Top 10 James Bond Theme Songs十大詹姆斯·邦德主題曲

#10 License To Kill

In tenth place we have the Empress of Soul, Gladys Knight, singing the titles for Licence to Kill. Long time Bond composer John Barry, who had worked on the series since Dr. No, fell ill, and couldn't work on the music. But the theme song, composed by Jeffrey Cohen, Walter Afanasieff and Narada Walden, was based on the horn melody from Goldfinger, for which Barry received a royalty.

Licence to Kill was significantly less poppy than the prior two Bond films, and fitted the more serious, grittier theme of the film. Gladys' vocals are softer than usual, and the lyrics go well with the music. The song hit number 6 in the UK charts, but wasn't as successful in America. It's a good song, and a great match for the film.

#9 From Russia With Love

The theme song for From Russia With Love was almost two themes in one. The full theme, composed by Lionel Bart and sung by English musician Matt Monro, was played over the end credits. It coupled soft and laid back music, with Monro's bold vocals. It could be considered the most classical of all Bond themes, and is certainly distinct in the series.

The second aspect of the theme was the opening titles of the film. Fully instrumental, they opened with an intense, fast paced and sharp brass and drum arrangement, that was aptly titled "James Bond is Back". After this brief celebration, came John Barry's lively, upbeat version of the Monro tune, which eventually blends into Monty Norman's James Bond Theme. The opening music was fantastic, and it was refreshing to have two different versions to open and close the film.

#8 You Only Live Twice

The You Only Live Twice theme was sung by Nancy Sinatra and composed by John Barry, with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, who had also penned the lyrics for Goldfigner. The music is of particular note, a solid composition with an authentic Japanese twist. So authentic in fact that it has been used in numerous low budget Japanese films, albeit probably unlicensed.

The lyrics are better than many of the Bond themes, and Sinatra's voice beautifully blends in with the melody. You Only Live Twice is one of the most critically acclaimed Bond themes, and has been covered by many artists, including Shirley Bassey.

#7 Nobody Does It Better

Picture the opening scene of The Spy Who Loved Me. Bond gets chased by a swarm of assassins when skiing in Austria. He shoots one of them with his gadget ski-pole, does impressive gymnastics to avoid bullets and knock-out one of the henchmen, but still has men on his tail. In a tense escape, he skis off the edge of a mountain, saved by a hidden Union Jack parachute. And then plays the theme song Nobody Does it Better. Perfection!

Nobody Does it Better was the first Bond song to diverge from the film's title. Sung by Carly Simon, it was a truly beautiful song, and a commercial success, charting at #2 in the UK and #7 in the US. The song has been used in numerous other films, and is a favourite among fans.

#6 Live and Let Die

The theme for Live and Let Die was sung by ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, and scored by George Martin, who had most recently worked with McCartney on the Beatles album Abbey Road. The lyrics and music were written by Paul and is wife Linda, but she didn't take part in the recording. Live and Let Die was the first Bond film not to feature John Barry, who had fallen out with producer Harry Saltzman.

The absence of Barry gave the producers an opportunity to drastically change the style of the music, choosing a rock song for the first time in the series. Live and Let Die was a big commercial success, and charted on both sides of the ocean. The music was very impactful, and was integrated very well into many scenes throughout the film.

#5 Diamonds Are Forever

Diamonds Are Forever was Shirley Bassey's second of three Bond collaborations. George Lazenby had done a single film and left, and the Producers had tempted Sean Connery to come back for one last time. They were hoping to replicate the success of Goldfinger; they brought back director Guy Hamilton, and they wanted another Shirley Bassey hit.

Bassey's new ballad fit perfectly within the film, and the pre-title sequence flowed effortlessly into the song's sparkly introduction. It didn't chart well, and producer Harry Saltzman hated it, falling out with John Barry over the suggestive lyrics. But it was a fantastic score from Barry, and a hit with fans.

#4 You Know My Name

Daniel Craig's first film, Casino Royale, was a reboot of the series, with the aim of raising the quality and critical success of the films. After a string of mostly mediocre theme songs in the Pierce Brosnan era, Chris Cornell brought the respectable You Know My Name to the table.

It was the first Bond song not to feature on the film's soundtrack, because the Producers thought it had enough merit to be released separately as a single. It was however included in the 50th anniversary Bond album. Strong vocals, and a solid song.

