8. A View To A Kill - Duran Duran
A View To A Kill is very much a product of its time. Anyone that doubts this fact needs to go back and watch the film that showcased Silicon Valley as a set piece, Christopher Walken as the result of a Nazi experiment, and used neon black light paint on its title sequence models as if it were a vital commodity. If there were ever a closing argument for this films overall 80s nature, it would be this theme song by Duran Duran. But thats whats so fun and memorable about the song, and it managed to do what Bond songs are supposed to do in the first placeit promised a good time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl6fHYDc3TQ Sure, some of its lyrics make no sense past the opening (crystal tears and falling snowflakes are mentioned) and some not at all (what exactly is lovers rosy stain?) but its catchy chorus and threatening synthesizer manage to give the audience the perpetual sense of dread that only a Bond villain could muster.
