I still say “Diamonds are Forever” and “The Man with the Gold Gun” themes are very underrated. I bought the mp3 from Amazon, they sound great.

TMWTGG is definitely a guilty pleasure.

DAF is fine with Dame Shirley, but TMWTGG is just too harsh. Have you ever heard the initial versions planned for “Thunderball” ? It was supposed to be entitled, “Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” and they recorded two versions of it. One with Dame Shirley and the other with a very young Miss Dionne Warwick. As it was, they only used an instrumental of it in the film used as little better than background music, which I thought was a shame. I thought it was second only to “Goldfinger” in Dame Shirley’s repertoire of JB songs.

Interesting how Dame Shirley said “Kiss Kiss Bammnnn Bannng” and Miss Warwick says “Kiss Kiss Bang Banggs !” Alas, they lost out to Tom Jones’s more energetic rendition of TB.
