some Bond film titles; yes these are some Bond film titles

Here's a little insight into what I'm shortly to present to the Nobel committee as supporting evidence for my bid for the Nobel Prize For Inconsequential Deranged Film-Related Ravings: a detailed analysis of Bond film titles by number of syllables.


The results are startling, I'm sure you'll agree. The runaway winner, with nine out of the twenty-four titles (including the yet-to-be-released Spectre) is five syllables. The films in question are:
  • From Russia With Love
  • You Only Live Twice
  • The Spy Who Loved Me
  • For Your Eyes Only
  • A View To A Kill
  • The Living Daylights
  • Die Another Day
  • Casino Royale
  • Quantum Of Solace
The beauty of this, as I mentioned around the time of the release of Quantum Of Solace, is that 5-syllable titles lend themselves perfectly to being sung to the tune of Guantanamera. You'll have to slot three extra syllables into the second line, but that's easy enough. Here's some suggestions to get you going:
From Russia With Love
Yes it came From Russia With Love

You Only Live Twice
It's true that You Only Live Twice

The Spy Who Loved Me
Yes she was The Spy Who Loved Me

For Your Eyes Only
It can be For Your Eyes Only

A View To A Kill

We're taking A View To A Kill

The Living Daylights

I'll give you The Living Daylights

Die Another Day

No we can Die Another Day

Casino Royale

We're at the Casino Royale

Quantum Of Solace

I need a Quantum Of Solace
