Original The Spy Who Loved Me soundtrack cover, featuring Nobody Does It Better

"Nobody Does It Better" is a James Bond theme used for the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me and released Single EP, Soundtrack Album.

The song composed by Marvin Hamlisch, lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager and performed by Carly Simon.

It was the first Bond theme song to be titled differently from the name of the film, although the phrase "the spy who loved me" is in the lyrics. The song became a hit that is still popular today.

The song has been covered a number of times and has been featured in many non-Bond films, including, most recently: Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), performed by 8mm. Little Black Book (2004), Lost in Translation (2003) and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004) also used the song.

In 2004, the song was honored by the American Film Institute as the 67th greatest song as part of their 100 Years Series.

Thom Yorke of Radiohead fame is even heard to claim, in a bootleg recording of a live performance, that this is the "sexiest song that was ever written."

The title of the theme was later used for Carly Simon's 1999 greatest hits album, The Very Best Of Carly Simon: Nobody Does It Better.

Air New Zealand adopted the song's title as an advertising slogan, but removed it following the Erebus disaster in 1979.

In the 1980's, KDBC-TV, a local CBS affiliate in El Paso, Texas, used the song in a few of their station idents.

For the 2006 release of the new James Bond film, Casino Royale, commercials have been using the song's title "Nobody Does it Better" as a catch phrase. Various movie posters for the 1983 Bond film Octopussy featured the tagline "Nobody does him better."

The song was also featured over a montage of James Bond film clips featuring the character Q; this was included on the VHS release (as well as the 2006 Ultimate Edition DVD release) of The World Is Not Enough in order to honor the memory of then recently deceased actor Desmond Llewelyn. Llewelyn had portrayed Q in virtually every Bond film to that point, although he had retired from the role after filming his scenes for The World Is Not Enough.

The song was current during the breakout 1977 season of the young National Football League star Walter Payton, and was used by NFL Films over film clips of some of Payton's more notable achievements.
