The Living Daylights

"The Living Daylights" was from the Bond film of the same name. Unfortunately for a-ha, "The Living Daylights" was one of the least favorite 007 movies of Bond fans.

The Bond theme creator had some fairly harsh words about a-ha on a late-night interview in 1987. He found working with the band exhausting secondary to the band's insistence on using their own version of the song for release.

Ultimately, John Barry was listed on the credits, and the initial release of the song was his version. A second version later appeared on Stay On These Roads.

Paul claims that John Barry never contributed to the creative process, and should not have his name on the credits.

The video was shot in the Broccoli studio in London, designed specifically for the Bond movies.
