<P> The title song of the film , `` The Living Daylights '' , was recorded by pop group A-ha . A-ha and Barry did not collaborate well , resulting in two versions of the theme song . Barry 's film mix is heard on the soundtrack and all three of a-ha's best - of compilations . The a-ha preferred mix can be heard on their 1988 album Stay on These Roads . However , in 2006 a-ha's Paul Waaktaar - Savoy complimented Barry 's contributions `` I loved the stuff he added to the track , I mean it gave it this really cool string arrangement . That 's when , for me , it started to sound like a Bond thing '' . The title song is one of very few 007 title songs that is not performed or written by a British or American performer in the history of the series . </P>
