A Shame...

As we all know, just before Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang looked set to be the main song for Thunderball, Cubby Broccoli decided that the main song must share the film's title and so John Barry wrote a replacement at the last minute. But did you know that the song that Lulu eventually sung for The Man with the Golden Gun was originally called The Man with Three Nipples but Broccoli vetoed it again. I believe it's available on YouTube somewhere. It's great.

i think the theme song is good.

I agree. I'm not suggesting it isn't. "The Man with the Golden Gun" has exactly the same music as "The Man with Three Nipples" but the words are different and, for my money, the lyrics to the latter are far more nuanced and emotive.
