Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - "He's tall and he's dark and like a shark he looks for trouble. That's why the zero's double..." :)

Ditto. I wish they had gone with "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" instead of "Thunderball" as the theme song. One of Barry's best compositions.

I'm guessing that this time next month, we may well be agreeing that 'You Know My Name' describes Bond best! If it IS that kind of song!

It depends on the Bond - "Thunderball" is ALL Connery, where "Nobody Does It Better" is totally Roger Moore.

Thunderball, although I don't know if Bond has quite yet figured out how to strike like it. Maybe with the reboot...

Do any of them have lyrics that make sense?

I'd take "You Only Live Twice" for the music.

I'll agree with that. :)

Isn't that more fitting for largo though?

"Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, you're the best."

Nuff said

Yes, I also thought "Thunderball" was about the villain...

I vote for "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang." "Nobody Does It Better" strikes me as a bit--I don't know--syrupy, I guess.

copy/paste:
He always runs while others walk.
He acts while other men just talk.
He looks at this world, and wants it all,
So he strikes, like Thunderball.
He knows the meaning of success.
His needs are more, so he gives less.
They call him the winner who takes all.
And he strikes, like Thunderball.

Any woman he wants, he'll get.
He will break any heart without regret.
His days of asking are all gone.
His fight goes on and on and on.
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all.
So he strikes like Thunderball.


^^^That is definitivly Bond (and not Largo) if you ask me.

I would say Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. "Nobody Does It Better" feels more like EON's song.
