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.
1. James Bond Theme - John Barry
2. OHMSS - John Barry
3. Diamonds Are Forever - Shirley Bassey
4. Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon
5. Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey
6. We Have All The Time In The World - Louis Armstrong
7. Thunderball - Tom Jones
8. A View To A Kill - Duran Duran
9. Live And Let Die - Paul McCartney & Wings
10. Moonraker - Shirley Bassey
11. All Time High - Rita Coolidge
12. You Only Live Twice - Nancy Sinatra
13. The Living Daylights - a-ha
14. From Russia With Love - Matt Munro
15. The Man With The Golden Gun - Lulu
16. Licence To Kill - Gladys Knight
17. You Know My Name - Chris Cornell
18. For Your Eyes Only - Sheena Easton
19. Goldeneye - Tina Turner
20. The World Is Not Enough - Garbage
21. Tomorrow Never Dies - Sheryl Crow
22. Die Another Day - Madonna
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.

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.
