* "History Repeating".
* Believe it or not, a cover of "Get The Party Started" (even included on Dancing On Ice) Bassey's singing style, the singing equivalent of Chewing the Scenery, has been much imitated:
* Geri Halliwell's "Look At Me" definitely has a hint of Bassey to it.
* At points - the Title Song for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the song takes on the Bassey-style, appropriate considering the other Spy tropes it plays with.
* Richard Cheese did a lounge cover of "Rock the Casbah". Changing the pitch of it turns the cover into a dead-on Bassey pastiche.
* The opening theme for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is a parody of Bassey's Bond themes.
* Roza Rymbaeva used this in her debut song "Alia."
