BRIDGET'S SPY SONG PLAYLIST

 SHIRLEY BASSEY- MR. KISS KISS BANG BANG

Sam Smith may be the current reigning Bond theme warbler but the undisputed queen of James Bond tunes is Shirley Bassey. The Welsh foghorn is responsible for two stone-cold classics of the genre: "Goldfingaaaaaah!" and "Diamonds Are Forevaaaaah!" But she almost had a third Bond theme to her name. Bassey recorded "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'( as Japanese fans were wont to refer to Bond back in the day) as the theme to 1965's Thunderball but the producers wanted a song with the movie's title so they drafted in Tom Jones to record a song called Thunderball that has never been heard since.

At the same time Bassey was belting out the never-to-be-heard song, Dionne Warwick was in a studio doing her best with the same tune.
