hi again. here's question 2/3 -

tom jones sings the theme from the james bond film thunderball. i'm guessing john barry wrote it, but - for all the bonus points, the car, the luggage and the tropical trip...

...what orchestra or group or bunch of pickup guys backed him?

I'm guessing Monty Norman.

Leslie Bricusse wrote the lyrics...

Mike Patton?

this was just on fresh air on NPR the other day. john barry was rolling about how bad the lyrics were.

He always runs while others walk,
He acts while other men just talk,
He looks at this world and wants it all,
So he strikes like Thunderball.
He knows the meaning of success,
His needs are more so he gives less,
They call him the winner who takes all,
And he strikes like Thunderball.
Any woman he wants he'll get
He will break any heart without regret.
His days of asking are all gone,
His fight goes on and on and on,
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all,
So he strikes like Thunderball.
