The Greatest Bond theme of all time

Post by Skywalker »

This is a tournament to keep the forum lively.

I'm sure we have all posted this on other sites, but it's always fun. I will select 2 random Bond title theme songs which will be pitted against each other.

Each day there will be two songs going up against each other, until we get a winner.

Ok so here we go. Mrs Skywalker has kindly selected the ties.

Thunderball (Tom Jones) vs All time High (Rita Coolidge)
“I'd like to thank the Royal Marines for bringing me in like that and scaring the s--- out of me,” Bond Hardman Daniel Craig.

Ok round 1 is over and the scores are in.

All time high = 4 votes
Thunderball = 2 votes.

All time high progresses to round 2 and Thunderball goes into the mixer.

Ok, time for the next match up and I have included Louis Armstrong as this is a notable entry and deserves it's place in the tournament.

Licence to kill (Gladys Knight) vs We have all the time (Louis Armstrong)

How are these matches being decided?
That's a pretty unfair pairing considering the nature of this site.
:wink:

The Bond theme for me.
Could anyone think that YKMN is better?
