In truth, James Bond's music has been more memorable than his movies. You couldn't possibly recall the plot to "Live and Let Die," but you know every word of Paul McCartney & Wings' title tune...Not that all the songs have been hits, or even that good. Few pop culture junkies could say who sang "You Only Live Twice" in 1967. It was Nancy Sinatra, just a year after her boots got famous. No one remembers who sang "The Living Daylights" 20 years later. It was A-Ha, though no one remembers that band either.
i have to agree that the opening songs really sets the tone and makes the movie memorable. but some 007 movies are relevant and memorable because of the plot.
