18. You Only Live Twice
Artist: Nancy SinatraFilm: You Only Live Twice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgFtQPgHyek Things are starting to get a bit better, but this is still a bit characterless. Yes, its pretty, but it doesnt move you or excite you, and its a little bit like that song that goes loooooving you and ends with that screaming ooooo (Im not big on song names). What Im saying is, I like a certain type of Bond song- strong, whether its emotional or powerful. This is a little bit simpering. 17. From Russia With Love
Artist: Matt MunroFilm: From Russia With Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0glPrqeIt8 This has both the strengths and weaknesses of the previous entry. Its a lovely tune, but doesnt feel Bondian. Its too light to be sweeping and romantic, but its a damn sight better than some of the lower entries on the list. It paints a lovely picture and it was the very first tune (granted, it got very quickly eclipsed by its successor, but still). Its not the kind of theme tune you see people lampooning, imitating or singing to in the car when they think no ones looking.
