The originally intended theme song for Thunderball was entitled “Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” a reference to a nickname given to Bond by an Italian journalist in 1962. Dionne Warwick and Shirley Bassey both recorded versions, but halfway through the scoring process, Cubby Broccoli decided that the film’s title must appear in the lyrics, so “Thunderball” was commissioned. The song still plays a prominent role in the score and both singers’ versions have appeared on compilations in the 1990s.
