I unashamedly love that song.

Goodness, I didn't even remember that song.
I think it's beautiful.
Its use in the film is exquisite, the refrain concludes when Tracy appears at the ice rink.
Look who showed up on Bob's couch last Saturday night in 50th Anniversaryland...
(The Bob Newhart Show, "Blues for Mr. Borden," Dec. 1, 1973)

"Dr. Hartley. It's good to see you again."
Bob: Well, if you enjoy selling insurance, you may just have to change your image a little.
Holy butterhook!
Another LALD alum turns up in 50th anniversary viewing:
Ironside, "Double-Edged Corner," Dec. 6, 1973.

I didn't really have to go to the previous page to tell what song you were talking about. It's a terrible song.
LALD is toward the bottom of the list for me.
And the song is so overrated. I truly believe that had literally anyone else written it, it would be pretty universally panned. And the GNR cover is poison to my ears.

"Nobody Does It Better" is the quintessential Bond song to me.
Nobody Does It Better / You Know My Name are neck and neck for me.
Never thought of it that way. But absolutely true.
Damn it. Now I have Moonraker stuck in my head, of all things.
"All Time High" is a gorgeous Roger Moore Era theme song and I'll die on that hill. After winning a a Fabergé egg in a dice roll.
In the Amazon Prime documentary about the Bond music, the writers and makers felt that the song didn’t work. But I agree, it’s a great song. I don’t care for the film but the song is great.
It plays better if you envision Frank singing it as originally intended.
But will you fight a knife-thrower while dressed in a clown outfit?
I'm still scratching my head why they passed on Blondie's pitch for the FYEO theme song:
