Christopher Cross - "Arthur's Theme" (#11 of 1981)

From the film "Arthur", this hit for Christopher Cross won the Academy Award in 1981 for Best Original Song. 

The original video was a performance of the song with scenes from the movie woven in.  I was unable to find it, so here is a rare video done for the Western Germany TV show "Bananas".  Very hokey special effects with a nearly comatose performance by Christopher Cross.  (Not that he's usually all that exciting of a performer.)

Sheena Easton - "For Your Eyes Only" (#4 of 1981)

"For You Eyes Only" by Sheena Easton used the opening title sequence of the movie for the "music video".  One of the best James Bond themes, the song made it to #4 on the Billboard chart.  (The only Bond theme to make it to #1 was Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill".)
