10) Nobody Does It Better – Carly Simon
Recommended Videos
Immortalized by Steve Coogan in TV’s I’m Alan Partridge, Carly Simon’s “Nobody Does It Better” was even before it was given the comedy treatment so inescapably campy and overblown as to be borderline laughable. That’s its charm really – the very title is an innuendo, alluding to 007’s skill as a spy, as well as his prowess as a dynamite lover.
In spite of its daffiness, it’s hard not to be swept up by “Nobody Does It Better’s” 70s pop-rock stylings, or that oddly rousing chorus. And it fits The Spy Who Loved Me‘s ridiculous opening titles – full of naked women dancing on guns and Roger Moore’s Bond shooting at them, for some reason – perfectly.
