'The Living Daylights' (1987) was the first James Bond film to feature a different song over the closing credits. It was called "If There Was a Man" and was performed by
The Pretenders who sang two songs for the movie, the other being "Where Has Everybody Gone?". The group were originally considered for the title song but, following the huge success of
Duran Duran's song "
A View to a Kill (1985)", it was decided to go with a "trendier" group.
Chrissie Hynde of the
The Pretenders also has sung a cover version of the Bond song "
Live and Let Die (1973)" which can be heard on the
David Arnold Bond song compilation album, "Shaken and Stirred: the
David Arnold James Bond Project".
