The top five James Bond title songs

Honorary mention: On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which trumps everything you're about to hear, but is disqualified because it is not "a song." The only thing stopping me to call it an audio orgasm is that ridiculous synth.





 #5: Moonraker, by Shirley Bassey. Really the only love song in the entire series that's any good (except for "We Have All The Time in the World," and we're limiting this to just title songs). Shame about the rest of the film.



#4: Thunderball, by Tom Jones. "And he strikes like Thunderball" is an admittedly weak line. The rest of the song is pure awesome.



#3:  GoldenEye, by Tina Turner. One of the few times the song actually has anything to do with the film, rather than just stuffing in the title somewhere.



#2: Live and Let Die, by Paul McCartney and Some People Who Are Not John, George and Ringo


#1: Goldfinger, by Shirley Bassey. Because yeah.
