Rita Coolidge Lyrics
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 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 win
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 you 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 win
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
So hold on tight, let the flight begin
We're an all time high

I've come to a conclusion : if/when asked what my favourite 007 movie - with the late Sir Roger Moore - it's got to be the one here.
As for the theme song........2019 and beyond!.

@Jonathan Furzeland Octopussy has been referred to as Hitchcockian with the doubles (Vertigo): twin henchman, two eggs, a 00 agent as a clown and Bond as one to close the film. It is a circus, right? Octopussy says "we're two of a kind." Bond agrees. The 00 as a clown doesn't bother anyone. It is also the John Glen Bond movie that doesn't feel made for TV. It is cinematic in look!
Jonathan Furzeland
Love this song! Rita Coolidge is the perfect choice for this style. And yes Octopussy is my favourite Bond film.
BRIAN Thomas
You don’t see how Octopussy is a favorite but Moonraker should be? All the things Octopussy is criticized for are the reasons why Moonraker is beloved. Though Octopussy has Bond as a clown (this is a circus and another 00 agent was also a clown when killed), and the Tarzan yell which was like the slide whistle in The Man With The Golden Gun, Moonraker has the double taking pigeon, dog giving a dirty look, gondola that turns into a car, the pigtailed small girl who falls in love with Jaws (so many thought she had braces which would work better as a mutual attraction, but no), Jaws flapping his arms while free falling.... ad placements up the wazoo, cynical cash in of 2001, Close Encounters... all cringe worthy to me. Lois Chiles was wooden to me. But so many love it and dismiss all that. Octopussy has great stunts, great visuals, Louis Jordan, Steve Berkoff all give great performances.

2021 too

i would have to say the same movie because my dad used to work with one of the actors in it

Underrated Bond's theme. This is a magnificent song.
A Journal of Impossible Things
By far my fav theme tune
