Artist: Shirley BasseyFilm: GoldfingerThis is just utterly iconic- the most famous out of all the tunes, instantly recognisable. The benchmark by which all other Bond tunes are compared, by a singer at the top of her game. The way Bassey holds that last note amazes me every time. So if this classic is not Number One, then what is?
1. Nobody Does It Better
Artist: Carly SimonFilm: The Spy Who Loved MeI have a feeling as many people will disagree with my number one choice as will agree. It has grown on me over time, and its just a classic. Its sensual, lush, enticing. Perfectly summing up not just Moores stint as Bond, but what Bond is all about- well, Bond in the movies, at least. The title says it all, really- And no other Bond song would retain its dignity one covered by Alan Partridge. CLANG! Clangalangalangalangalangalang So there you have it! My rankings for the Bond theme tunes. Disagree? Tough! Ive got a licence toer write articles online. If you havent heard Adeles Let The Sky Fall, the number Six ranking on ym list, I suggest you do. Its very, very good. Why not listen to numbers 20-1 in preparation for Skyfall, out October 26?
