| 007 songs
Folks,
I just had a best of 007 type CD playing and I was curious:
What are your two favorite James Bond main title songs by male and female artists?
For me, "The Spy Who Loved Me" with Carly Simon is a great paean to James Bond and everything that's so damned fun about his movies. The lyrics are perfect and the delivery is well done by Carly. "Goldfinger" comes a very close second. Shirley Bassey was incredible.
The ultimate James Bond song, however, is "Thunderball". The Welsh should have made this guy a national hero, Tom Jones. His high Bb at the end is a stunning finish for a great song. The cool thing about the song is that you really are left up in the air as to whether the song is about the villain, Emilio Largo, or 007. The text applies to both.
All right, those are my votes from the old fart pool. What say you?
