At the time, it was somewhat smaller than today and it was called the Filmový symfonický orchestr (FISYO) (The Film Symphony Orchestra) or was sometimes known as the Film Symphony of Prague. Many wonderful international films were done by this orchestra in the early days. Recordings have been made for film production companies such as Paramount, Sony, Lucasfilm and many others in the Smecky Music Studios. David Lynch returned again in 1997 to record his Lost Highway, and yet again in 2001 to record Mulholland Drive.
Fully privatized after the Velvet Revolution, today, the musicians and supporting professionals continue to play and record music together (usually every day of the week) for major international films, television series, CDs/DVDs, video games, and even ring tones - both for the Czech Republic market and for clients & media productions around the world.

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He acts while other men just talk
He looks at this world, and wants it all
So he strikes, like thunderball
He knows the meaning of success
His needs are more, so he gives less
They call him the winner who takes all
Any woman he wants, he'll get
He will break any heart without regret
His days of asking are all gone
His fight goes on and on and on
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all
So he strikes like thunderball
The lyrics of "Thunderball" by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra speak about a man who is determined and focused on achieving success. He is characterized as someone who is always moving forward, running while others walk and taking action while others only talk. He possesses a strong desire to obtain everything that the world has to offer, and he goes after it with full force like a thunderball.
The man's approach to success is one of giving less and taking more. He understands that success comes at a price, and he is willing to pay that price by working tirelessly to achieve his goals. The song also alludes to the character's love life, as he is portrayed as a womanizer who is capable of winning over any woman he desires. He takes pleasure in breaking hearts and has no remorse for his actions.
The lyrics suggest that this man has surpassed his days of asking, and he is now at the stage in his life where he takes what he wants. He continues to fight hard to maintain his position and status in life. The song presents him as an individual who wins at all costs, and he finds it all worth it, even if it means hurting others along the way.
