11. 1999 movie "The World Is Not Enough" (black and white crisis)
song: Garbage-"The World Is Not Enough"
If you want to explain the relevance of the theme song of the 90s Bond movie in one word, it is the movie It seems that the company wants Björk to interpret every song. Even so, Shirley Manson, the female lead singer of Garbage, is still the perfect choice to replace the Icelandic singer, which can be heard from her voice that matches the melody. The British lyricist Don Black, who co-wrote the song by
, turned the whole song into the theme song of the movie "Thunderball"; "The World Is Not Enough" was also the last drama with a little bit of Bond film before it entered the millennium. The effect of the works. However, the part of the main song is a bit boring, but when it comes to the chorus, with Shirley Manson's flexible singing, it becomes the best work of reverberation.
10. 1979 movie "Moonraker" (Space City)
song: Shirley Bassey-"Moonraker"
Shirley Bassey's appearance in this ranking refers to two things-first, her experience of singing the Bond theme song many times gave her nothing It has undoubtedly become the classic sound of this movie; again, even if "Moonraker" is considered to be her poor ranking in this menu, it is still far ahead of many lower-ranked songs.
In the beginning, the singer of "Moonraker" was Johnny Mathis, but a few weeks before the movie was released, he quit because he was dissatisfied with his work; Shirley Bassey once again proved to the world her undefeated musical strength and how Make the most appropriate musical interpretation of this strange film title "Moonraker". What do you say about
? Suppose you apply the lyrics "Where are you? When will we meet? Take my unfinished life and make it complete" to the feeling of life and death. It doesn't seem to be an easy task, right!
9.1969 movie "On Her Majesty’s Secret Service" (Queen's Secret Service)
song: John Barry Orchestra-"On Her Majesty’s Secret Service"
And this is a completely different work! The 1969 movie "On Her Majesty’s Secret Service" was the first 007 series of films in which actor Sean Connery quit halfway through; it was also a movie in which the orchestra was used as the theme song again after "From Russia With Love". In the arrangement, the copper music-like performance made by the Muger electronic sound effect synthesizer was considered a very innovative composition method at the time; John Barry’s composition skills also allowed James Bond to leap from being a mere intelligence agent. Become a household name.
However, the film company's willingness to let John Barry make a style similar to the Victorian playwrights Gilbert and Sullivan still can't help but feel incredible!
8. The 1981 movie "For Your Eyes Only" (Top Secret)
Song: Sheena Easton-"For Your Eyes Only" (Top Secret)
continues after the movie "Moonraker" with some cartoon plot content, 1981 " "For Your Eyes Only" finally returns to the existing image of Tiehan as the protagonist in the Bond movie. The composer Bill Conti was asked to include some different music from the signature Bond in the original soundtrack of the 80s movie.So there is the lyrical version of British singer Sheena Easton with a little bass that we hear now.
"For Your Eyes Only" is the first and only Bond film series where a singer is included in the opening scene! The singer who had sang "Sugar Walls" before, combined with a powerful piano chord arrangement, presents a different Bond theme.
7.1965 movie "Thunderball" (Thunderbolt God)
song: Tom Jones-"Thunderball"
Tom Jones! Who can resist his gentle groaning voice? Although it sounds a bit exaggerated nowadays, in this Tom Jones and John Barry song, the ending of each sentence is rhymed just right, and it successfully matches the word Thunderball. The sound of the horn in the song of
can be heard as an extension of the music of the first three Bond films; but the baritone singer from Wales, England, has a slightly Shirley Bassey characteristic song interpretation, which makes the work show different Style! At the end of the song, his breath-holding last sing was like Bond's thrilling escape from the water-the perfect ending for "Thunderball".
6. 1977 movie "The Spy Who Loved Me" (海底城)
song: Carly Simon-"Nobody Does it Better"
"Nobody Does it Better" should be regarded as drunk Carly Simon, courting the other half The song, the atmosphere of the entire song, is like the plot of the movies "Lost in Translation" and "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason", or a kind of bachelor party scene. The lyrics "There’s some kind of magic inside you／That keeps me from runnin’／But just keep it comin.", should be worthy of many heavy metal rock bands as a mirror for writing songs! Among all the songs that describe Bond’s attraction to the opposite sex, Carly Simon’s "Nobody Does it Better" should be the most satisfying work.
