  1. What's the Bond song that you find yourself singing along to most often?

    For me it's Matt Monro's From Russia With Love. I just can't help start crooning to this one.

    Does anyone else hear the babbling voice at ~1:05 (track 10)? And if you didn't before you certainly will now! smile

    Uh? I'll have to give it another listen?!

    Love Monro's voice though, even Sinatra was extremely impressed.

    Goldfinger will always be the best Bond song. I don't sing any, but I think You Know My Name would be the one I'd hum the most. wink

    Yep! Goldfinger is the epitome of Bond songs.

    'You Know My Name' was definitely the best Bond song in quite some time, shame it wasn't featured on the soundtrack album.

    Some time ago it was A view to Kill and License to Kill. But "you Know My name" is the winner right now (more as a motif than as a song , thought)

    James, I'd also add the seriously underrated 'If There Was A Man', a wonderful end song to a Bond film.

    A great high for Barry to go out to. cool

    You're right. I had intended to put that at the end of my list, but didn't (for reasons which escape me),

    I always sing along with Bacharach's Casino Royale!

    The formula is safe with old Double-O-Seven
    He's got a redhed in his arms
    Though he's a lover, when you're in trouble
    Have no fear!
    Look who's here!
    JAAAAAAAAAAMES
    BONNNNNNNNNNND


    They've got us on the run
    With guns
    And knives

    We're fighting for our lives!

    Have no fear, Bond is here!



    They just don't make 'em like that any more! biggrin

    My favorites:

    Nobody Does It Better (the perfect Bond song, the first one about James Bond himself, and should be played at Connery's funeral.

    From Russia With Love (especially the opening without the voice)
    Goldfinger
    Surrender
    Goldeneye
    Live and Let Die
    We Have All The Time In The World
    All Time High

    The problem with singing along to Bond songs is that most of the best ones are really quite hard to sing. From Russia With Love is within my range, so that's the one for me.
