Answer to the Song

Guess the song - "Night fall covers me"

Answer to the song - "A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran 

Bonus - The answer is the same title as the film.

Point of interest - Duran Duran's recording was backed by a 60-piece orchestra.

Point of interest - John Taylor put through a request to producer, Cubby Broccoli, while at a party.  John is a Bond fan and encouraged Cubby to let Duran Duran play the theme.  Of course, the musical history can go from there.

"A View to a Kill" was released in May 1985.


Honors - 
Golden Gold Nomination for Best Original Song

No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 - Only Bond theme to reach No. 1
No. 2 on UK Singles Chart

Music video - Of every intriguing aspect of the music video, the last line of the song rests with Simon.  "Bon.  Simon Le Bon."
