* 重複
簡介+心得: 這首歌若開頭第 15 秒沒有加入 "金手指" 主題曲的經典和弦，就會跟 Duran Duran "A View to Kill" 拿掉 John Barry 趁亂混進去的銅管叭叭叭三聲一樣，沒有龐德味。但就算曲調脫去龐德風，就算歌詞不要強調可合法殺人，"License to Kill" 也還是會是一首琅琅上口的好歌。但如果拿此歌和六年後小皮出道作的主題曲 "Goldeneye" 比較，嗯，我覺得黃金眼略勝一籌。
See reflections on the water
(見那水面的倒影)
More than darkness in the depths
(勝過深淵的黑暗)
See him surface and never a shadow
(他浮出水面 卻沒有影子)
On the wind I feel his breath

(黃金眼 我發現他的弱點了)
Golden eye, he'll do what I please
(黃金眼 會滿足我所有的要求)
Golden eye, no time for sweetness
(黃金眼 沒有容納溫柔的空間)
But a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees
(但一個苦澀的吻會讓他臣服倒地)
You'll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
(你永遠不會知道我是如何從暗處看你從孩童成長)
You'll never know how it feels to be the one who's left behind
(你永遠不會知道被拋下的滋味)
You'll never know the days and nights, the tears, the tears I've cried
(你永遠不會知道我過去的日日夜夜 和 所曾流下的眼淚)
But now my time has come and time, time is not on your side
(但現在我的時刻已到來 而時間 時間並不眷顧你)
See him move through smoke and mirrors
(看他穿越煙與鏡)
Feel his presence in the crowd
(在人群中感覺他的存在)
Other girls they gather around him
(被女孩們包圍)
If I had him I wouldn't let him out

Golden eye, not lace or leather
(黃金眼 不是蕾絲或皮革)
Golden chain take him to the spot

It's a gold and honey trap I've got for you tonight
(今晚我為你準備了陷阱 以黃金和蜂蜜)
Revenge is a kiss this time I won't miss
(復仇是這回我不會錯過的吻)
Now I've got you in my sight
(現在你已落入我的視線內)
With a golden eye
(擁有黃金眼)
Golden, golden eye
(黃金 黃金眼)
With a golden eye, golden eye
(擁有黃金眼 黃金眼)
簡介+心得: 皮爾斯布洛斯南首次接任 007 的電影主題曲 "Goldeneye" (反正，龐德電影片名不是跟殺人有關，就是要有黃金鑽石) 是由搖滾天后 Tina Turner 獻聲。本來看到作曲家是 U2 的 Bono，我還以為會是像最新龐德主題曲 "You Know My Name" 一樣用電吉他開場，結果還是以弦樂為枝芽，銅管作綠葉，人聲開紅花。此歌歌詞我翻得一頭霧水，但等發現 "黃金眼" 根本不是壞蛋名，而是個衛星武器系統，就不由得嘆服作詞者強掰的功力。我私自覺得同樣帶有搖滾味道，Tina Turner 的 "Goldeneye" 要比 Gladys Knight 的 "License to Kill" 要耐聽。
"黃金眼" 除了是小皮第一次以龐德身分亮相，也是曾經一部電影出場十一分鐘就抱走奧斯卡最佳女配角的 Judi Dench 擔任 M 的第一次。我想製作人當初也沒料到女性的 M 會這麼對觀眾胃口吧? 受歡迎到小皮都卸任了，她還是作她的 M。

*重複
簡介+心得: 這是僅次於 Shirley Bassey 和 Tina Turner，我最喜愛的由女性演唱的龐德主題曲，後頭緊追著的是垃圾樂團的 "The World is not Enough"。Sheryl Crow 的唱腔不同於 Shirley Bassey 的靈魂樂唱法，也沒有 Tina Turner 的搖滾力量。她開始唱的時候，聽來有種近乎病態的傭懶，但這份無力感，正好迎合了歌詞的起頭 "親愛的/我被殺死了"。試想有哪個女人倒在血泊中還會唱得精神抖擻，中氣十足的?

