Two very weak entries, but hey. MR is Bassey and Bassey and Bond go together like Laurel and Hardy.

AVTAK. Best part of the movie for me (in fact the video for the song was more fun than the actual movie).

You Left #1 Out

Post by AMERIBOND »

You left out the theme song that started all the Bond theme songs. Underneath The Mango Tree. Both James Bond and Honey actually SANG this song in the movie.( Dubbed of course) But unique to the Bond movies. Dr No was as different a Bond Movie as was CR, in many ways. The most being Connery could act circles around Craig. The least being Connery didn't mind singing a few words of the theme song. My favorite Bond movie. The one that started it all.

You make a fair point. I did consider including it, but eventually decided not too. SORRY.

Great response to the last round Chaps. Keep it up. :)

My vote goes to AVTAK although I do enjoy Goldeneye.

Ok the scores are in. (Not sure what the Count was voting for)

A View to a Kill = 7 votes
Goldeneye = 0 votes.

AVTAK progresses to round 2 and GE goes into the mixer.

Ok, time for the next match up

The World is not Enough (Garbage) vs Live and let Die (Paul McCartney and the Wings)

I hate having to make this decision, because I love Garbage, and thought their theme song was fantastic. having said this I am going with Paul McCartney and Wings. Live and Let Die is arguably the greatest Bond theme not sung by Shirley Bassey.
p.s.-Paul's new CD is great!
