"To Live and Die in L.A."

Wikipedia entry:

"To Live and Die in L.A." is a single from the soundtrack of the same name by Wang Chung. Released in September 1985, the song rose quickly up the Billboard Hot 100, until it hit its climax at #41.

On the To Live and Die in L.A. DVD audio commentary, director William Friedkin stated to Wang Chung that he “didn’t want a theme song for To Live and Die in L.A.” One day, though, Jack Hues & Nick Feldman gave Friedkin a copy of "To Live and Die in L.A." (to his dismay). Surprisingly, Friedkin was impressed and decided to keep the song as part of the movie and the soundtrack.
