One of my favorite instrumentals. Much better than the Crazy Frog version.

I only recently learned Faltermeyer did the Fletch theme too ... and I bought the 45 on eBay!

This song and Patti LaBelle's "New Attitude," also from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, were issued together as a 12" single.

Alright track. Methinks there's a slight Yazoo - Situation influence in it, but that's not a bad thing either.

I feel that this song pretty much defines the 80s era. So iconic! Can't talk about the 80s without mentioning this one!

One of the best 80s instrumental tracks. I liked the Beverly Hills Cop movies when I was younger and that theme song is iconic. The Latin Rascals (known for their work with Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam) did a remix which is a nice alternative to the original. That Crazy Frog cover from 2005 is beyond horrible and is something that shouldn't exist. music video www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qx2gvHjNhQ0Latin Rascals remix www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3ulN_jwTgw |

Can't talk about the 80s without this track. This totally defines 80s pop culture within itself!