#3 James Bond Theme

Everybody knows the "James Bond Theme". It has appeared in every single James Bond film, and was the main theme song for the first film Dr. No. There have long been disputes about it's authorship, but it is generally agreed that John Barry wrote it based on Monty Norman's original composition.

What we do know for sure is that it's the definitive Bond tune, having appeared in countless films, games and advertisements, often announcing that an intense action scene will follow. Interestingly, there are many variations of the tune, often styled to the music of the film in which they appear. But no matter the variant, no one can miss that distinctive twang of the guitar.

#2 Thunderball

Tom Jones is without doubt the strongest male singer of the series, with his intense, bold rendition of Thunderball. Prior to his version, Shirley Bassey, Dionne Warwick and Johny Cash had all recorded versions, but Jones' stood out as the best.

Jones actually fainted after singing the last note of the song, after holding it as long as he could. He sang Thunderball live at Sean Connery's AFI life achievement ceremony. The lyrics are pretty good, the orchestra supports Tom Jone's strong voice, and composition is one of Barry's best.

#1 Goldfinger

Oh, but it just couldn't be anything else. Shirley Bassey's masterpiece from Goldfingermatched and extended the grandeur of the film. After one of finest pre-title sequences of the series, John Barry's piercing brass section introduced the titles, in which future scenes from the film were cheekily projected onto half-naked women.

John Barry really shined with this composition, and it remains one of the most popular themes of the series, well respected by fans and critics alike. The film even won an Oscar for Sound Editing, for integrating parts of the theme perfectly into the action. The soundtrack charted at #1, and stayed on the Billboard 200 for over a year.

＃10殺人執照

在第十名，我們有靈魂 ​​的皇后，Gladys騎士，唱歌的標題執照殺害。很長一段時間債券作曲家約翰·巴里，因為在系列誰曾博士 沒有，病倒了，不能上的音樂工作。但主題曲，由杰弗裡·科恩，華特亞凡瑟夫和世貿君瀾瓦爾登湖組成，是基於從喇叭旋律金手指，為此，巴里獲得了專利權。

殺人執照比前兩個邦德電影罌粟顯著較少，並配備了薄膜的更嚴重，含沙的主題。乃迭的歌聲比平時更柔軟，而且歌詞順利與音樂。這首歌擊中6號在英國排行榜，但沒有在美國那樣成功。這是一個很好的歌曲，和一個偉大的比賽為電影。

＃9來自俄羅斯的愛

的主題曲來自俄羅斯的愛情幾乎是兩個主題於一體。完整的主題，由萊昂內爾·巴特和組成由英國音樂家馬特·夢露唱，被演奏過的片尾。它加上柔軟，悠閒的音樂，與夢露的大膽的人聲。它可以被認為是最經典的所有債券的主題，並且是該系列肯定截然不同。

為主題的第二個方面是影片的開頭標題。充分器樂，他們與激烈，快節奏和銳利的黃銅和鼓的安排，這被人們形象地稱為“詹姆斯·邦德又回來了”打開。這個簡短的慶祝活動之後，來到約翰·巴里的活潑，歡快的調門羅，最終融合成蒙蒂諾曼的詹姆斯·邦德主題的版本。開場音樂是太棒了，這是令人耳目一新有兩個不同的版本來打開和關閉的電影。

＃8你只能活兩次

該你只能活兩次的主題是唱南希西納特拉和約翰·巴里組成，歌詞由Leslie Bricusse，誰也寫下了歌詞Goldfigner。音樂是特別值得注意的，與正宗的日本扭曲了堅實的成分。所以正宗的，事實上，它已被用於許多低預算的日本電影，雖然可能無牌。

歌詞比很多的債券題材好，Sinatra的聲音美妙融合在一起的旋律。你只能活兩次是最受好評邦德主題之一，並已涵蓋許多藝術家，包括雪莉·貝西。

＃7 沒有人做的更好

圖片的開幕式現場的海底城。債券得到由刺客的群在奧地利滑雪時追捕。他瞪了他們與他的小工具，滑雪桿之一，確實令人印象深刻的體操，避免子彈和基因敲除的心腹之一，但仍然有男人在他的尾巴。在緊張的逃跑，他滑雪板掀起了山的邊緣，救了一個隱藏的英國國旗降落傘。然後播放的主題曲沒有人做的 ​​更好。完美！

