    Interesting how it's very similar at the lower end (allowing for the fact that ours didn't include CR67 and NSNA). The most significant difference IMO is that NDIB is a LOT lower in this poll.

    04. The James Bond Theme "You can't be serious !"

    17. Moonraker whereas 02. Goldfinger and 03. Diamonds are Forever is irrational

    I'm surprised CR 67, (which must have been 'The Look of Love) didn't score higher.

    Look of love is a separate song. CR 67 theme is that one with the posh guy singing 'they've got us on the run, with guns, and knives' etc etc. Not suprised it scored low tbh lol. A silly song. Fun though.

    That explains it. I genuinely can't place it, so it must be fairly unmemorable.

    Burt Bacharach wrote the music, which is heard over the main titles played by Herb Alpert. The vocal version is heard at the end, sung by Mike Redway.

    Yup, that's the one! :D I prefer the instrumental version to the vocal one- and "The Look Of Love" to either.

    I can't say that I'm surprised that Theme won. It really is the king of Bond themes/songs. :007) I would have put GF at number 2 (ahead of OHMSS) but OHMSS is a worthy runner-up.
