As often happens, the Readership surprises me a little bit; you guys do know you voted for Paul McCartney when he was with Wings, right? Live And Let Die is not a Beatles song.
But the results are the results. My own favorite is A View To A Kill, by the way. (The song, not the movie. Either Goldfinger or Casino Royale is my favorite of the movies.) Usually (as you might expect) I find a woman’s voice sexy and appealing; and Carly Simon’s Nobody Does It Better is quite sexy. But A View To A Kill is both exciting and musically challenging; Simon LeBon’s voice is interesting and the women seem to think it’s sexy, and that’s all good with me. I really did not think much of the Jack White/Alicia Keyes song from the recent movie, but that’s just my preference; it seems to have found some popularity with you all.
Doh, I missed the poll. I would have voted for “Nobody does it better”.
