this version IS the 80s version - it was the "remix" in 1993 that was publicly hated and therefore shortlived that had the tacky synth sounds and the awful saxophone and the unnecessary key change. They then restored the original version which plays (in a shortened version) ever since.
there was a period in the early to mid 90s when all the soaps were "updating" their themes
henrig17 is correct, this isn't the 80's version, its a slightly updated rerecorded version, to replace the hated jazzy one, but its not the original. the 80's/early 90's one has much higher bell sounds and a more 'raw' 80's' sound and this is quite obvious when you listen to them both.
awesome---my girly loves this show

Is this the one where Tiffany died? Or when Bianca and Ricky had a fight (again). Phil smacked Grant. Those were the days.
