Jones, Tom - Thunderball Lyrics
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.
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.

Jones, Tom Thunderball Comments
Mix John Barry and Tom Jones are glorious !
Wow Tom its awesome with the voice. Best bond song ever
R.I.P. Claudine Auger
John Fucking Barry
R.I.P Claudine Auger!
Rest in Peace Claudine Auger 💔🥀
Atemporal!
B.H. presente!
Probably my favorite Bond song. All of John Barry's scores were top notch. The instrumental version of this song, also in this movie, is very good too.
Just sang it last night at karaoke and nailed it. No, I didn't get laid, but damned if I didn't walk out of it feeling like a man!
Duck dogers
it's 2019 and it applies. His days are asking are all gone.
Boa musica com esse cantor Tom Jones
Long Be Dead a Female Bond
I was 17 bought this album, still have it, I am 71 shortly.
Who had a James Bond car for Christmas that year? 9/11, That's almost 50p to the rest of you!.
i sat for five minutes messing with my headphones cause theres no sound for like 10 seconds. thanks
He passedout with the last note true story
Con licencia para matar !
1:12 汗くせ~🎵
Tipazo Sir Tom Jones...!
Watched this again on Blu Ray yesterday, the movie's still awesome and this theme owns.
Awesome!!! Why isn't this in Twitch Sings ???
The best theme for James Bond. Fantastic The tiger of Gales. Great trumpet
And he strikes, like Thunderbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall!
The producers had to come back after the extraordinary powerful job Shirley Bassey did for "Goldfinger." IMHO, they did. You can't go wrong with Carlton Bank's guardian angel.
The most bad-assed James Bond theme.
Great music. One of the best stories of my life.
I haven't doubty that this song remember us of good time James Bond!!!
Cristal voice !.. TOM JONES
I listen to "Thunderball", while I'm eating my Wheaties.
I Played this to the Japanese Sociopath Girl in my class .......
Now she calls me "Senpai"!!!!
he is or was the onlyone who could have sung such song.
Everyone need to stop saying that Sean Connery was the best James Bond. He is James Bond.
He is the worst. The best is Pierce Brosnan.
@Opriadr
Sean Connery was the first and he will be the last James Bond. Every other actors tried to replicate the essence that Sean Connery the Original James Bond brought to the screen that was created by Ian Fleming And Albert Broccoli. You maybe coming from new school but you need go back to the beginning of what James Bond was, none better than Sean Connery.
What a voice!!
According to urban legend, Tom Jones fainted in the studio during the recording after holding the note at 2:41 for so long.
💪💪💪💙💙💙
Mogg for PM
His needs are more , so he gives less .... sums up the worlds politicians damn well.
It's probably been mentioned already but Tom passed out holding that final note for so long
Dad said once when we were watching this one that only Bond could shoot 10 guys with an 8 shot Walther, stir a drink, and fondle a beautiful woman simultaneously.
YEAH BABY YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Connery looked the best in Thunderball. In his 4th Bond, the most action-packed 007 outing to date, he was tan and fit and he was one sexy s.o.b.
He still probably put half of his heart into playing Bond in TB. However, he labored in You Only Live Twice. It definitely was one too many Bond films in his mind. You could hardly blame him. Starting with Dr. No in 1962, four 007 movies were released in conservative years which, in itself was amazing. Audiences have only seen 5 Bond films in THIS century! That's nearly four years between each release. Anyway, with the Bond character consuming so much of his time and not wanting to be seen as a one trick pony, it was hardly a surprise that Connery took a bow and went onto enjoy a long and prolific career. (With just a couple of detours into the world of MI6 and dry martinis).
Sean Connery was the perfect James Bond.
Sir Sean Connery will always and forever BE James Bond.
Connery the Best ever Bond! Thank you Sean!
Yes true words
Trump’s theme song.
Espetacular canção interpretada pelo talentoso cantor nascido no país de Gales Tom Jones. 😀😀😀👍👍👍
Yes, I agree.
Hold that note Tom.......
TOM JONES' "THUNDERBALL" JAMES BOND 007's 4th Movie Hits No. 25 for 6 Weeks on New Year's Day 1966 on Parrot Records (LONDON RECORDS.)
IT'S THE THEME FROM SPY HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!
LA MAGIA
Mogg > Bond
Best 007 song of all time
I always thought if I HAD to choose my theme song to be one of the Bond themes it would either be Thunderball or Golden Gun.
Hurricanelive you mean Goldeneye or man with the golden gun?
grande John Barry....
vozeirão....
Great artist! Fantastic voice Tom Jones!
Tenia cinco años y la recuerdo tan bien viva tom jones
The fight is worth it all
Great collaboration of John Barry, Don Black & Tom Jones with of course the infamous final note which Barry demanded Tom hold as long as he could (9 seconds as it turns out) which caused Tom to faint in the recording booth
Tom fainted singing the final note of Thunderball
Tom Jones, e 007 foi a combinação perfeita
Maybe the best Bond song ever.
Power, passion, projection and....
A Welsh Superstar Legend.
What more can one reasonably ask in a Bond movie?
This is what a Bond theme should sound like. The trend of using the latest pop singer is killing the reason for a theme. We want power and passion. Listen to Tom Jones final note and tell me if doesn't get to you
@Terry Penman >> Well said. The only other one that comes closest is Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger. You might not agree but I think ABBA would have also been memorable, but only if the song had a haunting quality to it, as well as power and passion. Along the lines of "The Winner Takes It All." In a grand orchestral manner as with John Barry.. And, yes, Tom Jones final note gets to me. I listen to this theme song from time to time.
@Peedmypantaloons >> Actually he was more of a ballad singer.
@Peedmypantaloons i was about say the same
007 is a 50+ year franchise. It was fading until rebooted w/ Casino Royale. The producers won't spend $200 million unless the Newgen likes it.
Terry Penman who the duck do you think Tom was at this time? He definitely wasn’t a nobody
So what was special..

