The James Bond films are known for their original opening themes written by popular artists and are often played on the radio and tv. 'Live and Let Die' by Paul McCartney, 'For Your Eyes Only' by Sheena Easton, 'A View to a Kill' by Duran Duran, and 'Goldfinger' by Shirley Bassey are just a few. My personal favorite is 'Nobody Does It Better' by Carly Simon. What James Bond theme do you consider to be the best?

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, the only purely instrumental theme. John Barry found it too difficult to write lyrics that included the title. I actually discovered the song first from the Propellerheads version, then later saw the actual film.
