Hi famousjacob,

Yes, my mistake "Nobody does it better" is from "The spy who loved me" and not "Live and let die".
I've never heard anyone sing that with the intensity and passion of Carly Simon.

You Know My name was good, but really a quite ordinary bit of rock made better by dent of the previous four Brosnan Bond songs being utter duds - Madonna's dire Die Another Day in particular.

I'll opt for Diamonds Are Forever and Nobody Does It Better as they're fine songs in their own right, regardless of context.

I think Lu Lus teeny bopper "Man With The Golden Gun" (Ooh-er missus!) was a fun track for the 70's

I'd have to go with "You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra....quintessential Bond.

Oh and there were TWO theme songs to Tomorrow Never Dies...the crap one by Sheryl Crow that the studio insisted on having as the main theme and the truly superb one by K.D Lang which is played at the end....so no-one remembers it.
