Groovepusher Sly Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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.

Mark Zeger Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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.

Wewus432 Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylver Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midispaceho Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cg1155 Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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.

Boggs Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Live And Let Die does it for mee, too! I like both McCartney's and Guns & Roses' versions equally.

fantasticsound Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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.

Midimonk Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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.

Tusker Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Knutson Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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.

Mats Olsson. Posted December 4, 2002 Share 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.

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.

S_Gould Posted December 5, 2002 Share 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?).
