I liked Skyfall until someone on here posted that the chorus sounded like a pissed pub singer, and now thats all I can think about when I hear it - because it does

The juries out until I see the movie. Difficult to pin down a favourite, but I think a view to a kill by Duran Duran is rather good!

Best Bond film too

The bit of the new theme I heard earlier is utter soulless crap, generic chart fodder shat out through the Cowell patented bilge filter that seems to be so prolific these days- maybe a more inspired choice of singer/writer next time, instead of the flavour of the month, forgotten by next year artist

I remember when the Duran Duran one came out and everyone slated it! Same with Aha!

I like Carly Simon, Louis Armstrong and Goldeneye-(performed by Tina Turner but written by U2)

But my favourite has to be From Russia with Love performed by Matt Monro- and the film takes some beating too imo xx

I absolutely love the camp old James Bond films and theme songs.

My favourites are

Gladys Knight License to Kill

Shirley Bassey Gold Finger

Sheena Easton For Your Eyes Only

Duran Duran View to a Kill (not camp...but SO cool!)

I really dislike the new films...although BF would strongly disagree

Sam Smith's song is very bland and forgettable compared to previous Bond theme tunes, most of which have been brilliant songs.

Skyfall sounded like an iconic Bond theme, but became annoying when it sounded like she was singing "Skyfawwww" - singers should really enunciate!

I've only heard one play so far & I thought it sounded okay.

I think the Bond songs come 'alive' more when you see the film on the big screen, a glimpse of the storyline being set & then 'bam' the theme kicks in!!

It sounded alright, but not particularly catchy. I feel like I'd need to hear it loads to be able to sing along to it in the car (that's the mark of a good Bond song for me).

Do you know how to enunciate the L while holding the note on the A (and you don't sing the sound A in the usual way you speak the letter A)

Shirley Bassey managed to not sing "Golfinger"....but then she's managed a 60 year career and won't be having to enunciate on a 'I'm a C list celeb in a house desperate for fame' in about 5 years

I have heard the New one, by Sam Smith. Don't think it will ever be a classic. Gold Finger, Live and Let Die, are probably my two favourites.

You can't really compare the two tho.

The D in Goldfinger needs to be pronounced where as the A 'Awww' vowel in Skyfall is the main sound / note of that word.

Not all songs need every word enunciated as they would sound clipped & proper, especially Pop music.

Correct

And the shape of the mouth when singing the ol sound in goldfinger is easier than the shape of the mouth to sing the A in fall
