Any else want a free Dr. Pepper? Well, then tell Axl to get working on Chinese Democracy, would you?
Released in 1973 for the soundtrack to the James Bond movie, Live and Let Die, this Wings wingle was the first rock song to be used as a theme to a Bond movie. The song reunited Paul McCartney with his former Beatles producer George Martin, and also marked the first Bond film that John Barry was not a part of when it came to music.
The single was quite successful itself, reaching number 2 in the US and staying there for three weeks, while it reached number 9 on the UK Singles chart. The song became a highlight of Wings and McCartney's live shows, and he continues to play it to this day, including during Paul's appearance at Super Bowl XXXIX.
Guns N' Roses included their cover of the song on their 1991 album, Use Your Illusion I, notable for being release simultaneously with the album Use Your Illusion II. The song was one of a number of singles off the 'double album' release, only reaching number 33 on US charts, but hitting number 3 in the UK.
