Very cool....so ultra 1960's... Austin Power(ish).....was any of that you playing?
The first time I heard that song was on an ocean liner (H.M.S Franconia) crossing the atlantic. We were on our way to spend the summer in London and in Ireland. My Mother was deathly afraid of flying so whenever we went to see the family , instead of flying we took a train (3 days and 3 nights) from Vancouver Canada and boarded a Cunard ship in Quebec. They showed movies everyday on the ship and James Bond was all the rage then. My brother and I snuck into see Thunderball when my Mom was laying out by the pool. Never would have been allowed to see this otherwise.

Just needs a lil' Tom Jones and it'll be complete. :)

When Tom Jones went into the recording studio and looked at the lyric for Thunderball he asked: "What is this about?".
The composer, John Barry, told him: "Just think: Mack the Knife; its about a villain."
"Oh," was the Welchman's reply.
Barry then told him, "Hold the last note as long as you can at the end."
"Okay," was the Welchman's response.
Jones ended up holding the powerful coda so long it is said he passed out!
