Why Is The Man With The Golden Gun Title Song Hated So?

DR NO-ah

I have never heard that version before but I enjoy it much more than the original. Still one of the worst theme songs in my opinion though...

Not a great theme song, but I like Lulu's voice.

Is it a dumb and maybe ridiculous song? Yes of course. Is it catchier than most of the 80s and 90s songs? YES! And Lulu's vocals are fantastic.

Paloma Faith would do a good version of it. It needs that funny, vampish cabaret appeal.

Agreed.

I'm not a fan of it; there's no real tune, it's just Lulu's screeching that stays in your head. It's full of awful innuendo ('Who will he bang?') and is just lazily written. Individual parts of it are catchy but in an annoying way. The lack of sophistication and glamour means that it is lower down on my list.
