A lengthy intro complete with an epic song is as much a part of the Bond formula as girls, cars, and martinis. Bond songs range from serious to campy, but they are always intensely dramatic - and catchy.

The newest Bond film, "Spectre," will premiere on November 6th. But the film already has a hit Bond song, Sam Smith's recently released "Writings on the Wall." Smith joins artists like Louis Armstrong, Madonna, Paul McCartney, and Adele in the annals of Bond history.
