The dirge-train arrives in 1981 at Sheena Easton-ville. ‘For Your Eyes Only’ - Sheena Easton (For Your Eyes Only) ‘All Time High’ - Rita Coolidge (Octopussy)Īs forgettable as the film it’s joined to.Ģ0. ‘Moonraker’ - Shirley Bassey (Moonraker)įittingly, the dreary ’Moonraker’ ranks very low down the list: Moonraker itself is the worst Bond film ever released.Ģ1. It’s a shame that the film featuring the jet pack of dreams had to get such a dreadfully dull theme song.Ģ2. More dirge for the sixties audience-surprising, considering so much brilliant music came out at the time. ‘From Russia With Love’ - Matt Monro (From Russia With Love)
‘Writing On The Wall’ - Sam Smith (Spectre)Ī disappointing return to the crooning dirge of old, 2015’s Spectre got a dull single in the form of ‘Writing On The Wall’ by Sam Smith complete with glass-shattering falsettos.Ģ3. Read on to see how we ranked them in the ultimate list:Ģ4. The remaining 24 are a mixed bag of some of the pop world's greatest artists writing songs that vary from transcendent beauty to absolute dreadfulness.
For the purposes of this list, we have excluded John Barry's original 'James Bond Theme', the official song written for the debut canon Bond film Dr. So it is with the theme songs, a staple of the genre since John Barry crooned his way into oblivion on 'From Russia With Love'. As with any franchise that seems to have no end, there are spots of total brilliance-and total stinkers too. For nearly sixty years, James Bond has ruled the box office around the world with its seemingly never-ending string of blockbuster spy movies.