電影名: Octopussy (1983年)
歌曲名: All Time High/Rita Coolidge 演唱
歌詞:
All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two
Had no intention to do the things we've done
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one
We're in all time high
We'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high
We'll take on the world and wait
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
I don't want to waste a waking moment; I don't want to sleep
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you
In my time I've said these words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for your they're true
We're an all time high
We'll change all that's gone before
Doing so much more than falling in love
On an all time high
We'll take on the world and wait
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
We're an all time high
簡介+心得: 雖然我很高興作曲家 John Barry 和 Tim Rice 沒有試著把電影名 "八爪女" 硬塞進歌詞裡 (如果他們真能做到，還能聽起來不像是海鮮食品的主題歌，我會拜服得五股投地)，這首歌聽起來就只是首 80年代口水情歌。沒有什麼不好的，但也沒什麼特別好的。

電影名: A View to a Kill (1985年)
歌曲名: A View to a Kill/Duran Duran 演唱
歌詞: 不知道為什麼，我找不到正確的歌詞，所以不附上 :(
簡介+心得: 據說，這部電影被批得很慘的主題曲之所以會找 Duran Duran 來合作，是因為 Duran Duran 的貝斯手在某個 party 上半帶著醉意跟 007 系列製作人說: "喂，你什麼時候才會找個像樣的人來作龐德電影的主題曲啊?" 放了大話，當然就得證明本事，而 Duran Duran 確實沒有辜負他們的名聲。這首歌有鮮豔的 Duran Duran 色彩，雖然 John Barry 在編曲上參了一腳，但我想他的貢獻大概就是加上那三連音的銅管和弦，確保這還有龐德的正字標記吧?

電影名: The Living Daylights (1987年)
歌曲名: The Living Daylights/A-ha 演唱
歌詞:
Hey driver, where are we going?

