It would be good if James Bong was a western..otherwise..nope...:)
-
@DJX187 Hmm, maybe. It's hard to understand the lyrics at times due to the way Johnny talks.
-
the song is actually about the bomb itself - he only refers to it as "her" - just to reference.. and he actually references Bond, by saying "somewhere there is a man who can stop the thing in time"... it actually tells more about the plot of the film itself then maybe previously thought?

I can kinda imagine a Clint Eastwood gunbarrel sequence. :)

@WhenWorldsCollide91 Agreed, but this version of Thunderball just doesn't fit as well as the Tom Jones version because TJ's version could be about both Bond and the villain, while this one is about a woman.

Fuck me, what an awesome song. First time I listen to it, though I am a great fan of the James Bond movies as well as of Johnny Cash. He managed to get that subtlety in the song... you know, the kind of dark undertone that is in every 007 theme song. Love it.
-
awesome song. :-)
-
@Malenock86 It's definitely awesome, but the reason that it just doesn't work is because Johnny's version is about a woman, while Tom Jone's version is about either the villain or Bond himself, depending on how you look at it.

Original Theme song was sung by Tom Jones

This is fucking awesome. I love the Tom Jones version but this is equally awesome if not a little more so. lol
I love Johnny Cash!
Such an awesome song.
But sadly it doesn't fit James Bond. It's too western and not classy.

Great song by Johnny Cash. Perhaps if they made this movie into a James Bond western or filmed in Texas or Gulf of Mexico instead of the carribean, it would have been a suitable Bond opening song.
