Song, Bond Song


Bond

What do you think is the best Bond theme song? I'd have to say 'Goldfinger' by Shirley Bassey... but it's a bit old and harsh sounding, so maybe Garbage's 'The World is Not Enough'. Then again Tom Jone's 'Thunderball' is pretty groovy too.

On the opposite end of the scales Madonna's artificial sounding 'Die Another Day' is pretty poor. And as far as Bond themes go 'Live and Let Die' by Wings sounds way to wussy. And 'A View to a Kill' by Duran Duran is stuck in the '80s. It's good but it's just James Bond good. And don't even get me started on 'We Have All the Time in the World' by Louis Armstrong. Don't get me wrong Satchmo is cool, but he's too Christmas and not Pussy Galore.

I'll get off my high-horse now, and sign off.

Yes, indeed Shirley surely rules!
