Next to Goldfinger the most well known and most popular Bond theme is by a male. Paul McCartneys Live and Let Die.
You have never heard this?

Updated OP with previous Bond Songs for those who aren't familiar. Should be available to pre-order on itunes now as it's past midnight in the UK but official release 25th September. Should leak or be available to stream beforehand IIRC they did that with Skyfall last time releasing a lyric video before the actual song release.
It all begins
James Bond back again
Daniel Craig's in a bend
World's most attractive man
For it all begins
I got this job from a Godsend
I know it sounds like a blend
Stolen from Adele, again...

How do you guys not know who Sam Smith is? He has that famous song "Stay with me" that is a ripoff of the Tom Petty song "I won't back down" and now Tom Petty gets royalties for it.

I've never heard of Sam Smith.
OMFG, those lyrics + that reply made me spit my drink out
They should totally have Wordwall in the movie

Does anybody else like the Tomorrow Never Dies theme? I think it's the most surprisingly good theme, but I'm sure I'm alone in this opinion.
It's not bad. Better than All Time High and The Man With The Golden Gun for sure.

Its the best of the Brosnan themes for sure.

Shoulda been Lana
It's okay, but Surrender - KD Lang is way better. That was originally intended to be the main theme (it's still an end credits song), but they changed it at the last minute. The opening titles even sync up perfectly.
I like it, but should've been sung by someone better than Sheryl Crow. Her voice simply isn't powerful enough.

I'm a huge Garbage fan so totally biased, but The World is Not Enough is still one of my favourite Bond tracks.

It's decent, but by-the-numbers stuff. The only thing I don't really like is the final chorus, where Crow sings 'until that day' with the 'til' being forced to a higher note to create some kind of climax, but as Altazor says, her voice lacks the power to pull it off.
Nahhh brehs. GoldenEye has the best song of the Brosnan era easily. Great production and Turner absolutely smashes the vocal.
Also, a shoutout to The Living Daylights. It tends to get overshadowed by Duran Duran's A View to a Kill - but it's a damn good theme in its own right. I love it.

Here's a little taste of Writing's on the Wall posted by Sam Smith this afternoon

Sounding good!

Well, those few seconds certainly sound like a James Bond song.
Already forgot about Die Another Day?
EDIT: Upon relistening the song... why the hell does Madonna randomly insert "Sigmund Freud, analyze this" in the lyrics? It makes no sense at all.

God Die another Day is the worst Bond song ever. Yes, even worse than All time high

Indeed, but the instrumental was never in doubt tbh.

i'm gonna unfoil the cliche
i'm gonna suspend my suspenses
i'm gonna delay my pleasure
i'm gonna close my body now
i think it is sufficiently corny enough to be a james bond song. not to mention the movie it was for lol

The inclusion of Die Another Day in the movie's credit sequence was quite brilliant, I thought. As Bond was being tortured at the hands of the North Koreans, so too was the audience being tormented by Madonna's song. It was a brilliant bit of audience participation /identification.

I got to say, those first few seconds of the song sound James Bond as fuck. I'm hopeful for this one. Helps that I actually like Sam Smith.
The entire score of The Living Daylights is one of the highlights of the series.

I actually like listening to Die Another Day.
Don't get me wrong. It's bad. Really bad. But it's kinda catchy.

The first 30-45min of Die Another Day were great. So promising. Then everything went to shit.
Ugh...
That sounds great but I'm really not looking forward to hearing Smith's whinging tone over it.
I hope he surprises me, but I have very low expectations.

song is gonna be dope when Thomas Newman braids the motif throughout the movie without Sam Smith singing over it
John Barry went out with a bang for sure.
