And not one of Don Black's best moments. He's done better, with "Surrender"
from TND.

Hal David, Burt Bacarach's lyricist, is probably the best Bond film theme song
lyricist in the series. He was at his absolute best in OHMSS, when he
collaborated with John Barry to write the lyrics for "We Have All The Time In
The World."

Who will he.......???????
We shall see!

Someone please fill in the blank for me--I can never quite understand this
word as Lulu sings it...thought it might be "find," but I'm not sure.

The same can be said for the whole movie. I think that the song and the
movie were made for eachother.

You are correct, Michael -- and as usual, I disagree! I love
this line (and this song). "Bang" is a great word choice here,
given it's double-entendre meaning. "Who will he bang?"
could refer to his next assassination victim or to the female
he will sleep with before his next kill. Perfect.
