I never pay enough attention to lyrics to really care. I'm more into the "sound" of their voice (the voice as an instrument) than what they actually say.
Thunderball. Was that a code word from the film? I really can't remember without watching it again.
Yes. The dossiers presented to the double-0 agents during M's briefing, are sealed manilla folders that prominently display the stenciled wording: OPERATION: THUNDERBALL.
Thunderball makes a little more sense if you take it as a reference to the nuclear devices going operational.
That's what I've always thought Black's lyrics were alluding to. A "Thunderball" created by a nuclear explosion, since two nuclear weapons are stolen and set to detonate by Largo (Blofeld and the rest of SPECTRE).
Don Black may have been making some hidden sexual references or analogies between the "nuclear thunderball" and Bond's sexual conquests...in which case THUNDERBALLS - plural - would have been more accurate.

That's interesting. That happens with me because most songs are full of gobbledegook almost from the start. One makes an attempt to listen and absorb, however, it just ain't possible. To learn a song I'll go online and look up the many different versions to cross-check etc. Sure enough, there'll be mismatches in many lines between songs due to the original songster's gobbledegook. Then I realise it wasn't just me furrowing my brow at that incomprehensible brick wall. The point is that before the words fall into place, they act as filler and nothing more.
Joshua use to play it to torture me. Thank the gods he sold it. Wish I could remember the lyrics specifically, but I cannot.
One song had to do with "Flying Planes" and the singer would repeat over & over again: "I Like Flying Planes..." And another song boasted: "I'm the Queenie for Your Geenie..."
It was madness, I tell you.
And there are other lyrics that drive me batty, but this was the first composition that came to mind. Most of the lyrics in 'pop' music are a major turn-off for me too. Silly, Silly and Silly.
Maybe not nutty, but I didn't want to start a whole topic on it.
I'd always misinterpreted a line in The Byrds' "Turn, Turn, Turn":
A time you may embrace A time to refrain from embracing ----
Then it kicks into that sweet guitar solo...
Anyway, I always thought the "time to embrace" was like a moment to physically embrace, rather than what I now think the lyric means, which is to accept or not accept the goings on during a certain period of time.
Pete Seeger and The Book of Ecclesiastes..talk about your "odd couple"!
"Oopa Gangnam Style". I think that's how you spell it. if I hear one more *expletive* sing that alleged hook from that alleged song, I swear i'll *insert alleged threat*

The first time we heard that in my Zumba session, the entire class thought he was singing "condom star". Listen to it at about 24-26 seconds in...........
I like you and you like me a lot And we do those things that can make us feel hot Then we join some friends, all of them are all right And we talk a while, then we climb in our cars
What a night, we all drive into town Where we'll park our cars, and meet the rest of our friends At a place that's called, I forget what it's called But it's really great, and all our friends will be there

I always find that the CD that gets played most often for airport trips is, All The Best. And I'm constantly listening to what the man said. He say: doo-doO-DOO, du-DU-du-du-du.