I swear, my nerves are showing
(我發誓 我有些神經緊繃了)
Set my hopes up way too high
(把期望放得太高)
The living's in the way we die
(活的價值在於死的方式)
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
(白晝到來 街燈暗滅)
Hundred thousand people, I'm the one they blame
(世上有千萬個人 他們偏偏只怪我)
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
(我已等待許久 盼我們之中有一個人會說)
Save the darkness, let it never fade away
(挽留黑暗 永不讓它散去)
Ooohh, the living daylights
(哦~~~~活著的白晝)
Ooohh, the living daylights (the living daylights)
(哦~~~~活著的白晝)
Alright, hold on tight now,
(好 抓緊了)
It's down, down to the wire
(現在是分秒必爭的時刻)
Get your hopes up way too high
(把期望放得太高)
The living's in the way we die
(活的價值在於死的方式)
*以下repeat
簡介+心得: 這是 Timothy Dalton 的 007 處女作。我個人認為他的帥勁比不上 007 始祖的史恩康納萊和繼承小康靈魂的 Roger Moore。"The Living Daylights" 中譯片名似乎是 "黎明殺機"，就一個除了英文之外根本沒有意義的片名來說，算是譯得不錯了。(歌詞就別管了...活著的白晝? 當然狗屁不通!) 有了 Duran Duran "A View to a Kill" 的成功案例，電影製作人挑上當時正紅的流行團體 A-ha 來寫歌。這首歌有兩個版本，一個是 A-ha 自己寫的原味曲，一個是 John Barry 撒上龐德香料的(笑)。我想我找到的應該是 John Barry 加持過的。我喜歡這首歌的編曲，也認為 A-ha 相當盡職。真要說有什麼不愛的，就是覺得歌詞意味含混不清，而 A-ha 也唱得有些口齒不清(從網上歌詞版本眾多便可知)。若非如此，便是我沒領會 80年代填詞的精髓。
哪天若有機會，我或許會想去聽原聲帶。這可是 John Barry 第一次為整部電影操刀，且片中插曲還請來我認為寫歌功力不錯的 The Pretenders。
電影名: The Spy who Loved Me (1977 年)
歌曲名: Nobody does it better/Carly Simon 演唱
歌詞: (附譯)
Nobody does it better
(沒人比你更行)
Makes me feel sad for the rest
(讓我不禁要為其他人感到難過)
Nobody does it half as good as you
(沒人甚至能做得有你一半好)
Baby, you're the best
(寶貝 你是最棒的)
I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me
(我無意追尋 但你不知怎的找到了我)
I tried to hide from your love light
(我試圖逃避你愛的光芒)
But like Heaven above me
(但如同頭頂的蒼蒼穹空)
The spy who loved me
(愛我的間諜)
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight
(今晚會守護我所有的秘密)
And nobody does it better
(且沒人比你行)
Though sometimes I wish someone could
(雖然有時我希望有人能)
Nobody does it quite the way you do
(沒人能做得像你這般)
Why'd you have to be so good?
(你為何要如此在行?)
The way that you hold me
(你抱著我的方式)
Whenever you hold me
(每當你擁著我)
There's some kind of magic inside you
(你有一種魔力)
That keeps me from running
(使我無法逃跑)
But just keep it coming
(繼續愛我吧)
How'd you learn to do the things you do?
(你是怎麼能像現在這般在行的?)
And nobody does it better
(沒人比你更行)
Makes me feel sad for the rest
(讓我不禁要為其他人感到難過)
Nobody does it half as good as you
(沒人甚至能做得有你一半好)
Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best...
(寶貝 寶貝 親愛的 你是最棒的) x 6
簡介+心得: 此片中文片名譯作 "海底城"。雖然中譯名會讓我聯想到小叮噹的長篇大冒險，可是如果從英文片名直譯為 "愛我的間諜"，那聽起來可十足像個 B 級片，讓人勾不起胃口。此片的歌也是第一首打破歌名與電影同名規則的龐德主題曲。第一次聽時，我只覺得跟 "Live and Let Die" 犯了同樣的毛病: 走錯電影。但如果想像這是龐德女郎向龐德唱的情歌，嗯，雖稍嫌溫柔了點(龐德女郎應該是冷豔型的性感美女啊)，靠 "愛我的間諜/今晚會守護我所有的祕密" 這句，再考慮到電影劇情，就合情合理許多。
Where are you? Why do you hide?
(你身在何方? 你為何躲藏?)
Where is that moonlight trail that leads to your side?
(那通向你身畔的月光小徑在何處?)
Just like the Moonraker goes in search of his dream of gold,
(有如摘月者尋找他黃金的夢想)
I search for love, for someone to have and hold.
(我尋求愛 尋求一個人讓我擁有)
I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams,
(我在一千個夢境裡見到你的微笑)
Felt your touch and it always seems
(感覺到你的觸碰 每次都讓我覺得)
You love me,
(你是愛我的)
You love me.
(你是愛我的)
Where are you? When will we meet?
(你身在何方? 我們何時會相見?)
Take my unfinished life and make it complete.
(使我破散的人生圓滿吧)
Just like the Moonraker knows his dream will come true someday,
(如同摘月者知道他的夢想有一天會成真)
I know that you are only a kiss away.
(我知道你和我之間 僅隔著一個親吻的距離)
I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams,
(我在一千個夢境裡見到你的微笑)
Felt your touch and it always seems
(感覺到你的觸碰 每次都讓我覺得)
You love me,
(你是愛我的)
You love me.
(你是愛我的)
簡介+心得: Roger Moore 四度化身帥死人不償命的 007 (他可是有殺人執照的)! 其他的英雄能上天下海，穿雲入地，他也能。既然在上一集潛入海底打鯊魚，這回當然要飛上太空打月亮! 而 Bassey 小姐也三度為龐德獻...聲! 這回她不再警告女孩們要小心金手指，也不再歌頌鑽石的忠誠，而放柔了嗓音，化身滿懷旖旎浪漫的少女，對著夜空高掛的月亮吟唱。John Barry 在 "金槍人" 一曲跌了個大跤，這回可站了個穩實，踢開從第一代龐德電影就緊擁的大聲公銅管，擁抱弦樂，配以短促清亮的三角鐵，織出摘月人憨傻但可愛的夢想。總結一句: 就是好聽。

