So I’m watching the beginning of The World Is Not Enough on basic cable and the title credits song comes on and I’m thinking two things: 1) I like this song! and 2) Isn’t this Garbage?
Then I thought that there have been quite a few 007 movies with memorable songs. Which one is the best?
Then I thought, “Hey that banner tournament that Señor Weaselo put together was pretty fun! How can I ride his coattails to provide some quality #content and settle this question once and for all?”
And then I thought, “Wait, I can do a whole week of this!”
So, without further ado..
Welcome To James Bond Fun With Polls Week!
Today, we start off with the famous James Bond opening credits songs. I’m embedding Youtube links to every single Bond movie song below. Some are well-known and became hits and some… not. It’s your task to determine which one is best.
You will be able to vote for up to five songs. The top vote-getter wins.
In chronological order,

“Thunderball” by Tom Jones
“You Only Live Twice” by Nancy Sinatra
“On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” by The John Barry Orchestra

The poll is below and will be open until midnight Pacific time.
I’ve seen all of the Bond movies at one point or another, but don’t think ( aka know) I have an hour to sit and watch all the openings to really give this an ed-ju-ma-kated vote. And if the Banner bracket has taught me anything ( narrator: Nope, nothing), it shows that every vote counts, so going to skip it at this stage.
Most Iconic: Goldfinger
Best Actual Song: Nobody Does It Better
Most Fun: Live and Let Die
Most Times Seen On MTV When I Was A Teen And Therefore The Winner: A View To A Kill
