Love the Live and Let Die theme, but I have an unpleasant memory attached to it as well. When McCartney toured in '90, I had front-row seats at Memorial Stadium. And when they did this song, every time they reached the crescendo, they'd set off huge flashpots that I'm sure looked great from the back of the stadium. Well, they were about 15 feet in front of me. And they set them off like three times. So I was temporarily deafened, and I had one big spot burned into my vision for the next two or three songs.

Other than that it wasn't too bad.  :o

Dare I venture a guess this is the Gladys Knight theme? The chords on the intro borrow liberally from Goldfinger.

Far better than the White/Keys theme is this hilarious parody "Quantum of Solace" song from some British guy. VERY funny.
