"A View To A Kill" Is The Thirteenth Single By Rock Band Duran Duran Released In May 1985. It Was A Stand-Alone Single Created For The Movie And It Remains The Only James Bond Theme Song To Have Reached #1 On The Billboard Hot 100 It Also Made It To #2 For 3 Weeks On The UK Singles Chart Held Off The Top Spot By "19" By Paul Hardcastle. In 1986 John Barry And Duran Duran Were Nominated For The Golden Globe Award For Best Original Song For "A View To A Kill". The Song Was The Last Track That The Original Five Members Of Duran Duran Recorded Together Until Their Reunion Sixteen Years Later In 2001. It Was Played At Their Final 1985 Performance Together At Live Aid In Philadelphia. The Song Was Written By Duran Duran And John Barry And Recorded At Maison Rouge Studio And CTS Studio In London With A 60-Piece Orchestra. Duran Duran Was Chosen To Do The Song After Bassist John Taylor A Lifelong Bond Fan Approached Producer Cubby Broccoli At A Party And Somewhat Drunkenly Asked "When Are You Going To Get Someone Decent To Do One Of Your Theme Songs?" This Inauspicious Beginning Led To Some Serious Talks And The Band Was Introduced To Bond Composer John Barry And Also Jonathan Elias Whom Duran Duran Members Would Later Work With Many Times . An Early Writing Meeting At Taylor's Flat In Knightsbridge Led To Everyone Getting Drunk Instead Of Composing. Singer Simon Le Bon Said Of Barry "He Didn't Really Come Up With Any Of The Basic Musical Ideas. He Heard What We Came Up With And He Put Them Into An Order. And That's Why It Happened So Quickly Because He Was Able To Separate The Good Ideas From The Bad Ones And He Arranged Them. He Has A Great Way Of Working Brilliant Chord Arrangements. He Was Working With Us As Virtually A Sixth Member Of The Group But Not Really Getting On Our Backs At All." The Song Was Finally Completed In April And Was Released Worldwide In May. The Song Was Accompanied By A Tongue-In-Cheek Video Filmed In June. It Was Directed By The Duo Godley & Creme Who Had Also Directed Their 1981 Video For "Girls On Film" . The Video Cast The Band Members As Spies And Assassins Scampering All Over The Eiffel Tower In A Rather Tangled Thicket Of Half-Sketched Storylines. Band Members Execute Many Actions Roger Taylor Sends Out His Probe Cameras From Inside His Mobile HQ To Lurk Across The Eiffel Tower Nick Rhodes Takes Pictures With His Spy Cam John Taylor Gives A "helping Hand" To James Bond Roger Moore By Shooting At May Day Grace Jones With His Hidden Binnoculars-Camouflaged Gun While Andy Taylor Directs His Sonic Accordion Attacks Upon Nick As Simon Le Bon Wanders About Using A Portable Cassette Player To Set Off A Series Of Explosions Elsewhere In The World. These Shots Are Intercut With Scenes From The A View To A Kill Film Including Those Featuring Roger Moore And Grace Jones On The Eiffel Tower So That It Appears The Actors And The Band Are Participating In The Same Storyline. At The End Of The Video A Woman Approaches Le Bon Asking Him "Excuse Me! And You?" Then He Finishes With A Spoof Of Bond's Signature Introduction Smarmily Introducing Himself As "Bon. Simon Le Bon." After Saying This He Looks At His Fake Cassette Player To See That Eiffel Tower Was About To Explode. Instead Of The Entire Tower Collapsing A Postcard Showing A View Of Eiffel Tower That Is Being Sold At A Tourist Stand On The Ground Floor Explodes As A Gunbarrel Closes To End The Video. The B-Side Was An Instrumental Piece Orchestrated By John Barry Titled A View To A Kill That Fatal Kiss . In Addition BBC Radio 1 In The UK Played One Extended Version Of The Track Which Included The Well-Known "I Expect You To Die" Quote From Goldfinger As A One-Off Promotion Around The Time The Single Was Released. An Unofficial DJ Service Remix Called "A View To A Kill Art Of Mix " Has Appeared On Various DJ And Bootleg Compilations. There Is Also A Fan-Made Remix Which Combines The Whole Duran Duran's Version With Some Sampled Scores From Its Film And An Orchestral Score Completely Based Upon That Of The Band's. This Remix Was Named "A View To A Kill Saint Ken Extended Remix ". Cover Versions Have Been Recorded By Popular Welsh Band Lostprophets Canadian Punk Band Gob And Australian Band Custard. In 2006 The Chilean Band Los MOX! Recorded A New And Heavier Version Of The Song For Their Album Titled "... Con Cover" Another Cover Version Of The Song Was Created In 1985 By A Euro Disco Group Called DJ's Factory. This Cover Of A View To A Kill Has A More Disco/house Sound As Compared To That Of Duran Duran's. Shirley Bassey Covered The Song As She Did With All Of The Bond Songs Up To GoldenEye For An Album- However She Wasn't Satisfied With The Quality So The Album Was Never Released. Finnish Melodic Death Metal Band Diablo Has Covered The Song So Has Finnish Symphonic Metal Cover Supergroup Northern Kings. In 2008 The Song Was Covered With A Bossa Feeling By Former Morcheeba Singer Skye On The Cover Album Hollywood Mon Amour.

