Groovepusher Sly Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 I guess it should be, Favorite Bond Tune. But anyway. Which song did you like the most. My favorite is... saw it last night, Goldfinger, sung by Shirley Bassey. Sly :cool: By the way, find out how many times Bond got the buns here; [url=http://www.mjnewton.demon.co.uk/bond/gf.htm]Bond Booty[/url] Whasineva ehaiz, ehissgot ta be Funky!
meccajay Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Tina Turner - Goldeneye ...nice strings! TROLL . . . ish.
Mark Zeger Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 The best Bond theme is "Goldfinger", but the best Bond song is "We Have All the Time in the World" sung by Louis Armstrong (in his last recording) for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". The song and John Barry's score are great, you get Diana Rigg as a Bond girl, but you have to put up with George Lazenby.
Rog Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 [i]Live & Let Die[/i] still blows me away and, I hate to say it, but Madonna's new one isn't too bad either :D "That's what the internet is for. Slandering others anonymously." - Banky Edwards.
Wewus432 Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Sheet man that's Madonna, that's an interesting song. My favorite Bond song is the one done by Sheena Easton, [b]For Your Eyes Only[/b]
Sylver Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 I have to go with "Live and Let Die". I love the piccolos. I really don't know what to put here.
Groovepusher Sly Posted December 4, 2002 Author Posted December 4, 2002 I liked "Live And Let Die" too. Sly :cool: Whasineva ehaiz, ehissgot ta be Funky!
midispaceho Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 View to a Kill by Duran Duran was good. That was in one of those films. But I'm a synth pop fan, what would you expect. Heeeeeere kitty kitty kitty
cg1155 Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Personally I prefer "The World is Not Enough" which was performed by Garbage, but the new Madonna one is pretty groovy. If you haven't seen the movie you should - IMHO it's the best of the Brosnan Bonds yet. It has all the classic Bond elements done to the 9's. Casey
Boggs Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Live And Let Die does it for mee, too! I like both McCartney's and Guns & Roses' versions equally. Boggs Check out my Rock Beach Guitars page showing guitars I have built and repaired... http://www.rockbeachguitars.com
fantasticsound Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 No question for me. Live & Let Die. Powerful, engaging, dynamic. It has everything a movie them needs including an end that just screams segue. (Intro credits into the first scene.) Say what you will about the Sean Connery vs. Roger Moore vs. Timothy Dalton vs. Pierce Brosnan, et. al as Bond. Paul McCartney's theme has no equal in the series. (Although there are some other decent songs associated with Bond movies.) It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd

timobrien Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 "Thunderball" sung by Tom Jones. Guy had a real set of pipes on him when he was at his peak and before he got vocal nodes.

Midimonk Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 well, i'd have to agree w/ midispaceho on the duran duran "view to a kill" nomination. w/ runner up going to madonna midimonk I cannot be bought, and I cannot be threatened. But if you put them both together then I'm your man!"
Jeebus Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 1st place is The World is Not Enough by Garbage 2nd place goes to the Madonna/Mirwais track
Botch. Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 I'm with all the MIDI guys, "View to a Kill" :thu: Botch "Eccentric language often is symptomatic of peculiar thinking" - George Will www.puddlestone.net
Tusker Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 I concur with Mzeger. On her majesty's secret service has the best song. The score is very emotional and passionate. Ian Fleming's tragic ending is just what Bond needs to keep him interesting. The song epitomizes all that. Jerry
Oiled Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 The World is not enough. The new Madonna song is really cool too.
RABid Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Spybreak by Propellerheads. Ummm, that's not quite right. Ok. Live and Let Die, though I need to hear the song by Madana and Garbage. I have not seen the new movie and I don't remember the Garbage tune. Robert This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page

