James Bond first appeared in Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale before reaching the screen in Dr. No in 1962, where the famous Bond theme established 007 as cinema's definitive secret agent. Composed by Monty Norman and arranged by John Barry, the theme became inseparable from the character's gun barrel openings, gadgets and missions across decades of films. Online, the short clip survives as shorthand for anyone acting suave, sneaky or impossibly prepared, which keeps it popular for edits, memes and parody entrances.