Murray Kash RIP (SPECTRE #11)
I love thunderball theme song!
This and the spy who loved me, are my favorites
the voice of the tiger!
Mayou9235 thank you so much......
Very beatiful nice song......thanks.......*********************
There are two girls underwater and I have read one interview by a Christina Hayward, the other girl is Jean, possibly Jean McGrath. Anybody has any info please post because this is the best opening for any Bond. Notice that the girls have figures that would be considered "fluffy" today, but I miss this era. Try as you might, even with a 150,000,000 budget, you don't top this. Oh, and Mr. Jones, my hat is off to you!
This is my favorite James Bond Theme Song. Nobody could sing this song or any other Bond Theme Song as powerful as Tom Jones.
@chrismc410 Mr. Jones's fellow Welsh homie, right?
@Juliaflo yes. Dame Shirley Bassey and Sir Tom Jones are both from Wales
@Nicholas Duran Duran is up there too. Up until Adele's "Skyfall" their "A View To A Kill" was the only Bond theme to win A Grammy upon release
Exactamente.... Pienso lo mismo...
Did any of them (allegedly) faint on the final note of their song?
Can't clog the Mogg
Pushy... where are you? Hillary hates alpha males...
Great voice, great trumpet!!
I think this song got all the 007 spirit....
José Carvalho speak fucking English.
@oh You mean grammar, Dumbass. (dumbass was capitalized because I made it your name)
The lyric is so unintetionaly funny. :) LMFAO ))))
Love it best bond soundtrack
Great Song Tom Jones Marina Circle🎵👍!
Lyrics to
"Thunderball"
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.

IMPOSSIBLE to improve on PERFECTION.
Wonderful Orchestration.
Tom Jones’ best song ever. 007 theme songs are quintessentially defined by Gold Finger and Thunderball.
Live and Let Die wasnt too shabby
irretocavel, magistral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sergio luiz - brasil
The high notes! WOW!
Did Tom Jones get sued by Kevin McClory for writing a song about "Thunderball?" Maybe that's why his career never really took off.
One of the best iconic Bond songs.
What an effort on that last note!!
That last note actually made him faint. He should have gotten more praise!
Soon a British PM to be proud of on the world stage!!
Cliff Hanley Get out of here communist scum.
Fuck you, fascist sock puppet.
Col McKay Don't make yourself look like an idiot. Read up on fascism and you will see it's nothing like classic liberalism, which Mogg represents.
Chicago School of Economics, disaster capitalism and despicable Ayn Rand Objectivism then . . . And I called you a fascist in response to your 'go away communist' comment to a contributor who clearly cares more for the health and wealth of humanity than you do.
How can you admire Mogg - the most entitled, anachronistic throwback to the era of the workhouse currently at large in this willfully incompetent shit-show some call the Tory party?
Fuck him - he's a cunt.
If you think communism is a good idea for the UK then you honestly are stupid. It's never worked before and never will because quite simply it's unsustainable. And don't give me that (oh, but we haven't tried REAL communism before) nonsense. Funny how the fact I'm not a communist somehow makes me a fascist, too. Besides, haven't more people died under Communist governments than Fascist ones?
I admire Mogg because he's, despite his posh accent, he is actually one of the more down-to-earth members of parliament, and genuinely seems to want the best for the British people. Call the Tory party a shit show, but that's Theresa May's doing, not Rees Mogg's. And it's in much better shape than the Labour party at the moment.
Jacob Rees-Mogg brought me here
who is Rees-Mogg?
+Mike Twigger He is a conservative member of parliament in the United Kingdom, the reason this song is associated with him is because there is a YouTube channel that covers him, and his speeches / appearances called "Mogg The Week" that uses this song as the outro theme.
He's a cunt. A lying, self-satisfied cunt.
It's been a year since first comment. He is still a cunt.
Sorry, this is the best of the Bond opening songs.... Adele's Sky fall is so close to taking number 1, but Shirley Bassey's Goldfibger comes in at number 3... too much BLATTTT in her voice.. I thought she was black for years.
Well you were half right
She is mixed. She has a very powerful voice
Live And Let Die is #1 for many people.
Simply the best, my favourite
Mogg the Week!!! ❤
Bravo Tom!!!!!!!!!!!! Who can sing better than Tom Jones? NO ONE!!!!!!!!!
Con licencia para matar..!
Tom Jones is the Chuck Norris of the pop singer world.
