 3) Live and Let Die, Paul McCartney and Wings
Film: Live and Let Die, 1973
Highest UK chart position: 9
Sample lyric: "If this ever-changing world in which we're living makes you give in and cry, say live and let die..."
This is a dynamic masterclass in pulse-quickening rock, courtesy of Beatles producer George Martin.
Subsequently covered by Guns N' Roses, it was the first James Bond theme to be nominated for the best original song Oscar.I was lucky enough to see McCartney in Chicago back in 1990, and will always remember their rendition of this song during that show........complete with VERY loud, VERY explosive sets of 'flashpots' going off on the big "Live And Let Die" crescendos (and sitting close enough to the stage to feel the extreme heat, every time they went off (that also instantaneously ignited in my mind disturbing stories I had heard about "accidents" in past years at other concerts with failed pyrotechnics, oftentimes ending in fiery tragedy!)!!  ) !! "Live And Let Die" (Originally Released June, 1973) Had no idea this was the FIRST Oscar-nominated Bond Theme song!     And just learned THIS, from Wikipedia: Failed parody In 1984, McCartney asked "Weird Al" Yankovic when he was going to parody one of his songs. In 1992, Yankovic asked for permission to put his [Live And Let Die] parody "Chicken Pot Pie" on an album (as a courtesy; legally, he did not need permission). McCartney denied the use because he is a vegetarian and did not want to promote the consumption of meat. Yankovic, a vegetarian himself, said he respected the decision; however, he has performed the song live in the 1990s as part of a food medley.SAVE FERRIS

I liked the Chris Cornell song from Casino Royale. I'm not as well-versed in Bond as some of you are.

When I read the heading, and even when I actually opened the thread, I though this was about songs Barry Bonds likes.
He's a huge Michael Bolton fan so I thought it was going to be a bunch of stuff like that, lol.

Without looking at the other (likely worthless) replies, the best Bond songs are Nancy Sinatra’s You Only Live Twice; John Barry’s theme song for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service; McCartney’s Live and Let Die; Carly Simon’s Nobody Does it Better; Duran Duran’s A View to a Kill; Surrender (which is the END CREDITS song for Tomorrow Never Dies); Cornell’s You Know My Name; Skyfall.
The worst are Lulu’s The Man With the Golden Gun; All Time High; Madonna’s Die Another Day; Another Way to Die.
The rest fall in the middle.
