Never particularly had much interest in the James Bond series, though I do admittedly like hearing the new Bond themes each time they come out. Goldfinger I'd say ranks... somewhere in the middle of them, and coincidentally that's where it ends up on this list too. It's quite fitting for a mid-point too, because Goldfinger does everything decently, despite not excelling at any one quality. The kiss of death idea is just vague enough to make Goldfinger seem very threatening without exactly making it clear what's meant by it. Does he use and discard women, favoring only wealth over love, or is he willing to kill to get his way? The mystery of the character works well for a song introducing a Bond villain, but that mystery also keeps it down in the rankings just a bit. While I hesitate to call this exactly a mid-point on the list, I do think this is roundabout where you should start to see a change, where excelling in one category and not the other two isn't enough anymore, and where songs that don't excel in any one category can't stick around much anymore.
