I hated Bon Jovi. I was a Springsteen girl and in Jersey you were one or the other.
These days I think Jon Bon Jovi is a cutie-pie -- but the music still makes me roll my eyes (after an initial nostalgia sigh).

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I don't even recall the Octopussy song.
"All-Time High," by Rita Coolidge.

If I only had a brain...
What about "The House at Pooh Corner" by, I think, Cat Stevens? Or does Christopher Robin not count?

The Spy Who Loved Me by Carly Simon is another good Bond song.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
There is no Christopher song that we know of, anyhow
House At Pooh Corner?
Christopher Robin and I walked along
under branches lit up by the moon.
(heh. x-posty with Betsy, yay!)

My sister! We all got drunk the day he got married. The first time. And yes, we were still in high school. If I'm remembering right, it was the day of the prom, so we would have been doing that anyway.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"All-Time High," by Rita Coolidge.
Um:
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you.
Huh.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
What about "The House at Pooh Corner" by, I think, Cat Stevens? Or does Christopher Robin not count?Christopher Robin always counts. I had a Pooh bear when I was little. Also an Eyeore and a Piglet, all handmade. But I slept with Pooh bear until the night my step-mom's dogs tore him apart.
Come to think of it, might explain the lifelong insomnia.

Sadly, Christopher Robin related songs don't count, because in Christopher's eyes, they belong to Christopher Robin (and I totally would have named him Christopher Robin, but his father wouldn't let me).
Of all three of my kids though, Chris, probably because he's the baby, has much less of that "Someone got something I didn't" nudgy-envy that you non-only children seem burned with.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The best is obviously "Live and Let Die", with "Goldfinger"a close second.
Whoa. That's pretty close to heresy, and I love LaLD.
I've never heard Octopussy so I can't comment on worst. Some of them just haven't stuck. I know I don't care for the Duran Duran or the Madonna ones, but they are nowhere near being the worst IMO.
Plus, some of the ones I do like were relegated to secondary songs (The Pretenders and Garbage for example). I also like "Thunderball" a lot for the sheer bombast.
