Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"Diamonds Are Forever"
Opening Lines: Diamonds are forever, They are all I need to please me, They can stimulate and tease me, They won't leave in the night, I've no fear that they might
Comments: The rest of the opening line is: "... desert me." Again, Shirley Bassey is the only artists to record more than one of the James Bond themes. Shirley Bassey would also record the themes for "Goldfinger" and "Moonraker".
Submitted by: Peter
| "Goldfinger"
Opening Lines: Goldfinger, he's the man, the man with the Midas touch.
Comments: "Goldfinger" was the theme song from the James Bond movie of the same name (1965). Shirley Bassey took the tune to #8 in the charts. Shirley Bassey is the only singer to sing a James Bond theme more than once. Shirley Bassey also sang the title song for "Goldfinger" and "Moonraker".
