How are the Theme Songs chosen ?

GREAT question. I am betting it is a combination of approval of producers and the guy/girl that does the score.

Very interesting to think about it though. Welcome to the board!

From what I can tell, I know that at least it's the choice of the director and producers (Wilson and Broccoli). I'm also pretty sure MGM has a major hand in it as well.

From listening to the TND commentary, they get several candidates for the songs and then pick one.

I'd say the director, Wilson, Broccoli, MGM and, of course the composer all have imput but it'd be Wilson and Broccoli who give the final okay.
