To this day, this is the only Bond song that had a #1 placement on the Billboard Hot 100 and a Golden Globe nomination for best song. There was doubt if Duran Duran had what it took to make a song for a Bond movie, to everyone's surprise as well as the test of time, this song made a long lasting history. In the history of James Bond movies, a perfect song has to be crafted to match it while making a modern mark. Speaking of James Bond, it's almost criminal that this song has fallen into obscurity. It's catchy, it's sketchy, it belongs on your music library. Listening to this song, it feels that we are being placed in a trap and no matter where we turn, that snake is coming up. Comparing this oncoming threat to the way of the silent kill from a snake. The comparison to what could be the snake is universal to what you think the metaphorical snake is.Ī threat is on the rise and closing in.

Duran Duran is just one of those bands that is a requirement to listen to, how they have done songs with different contexts to stand out with unique tunes to vibe to. I found top ten lists of their songs to see what songs I missed. When I went to revisit the band after hearing A View To A Kill on the radio, I was re-introduced to the rest of the discography of Duran Duran. I never knew how versatile they were until I was older. My mom only bought the CD just for that one song and didn't really care for the other selection of songs so it went into the obscurity of our media cabinet. I remember listening to Come Undone as a child and I loved the song, I begged my mom to play it over and over in the car.
