No question on my favorite.  Love the last high note.

By the way, Tom Jones can kick James Bond's ass.

Without a doubt, my favorite:

But maybe only because I really love this movie.  :) Shirley Bassey's vocals are a bit brassy, but then again - so are those horns!

Close runner-up:

I couldn't remember them all so I spent 12 minutes watching and listening to this:

My favourite song of all these is "Live and Let Die" by Sir Paul McCartney, followed closely by Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" from The Spy Who Loved Me. Honourable mention to "The Living Daylights" by a-Ha and "The World Is Not Enough" by Garbage. And, although I just heard it for the first time while watching this video, I kind of like "Another Way to Die" by Jack White & Alicia Keys.

But all of those are just great songs to me. I don't really associate them with the James Bond films very much. Of the Bond themes that I do associate with the films, my favourite is Dr. No. I have the soundtrack album on vinyl. I got it for Christmas when I was a kid.

How could I forget 'Dr. No'? It contains the theme they used throughout the 60s Bond films.

I may have to reconsider my list... :)

I have to go with the most recognizable signature Bond Theme and these guys aren't too shabby.
