Please dont hate me for this guys but i kinda did like the theme song to Skyfall. Its very Shirley Bassey like and very classic Bond sounding. At times the song made me think Shirley was singing, Adele sounds almost just like her.

GoldenEye gets my vote, but Tomorrow Never Dies and The World Is Not Enough are okay too.

The World Is Not Enough is a very beautiful song, but it was done for the wrong entry. So did the title, which didn't suit the film, at all. The film should've had a different title, as its rumoured title at the time was Dangerously Yours. But, Bond's family motto should've been used for the 20th entry in the series, which should've been dealing with a blast from Bond's past.

I have to say Madonna's DAD is the best of the bunch, didn't like it when it first came out in 2002 but it's pretty good even if it doesn't have the classic Bond feel to it.

Cool video as well. :lol:

And of course you can say Skyfall is a good song even if it's a Craig flick, I like it too and it does have that classic Bond feel. That song is the best aspect of the Skyfall movie.

Agree about Skyfall - like AVTAK, it's a better theme than the film deserves.

Skyfall song for me was completely in a wrong place and a wrong entry, as well.

Adele is a incredible singer and the over all music of Skyfall was not bad adopting many classic Bond sounds, however the Song itself, the lyrics, were atrocious. Almost as if they were lampooning 'Weird' Al's Spy Hard.
My vote is for GoldenEye.

Goldfinger didnt have the best of lyrics either with its constant use of the word finger. Or as Shirley said it, FINGAH

Skyfall song was good but it was placed in the wrong entry. Where should it have been? Bond gets killed in the end, falls into the water and sinks down, as the credits roll in, and the Skyfall song starts playing. Don't worry, he will return to take his revenge in the movie following it and surprise his archenemies, unleashing hell upon them as the traditional Bond adventure continues to take place. That's how it would've been.

The World is Not enough, I feel it merged for the time a more modern feel while maintaining the Bond vibe. DAD I did like but not a much as the others (BC -Before Craig) While not a bad song and not a great song it is enjoyable and it sort of captured the first 45 minutes of the movie.

What nobody voted for "Another Way To Die"?


I voted Goldeneye. Traditional sound from Tina who should have done a 007 song along time before

In my opinion, DAD is a good song ONLY if used for a thriller movie like Hostel or some sort. You know what I mean? But it's no way a spy song!!

It completely captures the essence of the Daniel Craig films.

I don't really like any these much. Licence To Kill was the last great Bond song. I think Surrender by KD Lang (sic?) should have been the main TND theme and was a missed opportunity.
