While his predecessor, Pierce Brosnan, kickstarted his era with Tina Turner, powerhousing through a tune written by Bono and The Edge (I'm very grateful Tina was chosen to perform it, because for some reason I feel U2 would have murdered it!):
A-ha got to do the first track for the Timothy Dalton Bond, something that I keep forgetting for some reason.
The one and only Paul McCartney wrote, and performed through Wings, the song for the first Roger Moore-starring Bond movie, which honestly I usually fail to remember because for me "Live and Let Die" is a totally standalone single that I in no way associate with Bond.
If I'm not mistaken, the first Lazenby (lone one) and Connery movies did instrumental songs, which is great and everything, but is it a Bond song if it doesn't have cheesy lyrics? Discuss.
And now I close with my favorite Bond song, because I'm the article writer and therefore NEENER NEENER, which is the theme to the remarkably camp and totally weird The World is not Enough as performed by Garbage:
And, also ("why, please, stop, Whistler!" - you) this Pulp track that ended up not being chosen for Tomorrow Never Dies, because fuck you MGM that's why.
Okay, so now comes the question part: What's your favorite Bond movie song? Which runner-up song for the theme (like the Pulp one above) you think deserved to be chosen and why?
