[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 313473, member: 23"] I imagine it might be intentional. After all, is there any woman better known for having a style that equates to drag*. *[I][SIZE=3]Although the "drag" of the title is also a reference to smoking, with most songs being either cigarette or addiction-themed in some way. [/SIZE][/I] Ooh. Yes! Thank you for that, Willie. I'll be sure to give it a good rub over with Brasso regularly. Unless I unintentionally, controversially forget. It's also got me thinking about which Bond songs are the least "Bond by association". I think for me it's [I]We Have All The Time In The World, [/I]followed by [I]Nobody Does It Better[/I]. I have memories of both being on the radio or in advertisements or whatever when I was young, but not necessarily making the link between them and Bond. And I suppose lyrically they're pretty neutral. At risk of being unintentionally controversial again, I remember on my last watched I remember feeling slightly disappointed that George Lazenby had only done the one film. I suppose Sean Connery is the safest answer. I enjoyed the darker edge he had in his two films and he seems to be one of the more underestimated and less-remembered Bonds which makes me like him even more. Roger Moore is the Bond I grew up with, so I have a bit of a soft spot for him and his mobile eyebrows. think you've hit the nail on the head as well. It could be viewed that every Bond was the best one - or at least the [I]right[/I] one - for their respective era. Same here. [/QUOTE]
