Founder of Penguin Cafe Orchestra sadly died in 1997; RIP Simon Jeffes.

This track was used in PBS's "NOVA" in their episode of Fermat's Theorem (the most difficult mathematical problem - it took 358 years to solve!)

It was also used in commercials for Morgan Stanley, and IIRC "The Handmaid's Tale" to great effect.

Default A Tale of 3 songs and 3 singers.

For the follow up James Bond movie to "Goldfinger", namely "Thunderball", the producers had Shirley Bassey sing their penned theme "Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang". A great song too with Shirley really belting out the lyrics.



However it was decided that a softer, more romantic version would be better. And so Dionne Warwick was chosen to record version no. 2.



"Great, that's a wrap"..they probably said......But later on reflection, the song didn't say anything about the film or the title "Thunderball".

....So they had Tom Jones record the now familiar theme "Thunderball". And so the story goes, as he was squeezing out the last notes during recording he collapsed/fainted, and that's the version they went with.
