Official Video
As if you didn't know, A View To A Kill
was the theme tune for the James Bond movie (starring Roger Moore) and
peaked at #2 in the UK for three weeks, being held off the top spot by
Paul Hardcastle with N-N-N-N-Nineteen. The video is regarded by some critics as being a bit cheesy, but the lads were definitely enjoying themselves in their roles and doing something a bit different from the normal pop videos, at least! James Bond in the 80s was cheesy? How dare you! In the US the song reached #1 and was the only James Bond theme tune to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts. The track was written by Duran Duran and John Barry and was recorded with the help of a 60-piece orchestra. Duran Duran were at the peak of their career in the mid 80s, and in the previous year (1984) they had reached #1 with The Reflex and #2 with The Wild Boys.  |
