Short version- At a party Duran Duran bass player John Taylor asked Cubby about his band doing the song for this film, and Cubby put them in touch with John Barry.
This credits sequence... so 80s in its aesthetic. Duran Duran were big Barry fans and sort of managed an okay synthesis of their style and his in the collaboration
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

Duran Duran was the group of the 80s that remain timeless.
This song is the only good thing about the titles.
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
This was Nic Raine’s first time as John Barry’s orchestrator. He continued in that role basically till Barry died and has recorded a lot of Barry and/or Bond music- often pieces or entire scores Barry himself never released.

I think Taylor asked why they don't hire a good band like Duran Duran anymore )
