Saw and enjoyed the new Bond movie recently - in honor of it, I have a display of my collection of Bond novels and other books on display at my library.
Bonus Bond trivia question: Which Bond movies had theme songs that had titles that were different from the movie's title?

***SPOILER ALERT***
Don't read any further if you don't want to know the answer!
Dr. No
Spy who loved me
Octopussy
Is that right? Did I win? What's my prize? This is fun!
Got all but one...
We all know it's not Moonraker (best Bond song ever). I think the other film is "In Her Majesty's Secret Service." Marc and I should get sushi for being so damn cool....
No sushi for you! The theme to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (note "on" not "in" - negative points there...) was "Theme from OHMSS." Come on, guys...
"All Time High" from FOR YOUR EYES ONLY?????
Nope, "All Time High" by Rita Coolidge was the theme from Octopussy. For Your Eyes Only's theme song was "For YOur Eyes Only." Still one more. To recap -
Dr. No - Bond Theme/Kingston Calypso
Spy Who Loved Me - Nobody Does It Better
Octopussy - All Time High
What about "Never Say Never Again"?
Nope, also titled "Never Say Never Again", although it's by a different production company and not really considered part of the Bond "canon."
GRRR! I already wrote this once, WTF happened here?!!? It's Casino Royale (2006), isn't it? Not sure what I was thinking last week, if I overlooked it or assumed that didn't count since it was the topic of the posting. And, I think blogspot ought to email me when further comments are made - I didn't even know this conversation was happening until Turi emailed me!
Yup, that's it - Couldn't believe noone was getting that; but I guess you thought you had. I get emails when there are updates, maybe there's some setting in your profile you can change...
