It's rude.
As for your question, I'm afraid I disagree on that one. A forgettable Bond theme.
Something like Nancy Sinatra's 'You Only Live Twice' or Carly Simon's 'Nobody Does It Better' would be a better way to start my day. Though I'm not in the habit of waking up to Bond.
No effort to be rude.
Understood.
How about Madonna. Die Another Day?
well this is some guy who made video about his favourite theme song.
about Madona i dont know why people hate the song.anyway yea i agree it fits with those new mileniun Bond movies
The whole reason for Bond Movie acceptance among movie goers in both USA and UK is the music.
Not everyone spends their day on line. It's what makes BOND, ONLY BOND.
Did you ever hear of a Bourne Identity Girl.
Come On Chaps.
As for Licence To Kill, it feels like a Goldfinger rehash right out of the gate, and does little to distinguish itself from other Bond songs; a tired retread. (The consequences of the powers-that-be establishing a template for "what a Bond song should be" back in 1965 by echoing Goldfinger with Thunderball.)
Die Another Day, on the other hand certainly deserves credit for trying something different. That said, I hate almost all of the stylistic choices made with it: it somehow relies on auto tuning even in the absence of melody. The string and percussion parts are appallingly repetitive. Trying something new is a noble endeavor and all, but in order to do it successfully, some actual ideas need to be brought to the table. Die Another Day has very, very few of them (thus the repetitious nature).
The Gladys Knight song lacked the quality her earlier stuff did have, this song left me kind of cold as does most of the soundtrack.
I think of the rockers: The Man With The Golden Gun, Casino Royale, or A View to a Kill.
LALD would do too. Certainly not License to Kill, one of the more blander entries in the series.
Another Way to Die would wake me up too, but I would probably be pissed off the rest of the day
something by Cheech & Chong?
"One toke over the line"?
as for "License To Kill", it doesn't make my Bond playlist
original Bond theme from DN, GF, TSWLM, LALD, OHMSS (instrumental), YOLT & CR make up the first division for me
"waiting for the train to go home sweet Mary,
hoping that the train is on time,
sitting down town in a railway station,
one toke over the line..."
Licence To Kill is a very good title song, but not one of the greats. I'd be fine with it if it were the first song I heard in the morning.
The ones that I either mute or skip over are DAD and AWTD. If either was on the radio, I'd change the station.
As for the best title songs, my favorites are "For Your Eyes Only", "Nobody Does it Better", "You Know My Name", and "The Living Daylights".