電影名: For Your Eyes Only
歌曲名: For Your Eyes Only/Sheena Easton
歌詞: (...)
For your eyes only, can see me through the night.
For your eyes only I never need to hide.
You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new.
I never felt until I looked at you.
For your eyes only, only for you.
You'll see what no-one else can see, and now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only, only for you.
The love I know you need in me, the fantasy you've freed in me.
Only for you, only for you.
For your eyes only, the nights are never cold.
You really know me, that's all I need to know.
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine.
But you won't need to read between the lines.
For your eyes only, only for you.
You see what no-one else can see, and now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only, only for you.
The passions that collide in me, the wild abandoned side of me.
Only for you, for your eyes only.
簡介+心得: 我不管 Roger Moore 在這部我還沒看過的電影裡有多帥，或者歌詞意境和我不知道的劇情有多貼合 - 這首歌如果現在才發行，且沒有套上龐德主題曲的光環，我要是聽見電台打這首歌，一定會立刻轉台。是說，這首歌有這麼難聽嗎? 不，相反地，一首歌如果難聽到不可思議的境界，我還會乖乖把它聽過一遍，好了解它為什麼這麼可怕 (就跟在好萊塢電影台看超無厘頭恐怖片也是種樂趣一樣)。但這首歌，不難聽也不好聽，沒有可取之處。

(鑽石是永遠的 永遠的 永遠的)
Forever and ever.
(永遠 永遠)
簡介+心得: 這部電影是小康正式發行的最後一部 007 電影，歌曲是我心目中永遠第一名的 James Bond 演唱曲! Shirley Bassey 小姐把 "Goldfinger" 唱活之後，這回又將血腥鑽石的魔力發揮得淋漓盡致。這首歌該有的靈魂元素一滴也不少: 好編曲 + 好歌詞 + 好歌手。尤其是歌詞 - 不看 "Goldfinger" 就不知道誰是金手指，但不看 "Diamonds are Forever" 也知道女人愛鑽石，不然廣告為什麼要打 "鑽石恆永遠 一顆永流傳"? >o<
讓我很意外的一點是，我在wiki上找資料時看到，編曲者 John Barry 當初在錄音時跟 Shirley Bassey 說 "想像你是在唱關於男人的命根子!"
這首歌被 Kanye West 重新混音過，名為 "Diamonds from Sierra Leone"，收錄在 2005 年 "Late Registration" 這張專輯中。只不過他唱的主題比較像是在講電影"血鑽石 (Blood Diamond)"。他在 MV 開頭就寫著:
"鮮少有人知道，獅子山 (Sierra Leone)和鑽石之間的關聯"

電影名: Live and Let Die (1973 年)
歌曲名: Live and Let Die/Paul McCarthy & Wings 演唱
歌詞: (完全沒有翻的動力...)
When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say life and let life
(you know you did, you know you did you know you did)
But in this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
What does it matter to ya
When you got a job to do
You gotta do it well
You gotta give the other fellow hell
When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say life and let life
(you know you did, you know you did you know you did)
But in this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
簡介+心得: Roger Moore 的第一部 007 電影。雖然主題曲 "Live and Let Die" 讓 Bond 系列第一次獲奧斯卡最佳歌曲提名，演唱者又是批頭四成員，只能說風格實在跟我想像得差太多。明明配帥氣動作片，為什麼詞曲嘻皮味這麼重? 槍與玫瑰的版本還稍微好一點。歌好是好，但走錯電影了，出局!

