I'll tell you another thing in Dalton's favor "The Living Daylights" by Aha is an amazing song and the best theme of all the Bonds, fight me bros.
One of my favorite old memes from the early 2000s had a quote from that song, but deliberately misattributed.
"Set your hopes up way too high, living's in the way we die."
~ Lee Iacoca
Never since have I laughed so hard.
Dude; I love the theme! Very few people rate it all that highly and it's one of my favorites. It's another thing that I didn't appreciate on the first watch. The reason I didn't appreciate it is because the movie I watched right before it was "A view to a kill" and that theme is so poppy and upbeat. So Living Daylights sounds like a "downer" in comparison, but I now place it as one of the best.
License to Kill is also a great theme. The movie version of LtK is far superior to the studio released version. It's weird because Gladys Knight released the song as a single, but it differs than the movie, and not in a good way. When you knock it out of the park for the movie, why release a different version? Most people looking up "License to Kill Gladys Knight" are going to click on and listen to an inferior version not knowing it's not the movie version that is way better.
