And that would be A View to a Kill. nm - Jim Nov 6, 11:30 2
- those are in my Mount Rushmore of Bond songs for sure. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 11:33 1
  - L&LD and Spy Who Loved Me have the best songs -- nm - zork Nov 6, 11:38
I do think it's strange that it's a "thing". It's just a song that plays during a film. Not sure why it gets the attention. -- nm - volnelk Nov 6, 10:57 9
- Until the latest Bond, they usually were the title song (literally shared the title). So that it was tied a bit closer to the movie. Now, it seems a - Spawn Nov 6, 11:29
- It's a cycle of the music being something that made the early movies great, the desire to do something similar, audience expectations and heavy - Roger More Nov 6, 11:04 5
  - the recent ones have actually been pretty good, Chris Cornell and Sam Smith excepted. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 11:05 4
    - Oh, I'll take Chris Cornell's over Jack White & Alicia Keys' one. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 6, 11:08
    - (and apparently I Eternal Sunshined the Madonna one out of my memory, so that one too) - Reagen Nov 6, 11:08 1
      - People mock, but A-ha's Living Daylights is a catchy 80's tune in line with "Don't Forget About Me". - Name Withheld By Request Nov 6, 11:09
    - "the coldest brrr runs through my veins" is not a great lyric, but neither is most of Skyfall -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 11:07
- The fact that I really only know maybe 5 of these songs tells me all I need to know. - groiny Nov 6, 10:59
- It's a tradition. An institution. But ... I don't get it either. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 10:59
You're weird. -- nm - David Nov 6, 10:49 14
- I have zero issue with you liking Live and Let Die. Elevating it above *all* Beatles songs? That's madness. -- nm - TWuG Nov 6, 10:54 6
  - It's *as good* as any Beatles song and better than nearly all. Of course, Paul wrote the music for most of the Beatles' songs. -- nm - zork Nov 6, 11:27 1
    - I'll respectfully disagree with that. It's good and it's as good as any of his solo stuff...but it's really upper middle of the pack - Jim Nov 6, 11:38
  - It is on my list of top 10 Paul songs. There are a couple other non-Beatles on there as well. -- nm - Spawn Nov 6, 11:01 2
    - It should be #1! -- nm - David Nov 6, 11:23 1
      - When I'm Sixty-Four is one that tops it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 6, 11:25
  - right, I like Live and Let Die quite a bit, but yeah. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:57
- you are not really talking about a hotbed of musical greatness there. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:51 6
  - It's not about musical greatness though, just about capturing the spirit of a fun movie. -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 10:55 5
    - (not that I have any problem with Beatles > Bond music. Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da = best = David level trolling) -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 10:58 1
      - No, it and Hey Jude are the best ones. - David Nov 6, 11:22
    - Goldfinger does that well (its the only bond song all about the bad guy) -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 6, 10:58 2
      - Well, all but 5 songs now have been titled the same as the movie. -- nm - Spawn Nov 6, 11:03
      - The Man with the Golden Gun -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 11:00
Nobody Does It Better, For Your Eyes Only, View to a Kill. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 6, 10:48
Never mind. Did not realize this was a continuation of some DLC. -- nm* - Spawn Nov 6, 10:46
