* If you have read that Monty Norman performed it, for further explanation,
look just below to Brief 2 Section 11A.
Also of note is the song "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", which was recorded by
both Dionne Warwick and Shirley Bassey. It was to be the title song of EON's
fourth release until the title was changed back to "Thunderball". Neither
vocal version appears in the film but the instrumental does.
Only once has a Bond theme hit #1 on the American Billboard Music Hot 100
chart. It was Duran Duran's "A View To A Kill".
