Icarus was a character in Greek mythology (many Bond films and characters in literature refer to characters in old stories such as this). Daedalus and Icarus tried to escape from somewhere by making wings from feathers and wax, but Icarus ignored his father's advice about not flying too close to the sun, so his wings melted and he died.

Comments: With one of the worst Bond films of the series comes one of Barry's worst scores. There is little energy or enthusiasm in Barry's arrangements and subsequently, as with "Diamonds are Forever," he falls into a rut. Some of the soundtrack's better pieces include the Thailand canal chase and the "Fun house" hunt, which demonstrate fresh writing on Barry's part. The title song by Lulu is relatively impressive, with a brash style and some of the best lyrics of the series.
