"Your Move" by Yes.
It's probably better known as "I've Seen All Good People", but "Your Move" is what the relevant 45 was labelled and how Casey announced it when it (barely) made AT40 in late 1971. (Ironically, "Your Move" didn't move in its second of two weeks on the countdown, staying at #40.)

Christopher Cross - Arthur´s theme Although he does say 'Arthur' in it, probably to meet the then-requirement (don't know if it still is) that songs nominated for the 'Best Song' Oscar must have the title of the movie in the song lyrics. Also the reason why Carly Simon sang '...the spy who loved me...' in "Nobody Does It Better". Looking at the list of Oscar-winning songs, I don't think that was ever a rule . And certainly not in the '70s or '80s: "Up Where we Belong" does not contain the phrase "An Officer & a Gentleman", for example, nor does "We may Never Love Like This Again" mention "Towering Inferno". There is, however, a rule that you must prove the song was written specifically for the film (and wasn't just some song that had been sitting around for years). That cost the title song from "The Rose" a nomination, because the songwriter went on The Tonight Show and told Johnny Carson she'd written it some years before.

Yes, you're correct. If there was such a rule, it was gone by then. "I'm Easy" doesn't mention 'Nashville' in it's lyric either. So I guess Hamlisch and Sager just put '...the spy who loved me...' in the lyric for the fun of it.

I'm going to be very nit-picky here, but in "Girls With Guns," Tommy Shaw twice mentions "a girl with guns" but never says the title outright.