Bunny Knutson Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Another vote for... "Live and Let Die" - Paul McCartney That song has always blown me away. You simply CANNOT say that McCartney never released any good songs after the Beatles. https://bunny.bandcamp.com/ https://theystolemycrayon.bandcamp.com/
Tedster Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Yep...that's right, David Niven as Bond in "Casino Royale"...which was a kinda catchy (at the time) Herb Alpert tune. But, I'll go along with "Goldfinger"..."Live and Let Die"...and, allow me to go out on a limb and say that I liked the one Sheryl Crow sang too. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine"
Master Zap Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 All you complaining at Geroge Lazenby... uh... have you actually viewed the flick? I actually have that as one of my Fav bond flicks! /Z
Mats Olsson. Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 Ted, the music in Casino Royal was by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass played the main theme and "The Look of Love", Dusty Springfield sang. Plot: [i]Sir James Bond, a spy from the old school (a good spy is a pure spy) is called back to service by the death of "M" and the imminent collapse of civilization. The opposition tries to compromise him, but even as nubile young agents are thrown at him, he remains above it all. Going beyond parody to sillyness, every agent is renamed James Bond, 007 to confuse the enemy, including Woody Allen who plays Little Jimmy Bond.[/i] Trivia: (From IMDB)Casino Royale was Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel. It was the only one not sold to Eon Productions. As a result, CBS TV first adapted it for an episode of Climax! in 1954, starring Barry Nelson as CIA agent Jimmy Bond. When plans began to adapt the novel as a motion picture, the original thought was to do a straight film of the novel. But with the success of Sean Connery's Bond, it was decided the only way a rival Bond film could survive would be as a parody. The Peter Sellers sequence is the only part of Ian Fleming's novel to make it into the film. The confrontation with Le Chiffre in the casino, the plan to discredit Le Chiffre with SMERSH and the villain's execution by enemy agents are all in the novel. So is the notion of Bond writing a book on baccarat, and the element of Vesper being an enemy spy. Reportedly, Eon Productions has been trying to buy back the rights to Casino Royale for years, in hopes of someday making a serious Bond film out of the novel.

Evelyn Tremble: No, I'm Peter O'Toole! Piper: Then you're the greatest man that ever BREATHED. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [In a building that is about to explode.] Cooper: What's the strategy, sir? Bond: Get out of the bloody place before it blows up! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frau Hoffner: Hmmm, it is little Otto. He was one of your mother's lovers. We often find him lying around. Mata Bond: Is he dead? Frau Hoffner: Hard to tell. He always looked like that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jimmy Bond: You can't shoot me! I have a very low threshold of death. My doctor says I can't have bullets enter my body at any time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [In front of 10 Downing Street.] Mata Bond: I bet Mummy would've taken me in! Sir James: Mummy took everyone in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Upon seeing Mata Hari's bedroom.] Mata Bond: Hey, what an enormous bed! Polo: The German army was very large in those days. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sir James: I remember your chap Lenin very well. First class organizer. Second class mind. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sir James: It's depressing that the words "secret agent" have become synonymous with "sex maniac." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sir James: The whole world believes that you were eaten by a shark, Miss Lynd. Vesper Lynd: That was no shark. That was my personal submarine. But enough of this polite conversation. What is the purpose of your visit? I still remember Casino Royal as a very loooong and confusing movie... /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

I actually have that as one of my Fav bond flicks! /Z[/b][/quote]I've seen it many times. "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is a fine Bond movie. Good plot & action, great score, strong villian (Telly Savales as Blofeld), and one of the best Bond girls, but George Lazenby is wooden. He went from being a male model to Bond, due to a dispute between Connery and Cubby Broccoli. If you like Lazenby, the good news is that Timothy Dalton has eclipsed him as the worst Bond.
Charlie-brm Posted December 5, 2002 Posted December 5, 2002 I second For Your Eyes Only, Sheena Easton. It's the only one that comes to mind. It's OK to tempt fate. Just don't drop your drawers and moon her.
S_Gould Posted December 5, 2002 Posted December 5, 2002 OK I'm gonna be odd man out and say "You Only Live Twice" - mainly because it impressed me the most at the time it came out ('69?). I mean the whole soundtrack, not the theme song. Scott
not coaster MODERATOR Posted December 5, 2002 Posted December 5, 2002 the best is the one with the tele sound that goes dum du du du dum duu dum du du du dum du du dum du du du du dum du du dum du du du dum du du doeee deuuuu........deuwudoo...... that's the theme song right?
