The James Bond Themes - Part IV: Thunderball.

   Thunderball's theme has a history of people who tried to make a song for the film. The song for the film was originally going to be a song named Mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Wrote by John Barry) with two different singers doing their versions, Shirley Bassey and Dionne Warwick. However the studio wanted the title to be in the film, so Barry made a rendition with Tom Jones being the singer. However even Johnny Cash submitted his verion, which described the plot of the film, but that was rejected. So in the end, there's a decent film with a strange history. So how is the song?

   It's...fine. The theme is good, I can get into it relatively easy and it does have fun. Tom Jones is not bad, he might sing a little too overlydrammatic at times, but at least it does have some sort of spirit to the film, Thunderball and all.

Overall, I give it a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars.
