Taking my own challenge:
(Yes, I do have all these setup as a playlist)


The original and iconic theme. Worn out and a bit thin? Sure, but still
something that just oozes Bond.
Perhaps the overriding reason I can't (besides the obvious) that I can't
consider _Never say Never_ and official Bond film. You never hear those
notes.


Matt Montro comes off sounding as Rat Packy as possible without being a
club member. And for some reason I can't even come close to explaining the
darn thing reminds me of something Tim Rice might write. Also starts the
tradition of ending the theme song with one long ass vocal note.


Ah, the distinctive voice of Shirley Bassey.  Not just the only performer
to do more than one theme, but asked to belt out three of them. But for me
personally it's the least likable of the three she did.


One of my favorites. I love Tom's vocal style. Over the top? Probably. But
it works for me.


I'm not a huge fan of Nancy's singing but it works well enough here. I
really like the strings and the

I'm with ya buddy. I'm a sports/competition junkie. When we head to
the sports bar for lunch I think the waitresses cringe because I
become like a producer in the truck with the TV's "I want the deuce on
that one, Golf channel on the large screen, Ranger replay over there,
and put that one on Sportscenter". Then again, I tip well so I'm
guessing they call it a wash.

Nick Danger — 2012-09-25T19:41:56

In regards to the EARTH SHATTERING news from the NFL today:

1) They took a good look at the replays, talked to the officials on
the field, and concluded that with the given evidence the correct call
was made.

E) The NFL knows the pooch was screwed but figured they could smoke
screen the thing so as to not compromise their position in the labor
negotiations with the real refs.

%) Football in particular, and sports in general are stupid and I
couldn't care less. Good riddance and I hope this causes the collapse
of the entire sports universe so there's more TV time for stuff I
like.
