- 128. Although James Bond title songs don't deal with the stories of the movies, they seem to relate to the movies by using some motifs that can be found in every Bond movieExampleExample for a James Bond "love song": Moonraker"love" - 5 times"I", "You" - 4 times"dream/s" - 4 times"Moonraker" - 2 times"kiss" - 1 time
- 129. ExampleExample for a James Bond "characterization song": You Know My NameThe whole song is an almost brilliant reflection on Bonds ego and his (excessive) self-confidence.
