TMWTGG isn't the best song but the one I like to listen to the most.
LALD and Nobody does it better arec also good songs but the latter is a bit too slow that I would listen to it often.
MR, FYEO and OP feature love songs which are a bit boring. Fortunately, Barry knows how to use these songs well as orchestral variations during the movies.
AVTAK is much better than these songs but TMWTGG is my guilty pleasure and gets the Bondie.
The klebbie goes to the most boring of the triple boredom songs: All time high.
I love your Bondie, @goldenswissroyale … also a guilty favourite of mine. Crass and over the top, but it knows it!
Klebbie: MR. It's just so forgettable, one of the most forgettable of the series. Does anybody actually go around humming this one or had it stuck in their head?
I actually interviewed Sheena Easton last year in advance of her performing in my town and she said FYEO is her most popular and requested song. I'd have thought it was 9 to 5/Morning Train as it's kind of her signature tune. She told me the popularity of Bond with various age groups has a lot to do with it.
Very cool bit of info there, @BT3366 !! The power of Bond is strong...
I think MR would have been a classic if Frank Sinatra had done it.
As it is, it's one of the worst. Low energy and low key.
Klebbie: TMWTGG, still one of the worst Bond themes, the introduction was okay, but once Lulu starts to sing, it goes downhill from there full of cringiness, it's just too whimsical, just bad.
Lets give out the Klebbie first, the worst theme song to a Roger Moore Bond film is...The Man With the Golden Gun accepting the award to Sir With Love is Lulu!
On to the Bondie side, the best theme song to a Roger Moore Bond film is...Live and Let Die accepting the award is Sir Paul McCartney!
Wow, here is the vote break down:
LALD, NDIB and AVTAK received no Klebbies. All Time High was the only theme to not receive a Bondie vote.
All right lets take the remaining songs along with some un-official songs and come up with a Bondie and Klebbie.
The nominees are:
We have a two instrumentals from two films in the 60's, a jazzy song from NSNA, an 80's alternative song and a song that harkens back to GF! So which one is the Best of this bunch and which one deserves a kick to the shins?
OHMSS for the Blondie
NSNA for the Klebbie
Anyway, I don't think instrumentals are "songs", so I'll vote for something with vocals. The Bondie for LTK, the Klebbie - well, ok - for NSNA. Though it is still better than five or six theme songs of the official series.
LTK
Klebbie: NSNA. My childhood crush on Lani Hall notwithstanding. :x
NSNA for the klebbie
😂 I guess my subconscious is trying to tell me something @j_w_pepper ...(ijust can't imagine what...!)
Klebbie: CR 67
+1, although I was tempted by CR '67 for the Bondie.
NSNA for the Klebbie.
Don't think I ever heard this version. It is definitely not on my soundtrack album. I don't remember (though I think I would) if it is actually in the movie.
Klebbie: NSNA
Bondie goes to the Norwegians of a-ha for TLD.
Same here.
The Bondie for best song is On Her Majesty's Secret Service from the film of the same name.
The Klebbie for worst song is Never Say Never Again from the film of the same name.
Good stuff, the voting shows us that Licence to Kill and The Living Daylights were the only other songs to garner a Bondie vote. LTK received 2 votes and TLD received three.
On the Klebbie side of things, LTK received 1 vote and CR 67 received 1 vote.
Time for us to move on, lets dive into the world of the Pre Title Sequences. Lets hit the Connery era and see which one should take home a Bondie. The nominees are:
My dear academy members, which one is getting your Bondie for the best PTS in a Connery movie. Will you choose one that features Bond the most, or one that has other elements? Give me your Klebbie too. Which PTS deserves a kick in the shins, you can abstain from voting for the Klebbie if you wish.
- DAF
Klebbie : YOLT. Bond's death was better done in FRWL.
Klebbie : DAF
