I was going over my Google Playlists and I found one that I created a long time ago with the James Bond themes. Back in the day, I would never miss Bond movies on the television. Being a woman of a certain age, my favorite Bond was Sean Connery, next George Lazenby (even though he only appeared in one Bond film) and I tolerated Roger Moore. By the time the franchise worked its way around to Timothy Dalton (yuk!) and Pierce Brosnan, I had lost interest. Thought my interest was somewhat revived with the new Bond, Daniel Craig, my heart still belonged to Sean.
Never mind the movies, though, what about the songs? The iconic songs that told you that a cool movie was about to start? Many of these songs were sung by the hot artists at the time and were almost always chart worthy.
For this blog post, let’s take a look at my top five favorite Bond themes, starting with number five. As always, I’ll add some tidbit of trivia!
Number 5
Die Another Day – Madonna
I can’t even tell you which Bond was in this movie, but the song is hot.
Number 4
Skyfall – Adele
Her dramatic rendition of this theme recalls the old days of Shirley Bassey. While I did not see the movie, Adele does a wonderful job with this song and it won the Oscar!
Number 3
For Your Eyes Only – Sheena Easton
Sheena is the only singer to appear in the opening credits of a Bond movie singing the theme song.
Number 2
Nobody Does it Better – Carly Simon
When it comes to Bond, we all know what the “it” is.
Number 1
Goldfinger – Shirley Bassey
Aww, you knew it. Of all the Bond themes, Dame Shirley Bassey does it the best. She has also recorded the most Bond themes.
Bad for her, but good for us.
