Number 8 only [:(] Nancy deserves a little more

I am listening to Sixx:A.M. - Riot In My Head.
That album is my new jam for sure.

This next song has a bit of a 'Bond from the sixties' feel to it but I think the vocal lets it down a bit. Still a good rousing number though.

Number 7:

The World is Not Enough – Garbage (The World is Not Enough – 1999)

Speaking of rousing numbers, just missing out on the Top 5 its this from Paul McCartney and Wings - what a beauuuuuuutiful day - good film too!

Number 6:

Live and Let Die – Wings (Live and Let Die – 1973)

"The Big Store"

This next one is interesting - maybe in time will climb higher in the rankings; it combines a kind of Shirley Bassey type powerful voice with a big band sound. I like the inclusion of the unmistakeable Bond theme within the song too. Nice.

Number 5

Skyfall – Adele (Skyfall – 2012)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HKoqNJtMTQ

The next song - just missing out on the podium places - is an underrated band with a song from an underrated Bond - Timothy Dalton. An upbeat poppy tune - but sufficiently serious with it.

Number 4

The Living Daylights – A-ha (The Living Daylights - 1987)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXM4eIoPZUU

So who will the top three be on this all time officially all time official Bond them top 12?

Well I will have to keep you in suspenders for a bit longer - but here's a clue. They are all female singers....

From the NPR Field Recordings series...

Lawrence Brownlee & Jason Moran - There's A Man Going Round Taking Names

Best wishes,

In the bronze medal spot we have this powerful number from Gladys Knight (sans Pips). Another excellent Bond film to go with an excellent song.

Number 3

Licence to Kill – Gladys Knight (Licence to Kill – 1989)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dslJ-xLO4s

The silver spot goes to this mellow little number with an excellent orchestral arrangement and strong vocals

Number 2

All Time High – Rita Coolidge (Octopussy – 1983)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFurkDf6WXg

So what is THE bestest ever Bond toon? Well its this rather beautiful little toon from that Scottish songstress Sheena Easton (whatever happened to her?).

Number 1

For Your Eyes Only – Sheena Easton (For Your Eyes Only 1981)
