I have a real soft spot for The Spy Who Loved Me theme Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon though Ye, I'll give you the Cornell one, I was well into that Seatlle grunge stuff circa 90, liked Badmotorfinger and Superunknown a lot, what a rock voice, sad he went. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Chris Cornell - You know my name. By far my favourite Bond song. God I miss him & Chester 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) You only live twice and I'll tell you why... The genius of the old John Barry written theme tunes was he then cut that theme tune in to the main orchestral score of the film With that in mind the strings of YOLT are absolutely perfect for the film and its Japanese paradise setting, the song is ochestrally heavier than a lot of other bond theme songs As a stand alone song it's not the best, that's the spy who loved me Edited September 30, 2021 by villa4europe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked this but preferred the Jarvis Cocker cover on the David Arnold Bond theme revisit album Shaken and Stirred (the Iggy Pop version of We Have All The Time In The World is also terrific!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 His Name Is James Bond is a very funny theme song. A poster called Onyx BlackScale has posted it on YouTube for anyone that wants to look it up I'd post a link on here but I'd get another warning.

Only2McInallys Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 There have been many great James Bond themes even Aha But ultimately the Barry Bassey combination Diamonds,Goldfinger etc is unsurpassable . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
