I would concur with you, with one major exception. I hear "Live and Let Die" played often...maybe not so much in a chain department store, but it's around. A coworker plays the oldies and I swear that song is played daily.
The strangest place I ever heard a Bond track was in a nightclub. It was GoldenEye.
Yeah it's just a romantic song to go with the tone of the ending I guess.
Of course we forgot the rugby club version of Nobody Does It Better! :)
That's a really weird place for GoldenEye! :D
I agree with “If There Was a Man”; it's a great song.
I actually like "Tomorrow Never Dies" but wish that a stronger vocalist, possibly Whitney Houston or Ann Wilson, had performed it.
I actually enjoyed it more in that moment than I did before and have done since. The liquor possibly had something to do with it! ;)
I don't usually comment on typos but can't resist this one: Chrissie's last name is spelled Hynde. I would be interested in seeing her performance of Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde, though...
I could probably comment all day long on the topic of "Where have you heard Bond Theme songs? Radio, stores, other movies?" My best memory of hearing a theme as muzak in a store was sometime in the mid-seventies, in my local grocery store. The descending instrumental line from "You Only Live Twice" caught my attention. "Oh, that's pretty," I thought. "I recognize that...what is it? Some kind of Bond theme, I think...." Took me a minute to identify it.

The Bondie for me goes to If You Asked Me To in possibly the tightest contest so far.
Suicide Squad had a very popular one; but before that, the last series to have really had a popular soundtrack compilation with every release, that I can remember, was Twilight.
Yeah that sounds right. I'm sure there must be a few we've missed but it does seem much rarer now. For instance the first two Mission Impossibles had pretty well known hit songs that went along with them, and although the series is still running (and probably making even more money) that ended a while ago.
I remember Batman Forever had two massive songs.
I remember being pleasantly surprised that Star Trek Beyond had an end titles song by Rihanna: it actually felt like a bit of a throwback! It was quite good as well as I recall.
Guardians Of the Galaxy?
One by U2 and the other by Seal! Glorious stuff. I actually still quite like those songs, too! :P
That's a good shout, @Thunderfinger! I hadn't thought of those films - they both had big albums with them.
And Yeah along with Radiohead and Coldplay, I love U2....Love their 'Hold me, Thrill me, Kiss me, Kill me' song from Batman Forever.
:D True....I love Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr's take on the Mission Impossible Theme, so modern and futuristic.

That's what I meant to say... ha!
My dearest academy members we now need to reset the votes and only vote for either one of these songs:
Which is the best outro, or end title song of the series?
