The James Bond Themes - Part III: Goldfinger.

   Goldfinger repersented new things as it would be the first song to be included in the opening (rather than an instrumental or at the end), it would be the last to have the Gunbarrel by the stuntman Bob Simmons and it was arguably the best Connery, if not Bond film.The song was performed by Shirley Bassey for the first of three songs she would do for the Bond franchise. The lyrics are electrifying and yet still mesmerizing after all these years. It goes extremely well with the title sequence making a strange word like "Goldfinger" work well.

Now Thunderball on the other hand would be slightly more difficult...

Overall, I give it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