簡介+心得: 這是一部好演員 (Roger Moore 第二回扮龐德) + 好編曲家 (一如走來幾乎始終如一的 John Barry) + 名歌手 (Lulu 當時是大紅大紫的歌手) 也拯救不了的電影/歌曲。連 John Barry 自己都承認他寫曲時沒靈感，討厭死了這首歌 XDD 總覺得這首歌試圖重現 "Goldfinger" 的排場 (這次反派主角也跟黃金沾上邊，只是鍍金的不是他的手指...)，但是模仿不到家，也缺乏原創。看看歌詞，好像是想要描繪一個讓人又愛又恨的壞蛋，卻流於庸俗，氣勢軟弱。可惜，可惜。

電影名: Thunderball (1965年)
歌曲名: Thunderball/Tom Jones 演唱
歌詞: (以及無責任翻譯)
He always runs while others walk
(別人用走的 他總用跑的)
He acts while other men just talk.
(別人只是說話 他卻是在演戲)
He looks at this world, and wants it all,
(他看著這世界而渴望擁有全部)
So he strikes, like thunderball.
(所以他出擊 有如雷球)

His fight goes on and on and on.
(他的戰鬥永無止盡)
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all.
(但他覺得戰鬥值得)
So he strikes like thunderball
(所以他出擊 有如雷球)
簡介+心得: 我沒看過這部電影，而且我實在不知道 thunderball 到底是要譯為"雷球" 還是 "霹靂彈" 比較好XD...不知道為什麼，雖然這部電影同樣有銅管+弦樂+小調+大嗓門歌手 (Tom Jones)的配給，我就是覺得還差了那麼一點。也許和前一年的金手指比起來，雷球好像弱了一點...(噗) 而我雖愛 Tom Jones，可他這首歌唱起來，怎麼說呢，好像少了一點狠勁? 不過跟兩年後的 "You Only Live Twice" 比起來，這首又不知道好多少了。

(為這因你而來的夢想付出吧)

而歌呢? 不是說 Frank Sinatra 的女兒不好，只是這歌龐德調味料加得有點不夠，而且 Nancy Sinatra 的聲音太溫柔了 >_

電影名: On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969年)
歌曲名: On Her Majesty's Secret Service/John Barry 作曲
歌詞: 無
電影預告:
簡介+心得: 這部 "女王密使" 不是永遠越陳越香的小康演的，而是 George Lazenby 唯一的一部 007 作品。我沒看過電影，所以瞄了一下預告 - 看起來是比 "You Only Live Twice" 要好很多。不過根據wiki，這部電影的評價很兩極化。電影的第二首主題曲是 Louis Armstrong 唱的，爵士小品風的 "We Have All the Time in the World":

電影名: From Russia with Love (1963年)
主題曲: From Russia with Love/Matt Monro 演唱
歌詞: (附無責任翻譯)
From Russia with love I fly to you,
(我從俄羅斯 挾帶愛 向你飛來)
much wiser since my goodbye to you.
(我已較上次與你揮別時 變得更為睿智)
I've travelled the world to learn,
(我行遍世界 方才醒覺)
I must return from Russia with love.
(我必須帶著愛 向你歸來)
I've seen places, faces and smiled for a moment,
(我遊遍各地 見過無數張臉 也曾短暫微笑過)
but oh, you haunted me so.
(但噢 你如此佔據我心)
Still my tongue tied young pride,
(可我年輕的驕傲)
would not let my love for you show
(不讓我坦白對你的愛)
In case you'd say no.
(唯恐你會拒絕)
To Russia I flew but there and then,
(我飛至俄羅斯 但當下那瞬間)
I suddenly knew you'd care again.
(我突然知道你會再度在乎)
My running around is through,
(我逃跑的日子到此為止)
I fly to you from Russia with love.
(我從俄羅斯 挾帶愛 飛向你)
簡介+感想: 還沒聽到歌之前，我還想 "Matt Monro 是誰啊...他唱歌的時候我還沒出生哩"，但不聽則已，一聽便入迷! 這首歌呢，人聲取代了銅管，也不再帶 swing band 味道，而是以悠悠弦樂作為伴奏。光聽電影名&同名歌名 (這也大概就此開啟從此以後 Bond 主題曲名或歌詞一定要提到電影名的慣例)，就覺得這應該是比較柔和的一首歌。但如果只是單純的情歌，沒有配上 Matt Monro 低沉磁性的嗓音，怎能給人有 "從俄羅斯來的愛" 的神秘味道呢?
