Title: Bond music. Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, April 6, 2009, 17:58:20 Music for Bond, James Bond.
Love him or hate him, he has had some outstanding intro tunes and soundtracks. What are your favourites. Here's mine for starters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZdsIj4pAzQ Title: Re: Bond music.

To contribute... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN8GcRGNWe4 Title: Re: Bond music. Post by: Ardiles on Monday, April 6, 2009, 18:03:59 I have a Bond track CD. I am ready for the abuse.
I've never been able to put my finger on what it is, but there is definitely a Bond sound when it comes to title tracks. It's something to do with the way the music is written...intervals etc. I remember listening to the Sheryl Crow effort in the late 1990s and thinking 'that's got to be for a Bond film' even before I knew the film was coming out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKGvE1pWNm8 Tom Jones is known for breaking microphones, listen from 2.15 to 2.24. You need thunderballs to sing that. Title: Re: Bond music. Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 07:18:04 Trivia question, why was Shena Easton unique as a Bond singer? Is she the one who's actually in the opening credits bit singing it? I think it's one of my least seen bond films to be honest. No Carly Simon yet? Weak Tef, weak. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO8FZJ_UIn4 Title: Re: Bond music. Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 07:54:08 still one of my favourite bond films and a classic tune, although Live and let die is the best tune.

It's my karioke classic :D Title: Re: Bond music. Post by: DV on Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 15:08:59 I have all the Bond songs and all the movie soundtracks on my ipod because im a sad bastard.
All the proper decent ones have been mentioned but purely because of the way its used in the film Louie Armstrongs we have all the time in the world deserves a mention Title: Re: Bond music. Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 15:15:25 That's probably my favourite song of all time. It's my karioke classic :D Glang-Glang-a-lang :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcVxKBW5oh4 Title: Re: Bond music. Post by: Ardiles on Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 15:20:07 'Stop getting Bond wrong!'
A classic. If we'er voting for our favourite Bond tracks (which I know we're not), then 'For Your Eyes Only' gets my vote. Title: Re: Bond music. Post by: nevillew on Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 15:41:47 "For Your Eyes Only" for me
Closely followed by Goldeneye, mainly for the violin twanging in the intro. "All Time High" (Octopussy) pretty good as well. |
