Trivia/Info
- John Flansburgh: "The song doesn't have the classic crunchy spy chords of Bond music but the biting guitar is a hat tip to that famous intro. If there was any specific piece of music that it jumps off of I'd guess I'd point to Peter Gunn."[1] The Johns have covered the "Peter Gunn" theme song before.
- Features Steven Bernstein on trumpet.
- No two endings of this song are alike in live performances. In concert, the end of "Spy" is improvised by the band which is led by a random "conductor" (either John).
