1. A View to a Kill... or The Living Daylights.
Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 12:24 PM by HypnoToad
Duran Duran and A-Ha respectively...

On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a nice #3...

BTW: Who's this "Kames Bond" you refer to? :evilgrin:

4. When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say Live and Let Live
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But when this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say Live and Let Die....

There's a great use of that song in Grosse Point Blank....

5. "You Only Live Twice", sung by Nancy Sinatra.
It's absolutely the best of the theme songs, IMO.

I prefer Thunderball but they're both great.

13. He always runs while others walk
He acts while other men just talk.
He looks at this world, and wants it all,
So he strikes
Like Thunderball.

He knows the meaning of success.
His needs are more, so he gives less.
They call him the winner who takes all.
And he strikes
Like Thunderball.

Any woman he wants, he’ll get.
He will break any heart without regret.

His days of asking are all gone.
His fight goes on and on and on.
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all.
So he strikes
Like Thunderball!

16. "Tomorrow Never Dies" by Sheryl Crowe.
Incredible song. Cynical, world-weary, mistrustful and, well, Sheryl Crowe. Absolute favorite.

25. "Goldfinger" did have the fabulous Shirley Bassey...
but my fave still is "YOu Only Live Twice". "YOLT" took place in Japan...and the tune has a nice way of referencing it. Plus, Nancy Sinatra was a great choice to sing it. :-)

21. "The World Is Not Enough" by Garbage
Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 05:55 PM by Floogeldy
I know how to hurt
I know how to heal
I know what to show
And what to conceal

I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died
From wanting too much

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you’re strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

People like us
Know how to survive
There’s no point in living
If you can’t feel the life

We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can’t have it all
Then nobody will

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you’re strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

I...i feel sick
I...i feel scared
I...i feel ready
And yet unprepared

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you’re strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

The world is not enough
The world is not enough

:)
