James Bond Theme Tunes: Definitive Guide

There has been some talk in the Twitterverse of the best/worst Bond theme tunes.

In order to settle the argument, I feel I should re-print the research I undertook back in January. And I don't think anybody read it first time around, so I'm hoping I'll get away with it.


As you can see, the quality of the the Bond theme tune is inversely proportional to the quality of the actual film.

I have displayed this theory in a graph and so it is now a FACT.

In order to compile these results, I listened to every Bond theme and watched all the films. I then ignored all the ones that didn't apply. I think my research methods will stand up to scrutiny.

Take that, Ben Goldacre.

Sunday Morning, Early Dawning

It's early Sunday morning and I can't sleep. The suburbs are quiet and still. I've never seen the full moon shine with such intensity before. It makes a mockery of man's phosphorous glow, the watery lamplight pooling on the frozen street corners.

I'm sat here listening to "Nobody Does It Better" by Carly Simon, working on a formula that proves that the quality of the Bond theme is inversely proportional to the quality of the actual movie. 

More coffee. Then writing.
