Live Poll: Best James Bond Song (That Isn't a James Bond Song)

  These songs weren't actually the theme songs for 007 films, but they should've been! They all have a mysterious, faraway sound that most Bond themes use. I mean, just picture the typical 007 opening credits with them playing - perfect!

Which is your favorite? Note: The song titles are links to the YouTube videos.

List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls094530078/

Poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/_laRGaGJ5M4/


Please suggest your cool songs with YouTube links!

The link isn't for the artist, but the actual song I'm talking about.

Yes, but you are connecting your songs to unofficial channels.

I think that it would be better to use the songs that the artists are already providing in their youtube channels

Is this poll based on board members' choices or are there specific rules for suggesting?

I have two trick or inside joke suggestions because they were BOTH USED in THE SAME James Bond movie, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, but were not the theme song of the movies (which was an instrumental overture*).

I had learned about this one from a cd that I own called “The Best Of James Bond” (it covers the songs from “Dr. No” to “Tomorrow Never Dies”) and it was on there. Louis Armstrong and The Duke Ellington Orchestra, “ We Have All The Time In The World” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RMxRDTf... ( yes, the title is ironic considering what happens next in the film. And it you listen very closely, the song incorporates as popular Bond motif in the music.)

The other is a Christmas song that I had learned because I collect Christmas songs as a hobby, and it does come from “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, “Do You Know How Christmas Trees are” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-G7wkvx... Yup, that is the James Bond Christmas song and it is played in the background at the airport and ice rink scenes and is on the soundtrack album to the film. Go ahead and look up the soundtrack to the film. It is on there. Bond has a Christmas song.

* one of two James Bond movies that have an instrumental overture as it’s theme. The other, or course, is “Dr. No”.)

Those are great, but this is for songs that aren't remotely related to a Bond movie.  Sorry.

I’m working on a related poll to your, “Bond Songs that are NOT the Title Theme Song”. It is songs from the movies AND are on the soundtrack albums but are not not that movie’s theme song. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls099115323/
There is a lot of them, especially from Doctor No but I haven’t listed them yet. Some of them are good, some of them are not so good and some of them are great! Did you know that The Pretenders, Patti LaBelle, and MOby did songs for the Bond movies? Moby put word to the Bond ‘Dr. No’ overatire.

Going to use this bump as an opportunity to tell you all about a literary adventure I'm taking...
so, there's this podcast called 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back.  Mike Nelson (of MST3K and RiffTrax) and Conor Lastowka (of RiffTrax and Jeopardy) read through AWFUL books.  It's hilarious.
I'm reading along for the terrible, weird fanfic story My Immortal.

It is by far the strangest thing they've done yet (in my opinion), and I'm laughing out loud as I read it.  Join us, if you dare.  The whole book is online.  It's a crazy and hilarious ride.  :)

SO much worse.  
Actual quote from it:

...I was looking into the pale white face of a gothic boy with spiky black hair with red streaks in it. He was wearing so much eyeliner that I was going down his face and he was wearing black lipstick. He didn’t have glasses anymore and now he was wearing red contact lenses just like Draco’s and there was no scar on his forhead anymore. He had a manly stubble on his chin. He had a sexy English accent. He looked exactly like Joel Madden. He was so sexy that my body went all hot when I saw him kind of like an erection only I’m a girl so I didn’t get one you sicko.

“I’m so sorry.” he said in a shy voice.

“That’s all right. What’s your name?” I questioned.

“My name’s Harry Potter, although most people call me Vampire these days.” he grumbled.

“Why?” I exclaimed.

“Because I love the taste of human blood.” he giggled.

“Well, I am a vampire.” I confessed.

“Really?” he whimpered.

“Yeah.” I roared.

And later...

“NO!” I THOUGHT IT WAS HAIRgrid but it was Vampire. He started to scream. “OMFG! NOOOOO! MY SCAR HURTS!” and then..... his eyes rolled up! You could only see his red whites.

I stopped. “How did u know?”

“I saw it! And my scar turned back into the lightning bolt!”

“NO!” I ran up closer. “I thought you didn’t have a scar anymore!” I shouted.

“I do but Diabolo changed it into a pentagram for me and I always cover it up with foundation.” he said back. “Anyway my scar hurt and it turned back into the lightning bolt! Save me! then I had a vision of what was happening to Draco................Volfemort has him bondage!”

Anyway I was in the school nurse’s office now recovering from my slit wrists. Snap and Loopin and HAHRID were there too. They were going to St. Mango’s after they recovered cause they were pedofiles and you can’t have those fucking pervs teaching in a school with lots of hot gurlz. Dumbledore had constipated the cideo camera they took of me naked. I put up my middle finger at them.

So... yeah.

When I think of James Bond-style songs, I think they should go with a great title sequence.

Shirley Bassey - The Liquidator (1965)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR7OlpVJWjE

Celine Dion - Ashes (Deadpool 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_P8FTQZ7IQ

Skylar Grey - Everything I Need (Aquaman)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scJISfGpfEc

Kendrick Lamar - All the Stars are Closer (Black Panther)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQbjS0_ZfJ0

@albstein Yello are always amazing. Come to think of it, it's weird they were never contenders for a Bond movie theme song!
