James Bond Themes 5. "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney and Wings
007系列电影主题曲第五名:保罗·麦卡特尼和Wings乐队--《生死关头》
Big and brassy! Paul McCartney (yes, yes, and also Wings) ushered in a new era of James Bond movies with the theme to Live and Let Die, sending the series careening into a 1970s musical sound as the franchise rebranded itself with a new leading man, Roger Moore. This is an almost maniacally excited song. The melody shifts and spirals and builds and sinks and hardly gives the listener a chance to get their bearings. It's a thrill.
保罗麦·卡特尼(是的,还有Wings乐队)凭着邦德电影《生死关头》的主题曲闯出了一片新天地。007系列电影做出了一些更换,灵魂人物邦德改由罗杰·摩尔出演,因此影片选取了20世纪70年代的音乐声作为主题曲。这是一首令人异常兴奋的歌,旋律变化无常、旋转跳跃、跌宕起伏,听众根本没有机会抓住歌曲要表达的东西,令人震撼。
James Bond Themes 4. "Thunderball" by Tom Jones
007系列电影主题曲第四名:汤姆·琼斯--《霹雳弹》
The lyrics are stupid, but who cares? Tom Jones sings like nobody's business, and pounds the theme to Thunderball out with a silky energy. It's powerful but alluring. This is the sort of song you imagine Bond would play on a jukebox when he's about to seduce you. There are better James Bond theme songs, but none from a male singer. Tom Jones and James Bond probably go out for dry martinis together all the time. They're the perfect pair.
歌词有点蠢,但是谁在乎呢?汤姆·琼斯自顾自的演唱,将《雷霆杀机》的主题曲以一种柔中带刚的方式演绎出来,充满力量而又蛊惑人心。你会觉得邦德在诱惑你的时候会在点唱机上点这样的歌。还有其他更好听的007电影主题曲,但是只有这首是由男歌手演唱。也许汤姆·琼斯经常会和詹姆斯·邦德一同出去喝干马丁尼。他们是最佳拍档。
James Bond Themes 3. "Skyfall" by Adele
007系列电影主题曲第三名:阿黛尔--《天降杀机》
It's almost TOO good. Soulful and aching and grand, Adele's theme to Skyfall is stunningly performed, and gives the distinct impression that someone tried to make the ultimate James Bond theme and had the talent to back it up. History and sensuousness have elevated two songs higher than Adele's contribution, at least in our eyes, but not by much.
这首歌简直太好听了。感情丰沛、大气磅礴,阿黛尔为《大破天幕杀机》演唱的主题曲令人拍案叫绝。这首歌让人们对詹姆斯·邦德留下了独特的印象,人们以后还能借由这首主题曲重拾对詹姆斯·邦德的记忆。尽管历史和原有的情感使其他两首歌的排名高于这首歌,但是至少在我们看来,阿黛尔的《天降杀机》和前两名相差无几。
James Bond Themes 2. "GoldenEye" by Tina Turner
007系列电影主题曲第二名:蒂娜·特纳--《黄金眼》
Bono and The Edge collaborated with Tina Turner on this, the sultriest James Bond song ever. This is a song sung by someone you will be attracted to, damn it, and for whom you would do just about anything. Tina Turner has more erotic confidence in one Golden eye theme than most of us will ever experience in our whole lifetimes. James Bond songs had never been this deliciously sweaty before. It's like pheromones set to music.
U2乐队主唱波诺、主吉他手"刀刃"和蒂娜·特纳联手合作,共同完成了这首最狂野的007电影主题曲。你会被这首歌的演唱者吸引,并且愿意为她做任何事情。在电影《黄金眼》的主题曲中,蒂娜·特纳在《黄金眼》里面所展现的性感是我们一生都无法企及的。007系列电影主题曲从未如此甜蜜性感,好似歌曲里注入了性激素。
James Bond Themes 1. "Goldfinger" by Shirley Bassey
007系列电影主题曲第一名:雪莉·巴赛--《金手指》
It was the first "real" James Bond song (again, the first two films only opened with orchestral music), and it's still the best. Shirley Bassey got an opportunity to sing her soul out and she accepted the challenge with obvious pleasure. This is a song that makes the villain Auric Goldfinger seem a lot more threatening (and attractive) than he actually is, but that's part of the miracle of Bassey's work here. It's proud and heroic and enticing and it's kind of a lie, but who cares? The music is pure James Bond, the lyrics are pure machismo, and the performance is perfect.
这是第一首真正意义上的007系列电影主题曲(再说一次,詹姆斯·邦德前两部电影开场只使用了管弦乐),至今仍然是最好的一首。雪莉·巴赛得到了唱出自己心声的机会,她很乐意接下这个挑战。这首歌增添了《金手指》中反派人物奥里克的危险性(还有吸引力),但这仅仅只是雪莉·巴赛歌曲魔力的一部分。詹姆斯·邦德傲慢自大、英雄主义、诱惑人心、虚幻迷离,但谁在乎啊?这首歌就是为詹姆斯·邦德所作,歌词充满男子气概,歌手的演唱简直完美。
