stations, in the run up to the release of the new Bond film this week?
Today they are at number 5 in the countdown towards number 1. So why have they just played the best ever Bond song? That of course being Carly Simon's Nobody Does it Better, theme tune of The Spy Who Loved Me.

So what is your favourite Bond song?

There are about 24 of them, so too many to post a poll. And anyway, anyone who disagrees with this one is just WRONG!
(The film was quite good too, considering it was Roger Moore).

Goldfinger. Lock the thread now.

Mrs D and I chose each others wedding songs. As a result she walked up the aisle to Elvis Costello's verson of She, while I walked up the aisle, grinning like an idiot, to Nobody Does it Better.

I also reckon Carly Simon as well

Me too, but we are talking about her singing.

Chris Cornell's "You know my name" from Casino Royale.

By coincidence, a couple of days ago I was saying I wouldn't mind a CD of all the Bond theme songs.
Not sure I could pick a "best" but Carly would be in the running.

I don't recognise many of the songs on this list, but my immediate pick was Live and Let Die.

The changes of pace and crescendos are cinematic and redolent of a spy/thriller film.

Good effort from Macca to produce something so close to the brief, rather than just another 'big' song.

Live and let Die is a great song and the remake by GnR is one of the few cover songs that is as good as the original.

Chris Cornell's "You know my name" from Casino Royale.

+1

I also quite like Golden Eye - written by Bono and the Edge apparently

Duran Duran. Totally 80’s. I was a 10 year old boy and this just seemed amazing.

Yes, that's the best. Here's Carly belting it out live in Amity Island...sorry....Martha's Vineyard:

Other faves are A View To A Kill (movie was dull though), Living Daylights.

The Duran boys do a killer live version too:

 

[RoubaixCube]

Personally for me, the most memorable one was Live And Let Die

And I think this is a pretty good reimagining of the song.

 

[carpiste]

Live and let die for me

Carly Simon clearly. Close the thread. 😁