沒有人做的 ​​更好是第一部邦德歌曲來自電影的標題出現分歧。由卡莉西蒙唱，這是一個真正美麗的歌，和商業上的成功，在英國的＃2和＃7，在美國的圖表。這首歌已被用於許多其他影片，並且是在球迷的最愛。

＃6居住並且讓模子

在主題為居住並且讓模子是由前披頭士樂隊成員保羅·麥卡特尼演唱，並取得由喬治·馬丁，誰最近與麥卡特尼在披頭士樂隊的專輯Abbey Road的工作。歌詞和音樂人寫的保羅和妻子是琳達，但她並沒有參與錄製。居住並且讓模子是第一部邦德電影不是為特色約翰·巴里，誰掉下來與製作人哈里·薩爾茲曼。

沒有巴里給了生產商的機會，徹底改變了音樂風格，選擇一首搖滾歌曲首次在系列。居住並且讓模子是一個很大的商業成功，並繪製在大洋兩岸。音樂是非常有影響力的，並已整合得很好到許多場景在影片中。

＃5鑽石是永恆

金剛石永遠是三個邦德合作雪莉貝西第二。喬治·拉贊貝做了一個單膜和離開，以及生產者已經動心肖恩·康納利回來的最後一面。他們希望複製的成功 金手指 ; 他們帶回了導演蓋伊漢密爾頓，他們希望另一雪莉貝西命中。

貝西的新民謠完美貼合膜中，並預片頭毫不費力地流入到這首歌的閃閃發光的介紹。它沒有繪製好，和製片人哈里·薩爾茲曼討厭它，與約翰·巴里鬧翻過暗示的歌詞。但它是一個夢幻般的得分來自巴里，並與球迷打。

＃4你知道我的名字

丹尼爾·克雷格的第一部電影，皇家賭場，是該系列的重啟，以提高質量和薄膜的關鍵成功的目的。大多是平庸的主題曲在皮爾斯·布魯斯南時代的字符串後，克里斯·康奈爾帶來了可觀的你知道我的名字的表。

這是第一部邦德首歌不是對電影的配樂功能，因為生產者認為它有足夠的功德單獨作為單曲發行。然而，它被列入50週年邦德專輯。紮實的​​唱功，和堅實的歌曲。

＃3詹姆斯邦德主題

每個人都知道的“詹姆斯·邦德主題”。它已經出現在每一個詹姆士·邦德影片，並且是主要的主題曲的第一部電影博士 沒有，早就有關於它的作者身份的爭議，但普遍認為，約翰·巴里寫的基於蒙蒂諾曼的原始成分。

我們所知道的肯定是它的明確的債券調整，並在出現在無數的電影，遊戲和廣告，往往宣布一個刺激的動作場面將隨之而來。有趣的是，有調的許多變化，往往風格，以它們出現的電影音樂。但無論變異，沒有人能錯過吉他那獨特的鼻音。

＃2雷霆萬鈞

湯姆·瓊斯是毫無疑問的最強男歌手的系列，與他激烈，大膽演繹雷霆萬鈞。在此之前他的版本，雪莉貝西，迪翁沃里克和強尼現金已全部錄製版本，但瓊斯的站出來為最佳。

瓊斯居然暈倒唱最後一個音符的歌曲後，持有它，只要他能之後。他唱了雷霆萬鈞的現場在肖恩·康納利的AFI終身成就儀式。歌詞都還不錯，樂團支持湯姆卓尼縣的強烈呼聲，和組成是巴里的最好的之一。

＃1金手指

呵呵，但它只是不可能是別的。雪莉·貝西的傑作從 金手指匹配和擴展電影的偉大。該系列中最優秀的預片頭一前一後，約翰·巴里的銅管穿孔節所介紹的頭銜，其中來自未來的電影場景是厚臉皮地投射到半裸的女人。

約翰·巴里真的放光了這個成分，它仍然是系列中最流行的主題之一，被球迷和評論家的一致好評和推崇。該片甚至贏得了奧斯卡音效剪輯，整合為主​​題的部分完美地融入了行動。電影配樂繪製在＃1，住在廣告牌200超過一年。
