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,
The poll is below and will be open until midnight Pacific time.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.(42/69)
The Living Daylights is an underrated gem. I’ll cut anyone who disagrees.
Also, I’d rather insert corkscrews in both of my ears than hear that Sam Smith “song.”
Can I use all of my votes just to down vote Adele’s Skyfall? Because that’s what I’d like to do.
/immediately votes for Skyfall
You’ve made a powerless enemy today, my friend.
It’s better than Die Another Day, that’s for sure.
Adele is to music what Chipotle is to Mexican food. It technically counts, but you still couldn’t pay me to enjoy it.
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.
The poll is open until 3 AM Eastern. Do it at home!
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
Best Name: Octopussy
I mean, the original Goldfinger song is fine, but the remake is MUCH better.

Goldfinger is going to be the answer to all the polls!
[clutches aching head]
Happy Duke Schadenfreude Day Hangover Day and also April Fools’ Day.
We can all agree that Die Another Day is bottom 3 right?
Also it may be recency bias, but I enjoy the Craig era themes.
Madonna and that song can DIAF.
Oh, so that’s not the Madonna one?
Goldfinger is the best theme song, but From Russia With Love is the best art directed title sequence of ALL the 007 films.
That’s tomorrow’s poll.
You can post the winner now because it’s already been decided. Thank you and god bless.
A View To A Kill is easily best! D-squared WOO
Much like Lt. Einhorn’s tuck job, I don’t see any poll.
Check again.

Unlike Lt. Dan, this poll has legs.
