BD pointed at this BBC test of “How well do you know the Bond themes?” — which, given that I have many, many CDs of same, and listen to them a lot, I thought would be a slam-dunk.
Hrm. Given that the majority of the questions are along the lines of “who did this cover of this theme” and other non-musical things (well, at least not bearing on the actual themes themselves), and a lot focused on the most recent movies’ pop stylings, I’m fairly pleased I managed a 6 out of 10. Still in the top tier (“Golden Gun”), though.

Well, I’ve been listening to those soundtracks since I got Thunderball at the grocery store for 88¢ back in ’72, so I expected to do quite well. And had it been only about the actual movie music, I would have scored better than 7/10.
I’m sorry to say this, Dave, but you missed “Golden Gun” by one. A score of 6 is in the middle tier, “(The World is) Not Enough.”
Ah. Well, poop. But, again, I think the quiz is more fairly labeled “How much do you know about popular culture and music from the Bond movies?”
