Ehhh EHHHhheEHHHHH, the living daaay-liiiights!


I seriously don't know what vowel sound those a-ha dudes were trying to sing in that title song. An "e"? An "a"? No Sweeeedish jokes pleeze. That said I still think the Madonna and Sam Smith Bond themes were worse.

The Duran Duran song also was not good, incomprehensibly produced in that 80s manner that sounds like one guy is playing all of the instruments on a gigantic Casio keyboard with one hand, and that dude simultaneously oversinging AND having his vocals buried in the Casio/sound-clips-from-the-movie/blaring-synth-horns murk. Man, 1985 was a BAD year for pop music!

Two of the best Bond soundtracks. Way more character than the bland, unmelodic, forgettable muck we've had since Goldenye.

Skyfall's soundtrack was fantastic, where have you been?

I love '80s music and I love the two Bond themes you're complaining about, so no agreement here.
