The Best Bond Songs

AI-generated image of a generic James Bond. Looks like one of my Indian cousins after he’s starved himself for a month.

Clearly I’m procrastinating. In fact, I’d describe myself as a professionally crastinator, I’m so good at it.

Instead of tackling one of the countless overdue tasks demanding my attention, this morning I’ve chosen to list the five very best theme songs from the James Bond movie franchise.
