I had totally forgotten about Madonna doing "Die Another Day" - 2002, right?

Co-BOS to Bassey and A-Ha so far.

I have to agree with Urth, hearing this a-ha theme twice in 3 yrs is plenty.

did you catch Peter Hartlaub's recent Chronicle piece on Bond's worst moments?

He hates Sheena Easton's song.  I can see that.

Carly Simon is my 4th fave Bond song.

"Goldfinger", "Live & Let Die" & "You Only Live Twice" in that order for 1-3.

BOS4 A-Ha's underrated "Living Daylights", a huge European hit that flopped on the US charts


Was wondering if that's what this was. I'd banished it from my memory. Not as bad as the current Unholy Mess, but not my fave of the genre.

At the time, I was at ABC, listening to Capital Radio (via satellite) on a daily basis, and they played the hell out of it (no wonder it went to #1 in England). So it's a somewhat fond memory.

BOS5 Carly "makes me feel sad for the rest" -- a college radio buddy of mine thought that line was hilarious.

Ah, this is better. From the Bonds-friendly 70s, when the latest theme seemed to make the charts on a yearly basis. BOS Nobody Does It Better.

Can anyone come up with any Bond themes of the past that didn't make it in the set above? I'm sure there are a few.  So far we haven't heard anything that didn't appear before. (Actually I just thought of one--didn't U2 do a Bond theme?)
U2? -- I Don't think so. But Alice Cooper's "Man With the Golden Gun", which WASN't from the movie, is pretty swell.
Moby did a cool version of the Bond theme in "Tomorrow Never Dies"

Macca was inevitable, I suppose, in this ever-changing world in which we live in. ;)

I was just about to posit that "L&LD" would be the set closer, but obviously now I'm glad I hesitated.  Still BOS #4 tho'.

listen to it with really good headphones sometime, and you'll hear him sing "...in which we're livin'".  It's hard to hear, but it's really there.
