[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 312360, member: 8"] Is it the full version from the vinyl single or part of that medley from the original soundtrack? Bond Song #11 [ATTACH type="full"]34460[/ATTACH] Since Bond went "pop" courtesy of McCartney & Wings, followed by the even poppier Golden Gun song, it would have made absolutely perfect sense to use [I]Bond '77[/I] for the titles opening sequence. But since it actually was the first piece of music featured in [I]The Spy Who Loved Me[/I] they sort of had their cake and ate it. I'd be very surprised if Carly's theme wouldn't make the Top 5 because...what's not to love about this great song? But whereas several other themes informed the audience of Bond's upcoming predicament, and they just had to wait and see how it would all pan out, [I]Nobody Does It Better[/I] already announces him as the winner, and that "James Bond is everything!" approach almost makes it sound like a fanclub song. I think it works better as Carly's conclusion and shout-out in the end credits - and in its own right as the cherry on the cake - but I would have preferred the full version [U]minus[/U] that Village People thing-y right after the final scene. It was fortunate that [I]You're So Vain,[/I] was released in 1972 and not after her Bond affair as it could be interpreted as a change-of-heart follow-up song.
