The Saturday Seven: Favorite James Bond Theme Songs

I was fishing around You Tube last night and stumbled on a theme song to one of the James Bond films. I've always been a huge fan of the Bond flicks, but then again, it is sort of a guy thing, isn't it? As I watched the video, it made me think about which 007 theme song I liked the most. Not surprisingly, I was unable to pick a favorite. This ended up being the inspiration for this week's Saturday Seven: Favorite James Bond Theme Songs.

#1 Goldfinger

#2 Die Another Day

#3 Casino Royale

#4 Live and Let Die

#5 A View To A Kill

#6 The World is Not Enough

#7 The Spy Who Loved Me

Bonus Entry: For Your Eyes Only
Which is your favorite James Bond theme song? One of these, or perhaps another not listed? Go on, leave a comment, in this economy with so much inflation, it is nice to know the price of comments has not gone up. THEY ARE FREE!

Oooh, what a great topic! The songs and opening credits I love, the movies not so much. Probably because a Bond movie is all we ever get on TV on a wet Bank Holiday in the UK. My favourite is Carly Simon's "The Spy Who Loved Me."

I'll be back to watch all the vids later.

Would be bad news if a spy hted me.

Live and Let Die is my fav. Then View to a Kill (as a huge DD fan, obvs), then For Your Eyes Only because that was the first one I went to see at the movie theatre. And Sheena Easton has some pipes.

And I was kind of freaked out as a kid because, OMG, in the opening montage you could see outlines of b00bies!! Racy!!

Oh, boy! That's a tough one! I love them all, but think I'll have to go with "The Spy Who Loved Me".

It's been a while since I've checked out some of my fave blogs. I think I'm suffering from withdrawal right now!

Brilliant post, as always! When you've got a moment, pop on over :) I've got something for you on my blog!

"Live and Let Die" hands down. "Goldfinger" is a close second though.

I can't remember the times I've heard Goldfinger. I agree with the number one placement. Great topic.

You know it is funny Rick...they all sound so similar that I don't think I could pick one over the other...The music is like a "frabchise" too, just like the films are....lol! And I like them all, actually...!

Paul McCartney's song of course! SO OBVIOUS! I adore him and that song is just brilliant.

Hi Rick

Licence to Kill by Glays Knight is my personal favourite Bond soundtrack. I always think it fits the image of James Bond really well. However Shirley Bassey singing Goldfinger is a classic and a song that most of us associate with the Bond films.
