Trivia

Shirley Bassey also recorded the title songs for two more Bond films – Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and Moonraker (1979) – making her the record holder in this regard. The song's lyrics include the line "He's the man, the man with the Midas touch", which loosely translates to Goldfinger being a man with a golden touch. Midas is a king from Greek mythology who had the ability to turn everything he touched into gold.

Lyrics: Goldfinger

Goldfinger
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death…

From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death…

From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
