Swedish Band A-Ha
Belted out this movie’s theme
Their best song (humble opinion)
Nice!
Composer John Barry and a-Ha did NOT get along. They hated the arrangement of their song that he used in the final cut and released their version of it on some album (whose name escapes me presently). I personally love the version in the movie, and the rest of the score – not the first use of synths in a Bond movie (OHMSS has that distinction), but the re-jigged version of the Bond theme is pretty badass.
It was also Barry’s last Bond film, incidentally.
