If the song is played slower, it sounds more like a traditional Bond song, and would have been much improved as a title. Note the instrumentals in TMWTGG as this theme is played slowly.James wrote:I think I prefer Lulu, although that wasn't a classic either. I think John Barry said The Man With The Golden Gun was his least favourite Bond theme but I didn't think it was that bad.
It could also have been rendered like YOLT, a nice rhythm.

Talking about Lulu's song in credits. Although of course they could have used a different singer and entirely different arrangement. The melody itself is Barry 'at least good enough.'Kristatos wrote:Are you talking about the Lulu or the Alice Cooper song?Commander 0077 wrote:If the song is played slower, it sounds more like a traditional Bond song, and would have been much improved as a title.
