Is it about Bond or about Largo?
I always just assumed it was about Bond. Seems rather obvious to me. But apparently, there has been fan debate over it for years.

This one?
Thunderballed!
AC/DC
Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder
I was caught
In the middle of a shark pack (thunder)
I looked 'round
And I knew there was no turning back (thunder)
My mind raced
And I thought, what could I do? (Thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (thunder)
Sound of the bombs
Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You've been
Thunderballed!
Rode down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the town
Went to see Largo, yeah, Largo, and we had some fun
We met some girls
like Domino who gave a good time
Broke all the rules
Played all the fools
Yeah, yeah, they, they, she blew our minds
And I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again, please?
Yeah, them ladies were too kind
You've been
Thunderballed! Thunderballed!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Thunderballed!
Ooh, Thunderballed! yeah
I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again, please? Oh
Thunderballed! Thunderballed!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Thunderballed! Thunderballed!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, said, yeah, it's alright, we're doin' fine
Yeah, it's alright, we're doin' fine, fine, fine
Thunderballed! yeah, yeah, yeah
Thunderballed! Thunderballed!
Thunderballed! whoa, baby, baby
Thunderballed! you've been Thunderballed!
Thunderballed! Thunderballed!
Thunderballed! you've been Thunderballed!

Or this one?
Admiral Ackbar
Paul McCartney
We're so sorry, Admiral Ackbar
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain
We're so sorry, Admiral Ackbar
But there's no one left on Home One
and I believe I'm gonna rain
We're so sorry, but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry, Admiral Ackbar
But if anything should happen
We'll be sure to give a ring
We're so sorry, Admiral Ackbar
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry, Admiral Ackbar
But the Lobster's on the boil
And we're so easily called away
Sand, around Mos Espa
Sand, in Mos Eisley
Sand, around Mos Espa
Sand, in Mos Eisley
Admiral Ackbar notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a Blue Milk and Lobster pie
Lobster pie?
The Lobster wouldn't die, so I put it in the pie
Sand, around Mos Espa
Sand, in Mos Eisley
Sand, around Mos Espa
Sand, in Mos Eisley
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around
(Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground, live a little, get around
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around
(Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground, live a little, get around
Sand, around Mos Espa
Sand, in Mos Eisley
Sand, around Mos Espa
Sand, in Mos Eisley

Lyricist Don Black said in an interview that the lyrics are about Bond, but can see how they might be taken to refer to Largo.
(And the lyrics really are better suited to Largo. Bond does not "look at this world and want it all.")

I always figured the lyrics were about James Bond. The lyrics were comparing his larger-than-life persona to the mission. It's true Bond doesn't "look at this world and wants it all". In Dr. No, he expresses disgust at the thought of "world domination". However, the lyrics states the person described is different from other men, which fits nicely with Bond so the song is about him.

In Dr. No, he expresses disgust at the thought of "world domination". However, the lyrics states the person described is different from other men, which fits nicely with Bond so the song is about him. But Largo is different from other men, too. There is simply no debating the established (by the lyricist himself) fact that the song is intended to be about Bond. But I say the lyrics are, in truth, a better fit for Largo. They're describing a man of insatiable greed."He looks at this world and wants it all" - not Bond. The only things that Bond wants are good food and wine, beautiful ladies, and above all, for life not to be a bore (which is why he wants to be a "00"). "His needs are more, so he gives less" - not Bond. Supremely self-sufficient, could get along with very little if he had to. "His days of asking are all gone." - Not Bond. He would never take, without asking, something not already his. (Well, maybe that grape.) That's howz I's seez it!
