Goldfinger is the title song and theme of the 1964 James Bond film of the same name, performed by Shirley Bassey and composed by John Barry, with lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley. Its huge brass arrangement and Bassey's commanding delivery made it one of the most recognisable Bond themes ever recorded. The song has since become shorthand in edits, memes and parodies for wealth, glamour and villainous confidence, which is why the short clip still works instantly even for viewers who have never seen the film.
