Coffee Break: Movie and TV theme songs
by Anna Reed
October 05, 2017
Today in 2012, Adele posted her new theme to "Skyfall", the 23rd film in the James Bond series. The theme song, written by Adele and her songwriting partner Paul Epworth, featured a 77-piece backing orchestra.
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that were used as movie or TV theme songs?
Though Adele wrote "Skyfall" for the movie, we're looking for songs that were songs first - then were used as the theme to a movie or TV show. So no specially-written songs like the "Gilligan's Island" or "Saved By The Bell" theme songs.
