    I have removed several posts from this thread that are not required.
    Further breaches of forum behaviour including pointless arguing or offensive language will see all those involved cautioned with warnings.
    It's only a game people. It holds no merit, will not be etched into the thoughts of Bond fans for all time. In ten years, no-one is going to look back and question the votes people have cast.
    If you don't agree with the rules, the wording of the game or anything that might offend you, then simply don't take part.
    Please continue in a dignified, grown up way. Thanks.

    Drop GF, DAF, & YOLT and I'll join you.

    This is simply a music trivia question I have to ask, is there a reason the instrumental version of FRWL was picked for the title sequence and the lyric version saved for later in the film?

    These are only my thoughts on the matter. I haven't seen this discussed by critics or filmmakers.
    I think the reason the instrumental was used to open FRWL was because the title song, vocal-treatment precedent, had not yet been established. Shirley Bassey's GF, got that going with the next film, no doubt inspired by Matt Monro's end-title vocal efforts to close FRWL.
    Also, the opening-titles music to FRWL is not actually a FRWL instrumental, its a medley of both FRWL and The JB Theme. The JB Theme figures as prominently as Barry's FRWL theme.
    With this being only the second film, I think Barry and Eon wished to continue with the JB Theme, whilst also incorporating the new film's own distinct theme. :-B
    GF represented the bold new foray into opening-title vocal tracks.
