    Nobody Does It Better for me too

    Actually that might suffer in the poll, it seems to be incorrectly titled, I hadn't thought of Carly Simons one until you named it.

    Always makes me think of Alan Partridge. Bit of bush:)

    Louis Armstrong is not the theme for 'on her Majesty's secret service' ...this is and by far the best

    Chris Cornell. You know my name. Was a great song, pity it was a bond song!

    Duran Duran's. It has a sense of the absurd in the video + Grace Jones.

    I voted for Goldfinger because I think it's the most iconic 007 anthem but there are some amazing tunes in that list. You Only Live Twice, Diamonds Are Forever, We Have All The Time, Live & Let Die, Skyfall. Some all time classics there.

    Live and let die....the bit were it gets really frantic always makes me laugh

    A View to a Kill. Some tune.

    You are correct, and it was the 1st error I noticed after posting my mammoth poll :-)

    Annoying there doesn't seem to be any way to amend the poll entries, so the error remains, otherwise it would have been fixed in a flash.

    Maybe if the Mod picks this up he might fix it? (seeing as I can't).

    Nobody does it better, my go-to karaoke song.

    You only live twice is a close second...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,673 ✭✭✭AudreyHepburn


    Skyfall is my favorite

    With honorable mentions to Gold finger, Live And Let Die, James Bond Theme and Die Another Day

    To the two people who voted for Sam Smith:

    You think you're funny, but you're not.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Would have to be McCartney/Wings with Live and Let Die for me. Special mention does have to go to Duran Duran with A Veiw to Kill (first bond I seen, and still one of my favourites), and A-Ha with Living Daylights, film is one of the worst Bonds though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 415 ✭✭Alexis Sanchez


    1. Goldeneye - Tina Turner (Golden eye)
    2. James Bond Theme - Norman/J.Barry (Dr No)
    3. Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey (Goldfinger)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,195 ✭✭✭✭Captain Chaos


    The ones with the best themes are amongst the worst films, don't can't say Im a fan of the films anyway.

    Surprised You Only Live Twice doing so poorly.

    I'd rate The Living Daylights as one of the best Bond movies with one of the best theme songs. Dalton was the best Bond to date, he portrays the character the best and true to the Flemming concept.

    That and Golden Eye.

    Pity it didn't work out for Dalton as Goldeneye was for him in mind but the franchise got caught up in a legal battle for a few years and he decided to drop out. Even though he only got 2 films I really liked his Bond.

    At least for Brosnan he didn't get stuck with just the shíttier films

    You only live twice.


    Forget about the rest. One of the most incredible songs and pieces of music I've ever heard. Just brings you to a different time.

    So many to choose from but Live and let die just about sways it.

    "Wings, the band the Beatles could've been".

    Would have been great if...
