With Christopher Lee sporting a third nipple and Britt Ekland starring as a Roger Moore love interest called ‘Goodnight’, this is, even by 1970’s Bond movie standards, one of the campiest films in 007 history. Bad but, unbelievably, not as bad as the film itself.

By 2002, however, she was desperately playing catch up with the kids and this theme’s auto-tuned slickness and staccato techo-glitch backbeat all feel horribly like the vicar making an unwanted appearance on the school disco dancefloor. Madonna would have been a fantastic choice to sing a Bond theme in the early 80s when she was a young whippersnapper. The worst Bond film of the modern era (and very probably the worst one of all time) has a theme that matches the absolutely ludicrous invisible car sequence for try-hard-but-the-horse-has-bolted hipster points. Which makes its stink even more eye-watering. This dreadful plaid-shirt attired throwback is, literally, the only bad thing about Casino Royale. For this was 2007 and we were about to witness the most vital and necessary Bond reboot of them all, as Daniel Craig took over from Pierce Brosnan and saved the whole franchise from mutating into Austin Powers shtick. If this was your assumption then you would have guessed the identity of the artist correctly (the late Cornell was the lead singer of the band) but you’d also be a decade and a half out of date. Listen to this clunky, sludgy dirge by numbers without any 007 context and you’d be forgiven for thinking that this is a Soundgarden B-side from 1994. Here is the definitive worst to best rundown of every 007 theme there has ever been… 25. But, frankly, all of them have been wrong. Many have tried to rank Bond themes in order of awesomeness before now. Of course, we’re talking James Bond themes: the Spotify playlist that all of us have, at some point, put on while planting window boxes, washing oven trays or filing tax returns in a desperate attempt to delude ourselves into believing we’re doing something more exciting than the mundane activity at hand. And A-Ha had the worst haircuts while performing one.

Byron Lee made the oldest one Billie Eilish is the youngest to sing one.
