Wikipedia article
"'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 peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at #41.
'Cash Box' said that the song "melds its own synth dance fusion with a clear cut pop sensibility which is alluring and ultimately triumphant" and that it captures "the citys sense of 'loneliness within a maze of people.'"
On the 'To Live and Die in L.A.' DVD audio commentary, director William Friedkin stated to Wang Chung that he didnt want a theme song for 'To Live and Die in L.A.' One day, though, Jack Hues and 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 film and soundtrack.
