Favourite single track from all the soundtracks?

I've been thinking about this for a while. Virtually every Bond film has a standout track (excluding titles) in differing styles over 50 years.
Personally I can't make up my mind between "Time to Get Out" in QoS, and "This Never Happened to the Other Feller" from OHMSS, so I'm gonna sit on the fence.
What's your favourite, if you could only pick one?

"How was your lamb?" "Skewered. One sympathises."

" I don't listen to hip hop!"
Yes the 007 theme. A great bit of music from John Barry

According to my iTunes player, my favourites are Bond 77 (TSWLM) and Tennyson and Komodo Dragon (SF).
According to my brain, my favourite is possibly 'Oddjob's Pressing Engagement' from GF.
Bond 77 - I've always loved that too, definitely my favourite track of all the Sir Rog films.
Fast Pace: Come In 007, Your Time Is Up. from TWINE.
Romantic: Venice Boat Trip from CR-06.
Character: Dinner Jackets also CR-06.
Classic Bond: Instrumental only Goldfinger. A great match to the original Bond theme.
Ditto!
The imagery and dialogue in this scene have become so iconic that the music is often over-looked, but I think this is Barry at his best. The music starts off quite playful with a little danger thrown in but as the scene progresses the tension really starts to rack up and gradually, with Connery, becomes more and more desperate.
It's a masterclass in tension building and as I said, it's a bit of music that is over-looked because of how iconic the scene has become.
Well said. It's Barry at his finest, and the model for such similar pieces as "Space March (Capsule In Space)" and "Gumbold's Safe". The music is superb, and as you say it's overlooked because of the iconic dialogue.
I've been searching for it everywhere!

Already answered in another thread in the music forum.
"Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is my favorite of Barry's Bond compositions, and it's put to terrific use in Thunderball. My favorite is the calypso style used when Bond dances with Fiona. The pleasant tune meanders for a while, then completely shifts into a current of building tension and a crescendo of bongos, before returning to Caribbean calm after Fiona is shot. It's great on the soundtrack album and brilliant in the film.
I love that piece too! David Arnold certainly knows how to write brilliant action music...
Me too. I like that track better than GF's themesong.

Interesting choice! I have always enjoyed the brassy sound of that tune, and I like to play it loud in my car with the windows down. (I'm not sure my neighbors appreciate it, though!
