14. Thunderball
Artist: Tom JonesFilm: Thunderball http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLYW2UgSJq8 Nobody loves Tom Jones more than I. He is my hero, my musical idol- so why isnt he higher up? Because as lovely as his voice is, this tune isnt up to much- partly because it just seems to be trying its best to copy Goldfinger, not carving itself out as something unique or special. So its just a damn good imitation of a great song, and not great in its own right, despite being sung by one of the great voices of our time. Sorry, Sir Tom 13. A View To A Kill
Artist: Duran DuranFilm: A View To A Kill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp4CR2HcHLQ I dont know why I like this tune, because I really dont Duran Duran (And I really dont like the film, but I promise Ill base my ranking on the song alone), but theres something exciting about it, and I do like the lyrics. People besides me do like this song, and its out of a weird personal preference this is placed where it is in the rankings. It was also the last notable song the band performed before breaking up, so you get a sense theyre giving it their all, and it does show.
