…they are all I need to please me… they can stimulate and tease me….” ooooooeeerrr.
We can see why the lyrics in this particular Bond Theme: Diamonds Are Forever were not a huge hit for Harry Saltzman who was the producer of this James Bond Film starring Sean Connery in 1971. He apparently thought that the lyrics were a little too risky. This Bond theme only made the film in the end as Albert Broccoli absolutely loved it! We think you’ll agree that Dame Shirley Bassey does an AWESOME job of singing the pants off this Bond theme! SUCH saucy lyrics but then innuendo always plays a big part in all the James Bond films and Diamonds Are Forever was no exception.
Sean Connery appeared in 7 Bond films in total. Diamonds Are Forever was the last Bond movie by Eon to use SPECTRE. We can’t wait for the next Bond film due out in November 2015 which is called SPECTRE! Wonder if they will bring back Dame Shirley Bassey to sing it?
Well we thought we’d see if Diamonds really are Forever – and found this little cheeky diamond encrusted Mercedes that was custom built for a mere £48million – not sure if we would ever drive this anywhere and we certainly wouldn’t leave it parked on the street overnight!
