The full trailer for the new James Bond movie Spectre has been released._ by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Nov 4, 2015 8:39 PM UTC by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Nov 4, 2015 8:39 PM UTC There have been[ 24 theme songs](http://time.com/4050707/james-bond-theme-song-singers-photos/) for the James Bond movies, including Tina Turner’s [“Goldeneye”](https://youtu.be/0WWsRJ2M67Y), Nancy Sinatra’s “[You Only Live Twice](https://youtu.be/lxjcN609cm4),” Shirley Bassey’s “[Diamonds Are Forever](https://youtu.be/4%5FqPkAIOa4g),” Carly Simon’s “Nobody Does It Better,” Adele’s “[Skyfall](https://youtu.be/%5F4gdhsVKTcs)” and Duran Duran’s “[A View To A Kill](https://youtu.be/MmMIgIygzdA).” If you don’t recognize a few of those entries, then it’ll only take a minute (literally) to watch YouTube guitar maestro [Chad Neidt](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOf-9n1zkvc7SXT4KR5Rzag) run through all of them in 60 seconds flat. Neidt is a self-professed Bond, James Bond, fan and he decided to pay his respects to the super spy with his impressively speedy guitar slinging. Neidt set the timer for 60 seconds and cruised through all 24 theme songs, topping it off with a hasty homage to Sam Smith’s _Spectre_ contribution, “[Writing’s On The Wall](http://time.com/4061103/sam-smith-james-bond-theme-video/)” without even breaking a sweat. It’s an impressive feat, even for a civilian. ## Transcript You had no authority, none. [ MUSIC ] Mexico City, [ MUSIC ] what were you doing there? [ NOISE ] I was taking some overdue holiday.
