When we discuss the Bond franchise, we have to include the music. An integral part of the film franchise and the legacy. For every title brought to the screen the production company and distribution company wanted a title song-meaning a song with the title of the film within the lyrics. And there have been few exceptions to that. **See below. A View to a Kill 1985 (Duran Duran), MTV video- Duran Duran — A View To A Kill — YouTube