"A View to a Kill" is the thirteenth single by rock band Duran Duran, released in May 1985.
It was a stand-alone single, created for the movie, and it remains the only James Bond theme song to have reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100; it also made it to #2 for 3 weeks on the UK Singles Chart, held off the top spot by "19" by Paul Hardcastle. In 1986, John Barry and Duran Duran were nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for "A View to a Kill".
The song was the last track that the original five members of Duran Duran recorded together until their reunion sixteen years later, in 2001. It was played at their final 1985 performance together, at Live Aid in Philadelphia.
The song was written by Duran Duran and John Barry, and recorded at Maison Rouge Studio and CTS Studio in London with a 60-piece orchestra.
Duran Duran was chosen to do the song after bassist John Taylor (a lifelong Bond fan) approached producer Cubby Broccoli at a party, and somewhat drunkenly asked "When are you going to get someone decent to do one of your theme songs?" This inauspicious beginning led to some serious talks, and the band was introduced to Bond composer John Barry, and also Jonathan Elias (whom Duran Duran members would later work with many times). An early writing meeting at Taylor's flat in Knightsbridge led to everyone getting drunk instead of composing.
Singer Simon Le Bon said of Barry: "He didn't really come up with any of the basic musical ideas. He heard what we came up with and he put them into an order. And that's why it happened so quickly because he was able to separate the good ideas from the bad ones, and he arranged them. He has a great way of working brilliant chord arrangements. He was working with us as virtually a sixth member of the group, but not really getting on our backs at all."
The song was finally completed in April, and was released worldwide in May.
The song was accompanied by a tongue-in-cheek video filmed in June. It was directed by the duo Godley & Creme (who had also directed their 1981 video for "Girls on Film"). The video cast the band members as spies and assassins scampering all over the Eiffel Tower, in a rather tangled thicket of half-sketched storylines. Band members execute many actions: Roger Taylor sends out his probe cameras from inside his mobile HQ to lurk across the Eiffel Tower, Nick Rhodes takes pictures with his spy cam, John Taylor gives a "helping hand" to James Bond (Roger Moore) by shooting at May Day (Grace Jones) with his hidden binnoculars-camouflaged gun while Andy Taylor directs his sonic accordion attacks upon Nick as Simon Le Bon wanders about, using a portable cassette player to set off a series of explosions elsewhere in the world. These shots are intercut with scenes from the A View to a Kill film, including those featuring Roger Moore and Grace Jones on the Eiffel Tower, so that it appears the actors and the band are participating in the same storyline.
At the end of the video, a woman approaches Le Bon asking him "Excuse me! And you?", then he finishes with a spoof of Bond's signature introduction, smarmily introducing himself as "Bon. Simon Le Bon." After saying this, he looks at his fake cassette player to see that Eiffel Tower was about to explode. Instead of the entire tower collapsing, a postcard, showing a view of Eiffel Tower, that is being sold at a tourist stand on the ground floor explodes as a gunbarrel closes to end the video.
The b-side was an instrumental piece orchestrated by John Barry, titled A View to a Kill (That Fatal Kiss).
In addition BBC Radio 1 (in the UK) played one extended version of the track which included the well-known "I expect you to die" quote from Goldfinger as a one-off promotion around the time the single was released. An unofficial DJ Service remix called "A View to a kill (Art of Mix)" has appeared on various DJ and bootleg compilations.
There is also a fan-made remix which combines the whole Duran Duran's version with some sampled scores from its film and an orchestral score completely based upon that of the band's. This remix was named "A View To A Kill (Saint Ken Extended Remix)".
Cover versions have been recorded by popular Welsh band Lostprophets, Canadian punk band Gob, and Australian band Custard. In 2006 the Chilean band Los MOX! recorded a new and heavier version of the song for their album titled "... con cover" Another cover version of the song was created in 1985 by a euro disco group called DJ's Factory. This cover of A View to a Kill has a more disco/house sound as compared to that of Duran Duran's. Shirley Bassey covered the song, as she did with all of the Bond songs (up to GoldenEye) for an album- however, she wasn't satisfied with the quality, so the album was never released. Finnish Melodic Death Metal band Diablo has covered the song, so has Finnish symphonic metal cover supergroup Northern Kings. In 2008, the song was covered with a bossa feeling by former Morcheeba singer Skye on the cover album Hollywood Mon Amour. Read more on Last.fm.