5.1971 movie "Diamonds Are Forever" (Diamonds)
song: Shirley Bassey-"Diamonds Are Forever" at the beginning of the
song Shirley Bassey used the layered effect of singing to make "Diamonds Are Forever" the Bond movie In the songs of the past dynasties, works rarely mention the eroticism of men and women.
On the contrary, Shirley Bassey is complaining about his lover's erratic personality, as can be seen from the lyrics "Men are mere mortals who aren’t worth going to your grave for".
Ironically, the producer Harry Saltzman thinks this song has an offensive sexism; perhaps because Shirley Bassey in this song aptly expresses that men are far inferior to what diamonds bring to women. Happy (Annotation: Friends who like Kanye West should not be difficult to find that this song was sampled by him in the song "Diamond From Sierra Leone".)
4. 2012 movie "Skyfall" (Big Breaking the Sky)
song : Adele－《Skyfall》
Adele's "Skyfallfall>, should now be regarded as the most popular Bond movie theme song (if you look at the click-through rate of this song on Youtube). When Sony executives decided to find Adele for interpretation, it was destined that
Like other songs in the Bond film series of Craig era, the lyrics of "Skyfall" did not express too much abstract emotion; but the lyrics "Skyfall is where we start..." revealed the most important thing in the movie. The plot of the.
In fact, the irrelevant content of the song’s lyrics has become the best weapon; Adele’s voice can be freely and flexibly played in the arrangement of management, giving people a Bond movie-like coldness. Tune.
3.1967 movie "You Only Live Twice" (Thunder Valley)
Song: Nancy Sinatra-"You Only Live Twice"
, the theme song of the 1967 Bond movie, the beginning of the melody that spirals upwards may be an arrangement The most classic music clip by John Barry! Even though it was taken from a concerto segment made by Alexander Tcherepnin, the approach John Barry decided to adopt was still quite wise. The song
was originally intended to be interpreted by Frank Sinatra, but it was eventually transferred to his daughter Nancy Sinatra. Since the plot initially set Bond as avoiding the police and deliberately pretended to be dead, and then resurrected again, the song itself will have a little Japanese element. John Barry uses the sound of the bamboo xylophone to create a brisk and exotic melody, which complements the singing of Nancy Sinatra.
As for the end of the fifth season of the TV series "Mad Man", this song was also used to prove the classic status of "You Only Live Twice".
2.1973 movie "Live and Let Die" (life and death)
song: Paul McCartney and Wings-"Live and Let Die"
"Live and Let Die" should be regarded as the best single ever recorded by Paul McCartney and Wings Up! And the song is good, as good as Beatles' works! With the assistance of his wife Linda McCartney and the killer orchestral arrangement of his old partner George Martin, "Live and Let Die" can't help but reminiscent of Beatles' works during the Abbey Road period. The rhythm arrangement on the
guitar is also a masterpiece in the theme songs of previous Bond movies, making the best opening for the plot of the movie.
Who else will be the first? Of course it is Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger"!
1.1964 movie "Goldfinger" (Goldfinger)
song: Shirley Bassey-"Goldfinger"
"Goldfinger" when the song opened, it was too late to wait for Shirley Bassey to do the interpretation, immediately showing a real momentum, the first song Bringing out that cool tone in the Bond series of movies is particularly impressive.
When Shirley Bassey begins to sing, it feels like it leads you into a mystery; and although everyone has long been used to John Barry in the previous Bond theme songs, often creating a lot of dangerous and uneasy atmosphere; but This song still makes people can't help but look directly at the dark side of the work again. Of course the most noteworthy thing about
is Shirley Bassey's high-pitched ending at the end of the song! Such interpretation requires a great lung capacityIt must be very difficult for this singer. Perhaps Shirley Bassey had not thought that doing so would have a profound impact on pop music culture when he was soaring the treble at the beginning; but that song that is too long to be long will last forever in the hearts of the world.
