Johnny Cash Sings Thunderball

posted by Jett Loe

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.
