With this in mind, let's take a look at our five favorite James Bond theme songs:

5. Adele - Skyfall

 

Adele wowed us all with her take on a Bond song. A contemporary classic, Skyfall possessed everything you could ever want in a Bond theme tune. The versatility of Adele's voice means she can croon with ease through the verse before exploding into that unforgettable chorus. Pure class.

4. Shirley Bassey - Diamonds are Forever

Nothing screams old-school-cool quite like the way Shirley Bassey meanders through this track. An all-time vocal performance that is as much about its restraint as it is its power, Bassey is formidable. 'Unlike men, the diamonds linger'. 

3. Louis Armstrong - We Have All The Time In The World

Perhaps an outlier in terms of the typical style of Bond theme songs, Louis Armstrong must have known he had an instant classic once he finished this track. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is surely close to the top of any Bond-fanatic's list, meaning this song will always be in the conversation of the greatest Bond theme song ever.

Nobody Does It Better is a transcendent track that will be sung in karaoke bars worldwide, always and forever. Who would have thought that Carly Simon singing on a rooftop could be so iconic?

1. Paul McCartney and Wings - Live and Let Die

You knew it was coming. To say that getting Paul McCartney on a theme track was the coup of the century may be an understatement. Everything Paul McCartney touches turns to musical gold, so it's no surprise that Live and Let Die would go on to be one of the greatest theme songs we have seen across all of cinema.
