Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: A James Bond Music Podcast

The World is Not Enough

Tom and Morgan take us back to Pierce Brosnan's third outing as James Bond from 1999. The film's title theme was performed by indie-rock band Garbage, with Shirley Manson revealing just how much of a fan she was of the series. We find out who else was apparently in the running, the different version of the song and much more.

We Have All the Time in the World (On Her Majesty's Secret Service)

Technically, not the main theme of the film, but Morgan and Tom discuss the beautiful Louis Armstrong ballad from the iconic George Lazenby James Bond movie. We look at how Louis got involved in the project, how it was brought back many years later and the song's ongoing legacy.

Thunderball

Morgan and Tom dissect Tom Jones's barnstorming 60s Bond theme 'Thunderball', and its movie of the same name starring Sean Connery. From the original plans featuring a different song title, to Tom Jones almost passing out while recording the final line, to Johnny Cash's excellent attempt, there's a lot to unpack.

Licence to Kill

Morgan and Tom look back at the theme song of Timothy Dalton's second and final outing as James Bond: Licence to Kill by Gladys Knight. We discuss how the song fits into arguably the best Bond film of the 80s, and the story behind the track which was written by the people behind the biggest Christmas song of the last 35 years.

You Know My Name (Casino Royale)

We discuss the first theme song in Daniel Craig's era as James Bond: Chris Cornell's 'You Know My Name' from Casino Royale. The rock anthem by the Soundgarden frontman was perhaps a surprising choice for the franchise at the time, but how did it work as part of the film's mood and where does it rank in our list of favourite Bond themes?
