Goldfinger or You Only Live Twice would be my guess…unless the last dozen or so produced any big hits that I’m unfamiliar with. Very possible.
btw, hello from out of town, everybody! Hope you’re all enjoying the holidays so far.

Offline Goldfinger (the song) is a masterpiece. And Goldfinger (the movie) is the best Bond movie ever (in my opinion)
“Forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit” (“Perhaps one day it will be a pleasure to look back on even this”; Virgil, The Aeneid, Book 1, line 203, where Aeneas says this to his men after the shipwreck that put them on the shores of Africa)

What was top @Necko?
Yes, as @parlance said, it is “Goldfinger.”
As a Bond fan and a Beatles fan, I must say that I’m pretty happy with Live And Let Die getting to number two. It’s a good song. 
I'm Necko. I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.
I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Offline Guys,I think I got the perfect Christmas present. Y’see, I kind of met another Beatlemaniac IRL.
Alright, perhaps meet’s not exactly the right word. Let’s say…I located a real Beatlemaniac in real life.
This afternoon I was calmly leafing through my copy of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes when, boom, Let It Be appeared out of nowhere. I blinked and then rushed off to the balcony, hoping to get a glimpse of the person who was playing this beautiful song.
Lo and behold, just as Let It Be shifted to Hey Jude , I looked down from the balcony and saw a black-haired guy on his motorcycle shuffling through his iPhone for more songs. He looked around twenty.
I grinned in glee. Twenty! Only six years older than me! Clearly, my future husband was here! I no longer had to worry about relocating to the United States and escaping from my parents in case I fell in love with another girl or something. As the final notes of Hey Jude played, I waited to see what he would play next.
‘Ob La Di, Ob La Da, life goes on,braaaaa!’
.
I groaned. (I mean, I like that song, but after Hey Jude …) Then I had an idea. I went to my bedroom, grabbed my tablet and opened to the Beatle recordings I had in there. (No money for iTunes, unfortunately.)
I went back to the balcony. Get Back was playing, which was better, but still, I knew that if I were to get the attention of this…mysterious biker guy (actually he looked like a normal guy selling Coke but that’s not the point) I had to play another Beatles song. RIIIIGHT?
I scanned my list and chose Help !. I put the sound end of the tablet as near as I could to the balcony and turned it up to full volume.
The guy scanned his library and started to play Yellow Submarine .
I groaned and switched to All You Need Is Love . That was sure to get his attention, right?
Then he played Yesterday .
I sighed. ‘You leave me no choice,’ I said as I went to Sgt Pepper ‘s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
No result. The guy clicked on A Hard Day’s Night and started to tap his foot to it.
‘HOLY HAMMER OF THE GODS!’ I cried (don’t swear on a band when you’re playing their songs, it’s bad luck, trust me.) ‘WHY ARE YOU NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO ME?!’
Then the guy started to talk to his friend beside him. I grinned. I couldn’t hear him but obviously he was saying something along the lines of ‘Are you playing Beatles too? No? Then what the heck was that? I swear some Chinese chit is up on that building playing those songs.’
So, I took a deep breath, put my hand over the sound system (that usually makes things even louder) and clicked on the reprise.
‘WWWWEEEE’RE Sgt Pepper ‘S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND! WE’RE SORRY BUT IT’S TIME TO GO!’
At this point they both sat up straight and looked around and I ran away in manic glee back into the bedroom.
My mum had no idea what was wrong with me.

Offline Woah @Clara's Broken A Glass Today , that’s quite a present!You should’ve hidden somewhere and let the game continue, but I can imagine you must’ve been absolutely giddy by the time reprise came on. Quite the lyric to make anyone jump to his/her feet, least of all a Beatlemaniac playing the Beatles songs.

Offline I don’t see the appeal over the song ‘Goldfinger’, the film itself is excellent. Maybe Homer ruined the song for me.

Offline What an awesome gift, that Beatles box!
I like that Shirley Bassey song she did in the 90s with that one group of which the name is escaping me. It’s a bit dancey and with brass.

Offline I played M.A.S.H and I always do a mix-gender and crappy answers in my topics so this is my story
Once upon a time you met Pattie Boyd and got married (Haha @mr-kite)
You moved to Dublin and lived in a Mansion
You eventually had 231 kids with Pattie Boyd
You drove around in a Black Toyota
You worked as a Singer until the age of 65 when you retire.
I sure need a mansion for my 231 children! :O
