I am not going to lie. I am not a fan of the new James Bond choices. The title; it’s ok. The Poster: ugh, so bland and doesn’t even represent anything about James bond (with the exception of the tiny 007 just thrown in there.) and the James bond girl: not bad, she’s…pretty. For months I have been waiting for them to release the James Bond Theme song. The James Bond theme song is almost as iconic as James Bond himself. From Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger”(and other amazing songs she did for the franchise) to Sam Smith’s “Writings on the Wall,” The release of the JB Theme song has been a big deal! What’s even bigger is the information release of the artist that that will perform the song. Imagine my surprise when I find out that the artist for the theme song to “No Time to Die” is Billie Eilish. Don’t get me wrong. I like her as an artist; I just don’t know if she has what it takes to stand amongst the greats! Here are my favorite top ten James Bond Theme Songs:
10. “Diamonds are Forever” By Shirley Bassey (Diamonds are Forever)
9. “You only live Twice” By Nancy Sinatra (You Only Live Twice)
8. “Nobody Does it Better” By Carly Simon (The Spy who loved me)
7. “Another Way to Die” By Alicia Keys and Jack White (Quantum of Solace)
6. “A View to Kill” By Duran Duran (A View to Kill)
5. “The World is not Enough” By Garbage (The World is Not Enough)
4. “Skyfall” By Adele (Skyfall)
3. “GoldenEye” By Tina Turner (GoldenEye)
2. Writing’s on the Wall” By Sam Smith(Spectre)
1. “Live and Let Die” By Paul McCartney (Live and Let Die)
This was a hard list to make because all the James bond songs are so well known, and the artist is so Iconic. I really hope Billie Eilish can compete! What is/was your favorite James Bond Theme Song?
