Johnny Cash Sings Thunderball

August 2nd, 2008by Jett Loe · 2 Comments

As a change of pace from the serious discussion of violence in this post – via the Nashville Film Blog comes this James Bond theme, (produced on spec?), by Mr. Johnny Cash.

I had heard of the last-minute change in the theme of Thunderball, from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang to Tom Jones’ ‘Thunderball‘ – but had never heard that Mr. Cash had submitted one of his own.

As much of a fan of Johnny as I am, I can see why this wasn’t used.  The Man in Black’s doom and regret laden persona doesn’t really jibe with the casually violent and flippant Mr. Bond.

    wow….it feels almost as if someone pitched a tv show based on the bond films, except set in the old west – with trains!
