Basically, because it much more accurately sets the tone for a (action-adventure-suspense) James Bond movie.

Also, because it had the title of the film in it, which the producers wanted included.

I thought the Tom Jones song was one of the best for a Bond movie. Plus the ending is great.

I think there's just something wrong with a dude singing a Bond song. I even think FRwL should've been a gal. I like the Thunderball song - yeah just should've been Bassey.

I think it's good to have variety. I like the Thunderball song and the From Russia With Love one, and the Live and Let Die one.
