~ Quantum of Solace title song
Views: 126603 |  |  |  |  | Music video made using The Movies game for the PC.
Ever since I heard they were using "Quantum of Solace" for the next Bond movie title, I thought, "Cool, but it's gotta be hard to write the theme song. What the heck rhymes with solace?"
Well, I tr ...More ied my hand at it, just for laughs. And I don't think my lyrics are all that bad. "Quantum of Solace" turned out to fit much more smoothly into song lyrics than, say, "He strikes like a Thunderball."
Mind you, not that I don't love Tom Jones' Thunderball song. |

--DESCRIPTION: Bond, James Bond...there are few in this world who could say they haven't heard those immortal words spoken by one incarnation or another over the years. J ...More ames Bond is a movie legend played by one legendary actor after another. But what would James Bond be without a good score and great music to accompany him on his missions.

Note that these songs are the "Title Themes" only. None of the other theme songs connected to each movie are included in this compilation.

~ Agent R Entertainment James Bond Month: Thunderball OT
Views: 9191 |  |  |  |  | Here's the opening titles for Thunderball which is sung by Tom Jones.
Disclaimer: We do not own James Bond and are not related in anyway. We just fans!
Lyrics:
He always runs while others walk,
He acts while other men just talk,
He looks at t ...More his world and wants it all,
So he strikes like Thunderball.
He knows the meaning of success,
His needs are more so he gives less,
They call him the winner who takes all,
And he strikes like Thunderball.
Any woman he wants he'll get
He will break any heart without regret.
His days of asking are all gone,
His fight goes on and on and on,
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all,
So he strikes like Thunderball. |

~ Dionne Warwick Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Thunderball 1965
Views: 36972 |  |  |  |  | Writes Geoff Leonard in "Bond by Barry: The Story of James Bond Music": For Thunderball, the fourth film in the Bond series, the producers for this outing felt it a good idea to do away with the normal title song, (Thunderball was thought to prove diff ...More icult lyric-wise in any case). So they decided to use the name by which Bond had become known in Italy and Japan - Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Accordingly, Barry based the entire score around this title song which had lyrics written solely by Leslie Bricusse (Newley was working in America at the time). The Bond team had even chosen the singer - Dionne Warwick, who sang her own arrangement, after Shirley Bassey's original version had failed to impress. Barry takes up the story: "Dionne's was a marvellous song and she did a great arrangement for it. It was a really strange song. It had about twelve cow bells on it with different rhythms, along with a large orchestra, and thought it a very original piece. Then, at the last minute they got cold feet and decided to have a song called 'Thunderball'." The official reason for the change of mind was that the original song-title may have been considered to have sexual connotations in conservative America, but rumour has it that there may have been a threat of court action from Bassey following her replacement by Warwick. Obviously if the song wasn't used at all, there could be no case to answer!
Whatever the reason, it led to Barry's long partnership with lyricist Don Black, as by the time the decision to change the song had been taken, Bricusse had also gone to work in America and wasn't available. When director Terence Young heard Tom Jones singing Thunderball for the first time, he said it sounded like 'Thunderfinger'. Barry's laughing rejoinder was to the effect that "I gave them what they wanted." |

~ Dionne Warwick Two Ships Passing in the Night 1983
Views: 9638 |  |  |  |  | Millions of record buyers around the world may have this Dionne Warwick penned tune and not know it. It was used as the "B" side of "That's What Friends Are For". In 1983, Dionne Warwick collaborated with Luther Van Dross on her Arista album "How Many T ...More imes Can We Say Goodbye." The title tune was a hit duet with Luther and the album featured "So Amazing." Another tune on the album was "Two Ships Passing in the Night" written by none other than Dionne herself. Dionne had written in the past and a little known bit of trivia is in 1967 Dionne wrote a tune for her friend Helen Reddy, already a star in her native Australia. Entitled "Go" Helen cut Dionne's composition as a demo to pitch herself to the record companies in the USA. Capital Records eventually signed Ms. Reddy. Dionne also provided a killer arrangement for "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" to have been used in the 1965 James Bond film "Thunderball." Geoff Leonard wrote in "Bond by Barry: The Story of James Bond Music": For Thunderball, the fourth film in the Bond series, the producers for this outing felt it a good idea to do away with the normal title song, (Thunderball was thought to prove difficult lyric-wise in any case).

Barry's laughing rejoinder was to the effect that "I gave them what they wanted."
Dionne also wrote and co-wrote several tunes for her critically acclaimed 1995 Arista album "Aquarela Do Brasil" which featured several tunes sung in Portuguese and was recorded primarily in Brazil with Brazilian musicians. |
