halo music sped up to sound like the miami vice theme!

its actually kind of funny to listen to

[MrMelchorgacuma1]

i never missed a series with miami vice i even got influenced with the fahion during the 80s, luv it! luv it! luv it!

[eineeuqe]

freeze....MIAMI VICE!

[molarmama5]

Brilliant series, the BEST on TV; until Gregory Sierra was killed!

[muffinmwellie]

i never really realized how close the Vice City theme was made to this song.

[Domestibot]

okay, somehow THIS song was number one on the top 40 the week I was born.

[BenjaminFranklin99]

@JESUSCANSAVE100

Civilized religions do not take pleasure in the torture and death of their teachers.

[molarmama5]

@BenjaminFranklin99

What does this have to do with Jan's music? I am dying to know?

[leaiplussize]

best tv theme song of all time. Everytime this song played before the show I would get up and just dance to when the show was on the air, still makes me move to this day. Best show on tv ever!!!

[TheEsquire212]

Why did this theme song sound like a rip off of a Prince song? This was my show back then.

[Mosh213]

Simpsons!

[molarmama5]

PMT, you are so fine and beautiful! Damned great actor!

[MrDAFRESHBOY]

did anyone else thought of grand theft auto vice city?

[Slotten68]

@MrDAFRESHBOY I think the Vice City theme song was inspired almost entirely from this...Now that I think about it, it seems the entire game was essentially Miami Vice but just the other side of the law (with elements of other 80's cliches)

[MrDAFRESHBOY]

@Slotten68 that's what i thought too, too bad that the ps2 game for miami vice sucked, while gta vice city kicked it...

[SpaseCubeLtd]

@MrDAFRESHBOY I actually played this during a few of the missions :3

[cleopatraXIII]

@MrDAFRESHBOY I LOVED that game!!!

[molarmama5]

This was the original!!!!! The BEST!!!!!!

[vyonizr]

deadmau5 just got this song stuck in his head.

[MarischaLInto809]

P.S. It could have been '94 but, I think more likely between '92 to '93.

[MarischaLInto809]

Karma. In the end, ya don't get away with it. In 92' or '93 I worked with a Chef couple. The male chef was primarily a musician / songwriter. Like mentioning a sister who'd gotten killed in a wreck 10 years earlier, he & his wife Matter of Factly Said he had written this tune and sent a Demo-Tape to Jan Hammer -who stole it -and used it for this show. True or not, that's what he Said. If anyone wants to check into it, it was in the 'Rustic Hills Country Club' in Medina, Ohio.

[jnieves77]

So this is where Grand Theft Auto Vice City get there idea for the opening soundtrack

[mbenzsl2000]

@jnieves77 this and scarface heavily influenced the design of that game....and what a kick ass game it was :)

[Slotten68]

@jnieves77 yep, just an alternate version

[CrankyPills]

alternate version:

watch?v=48GX5yFlCXg

[chefofjesus70]

you know in my teen i loved this show and now is 16 years that i live here move from Italy to La and then here

[cruisebumify]

I sure like this music. It's too bad it's too short!

[MrTrackfreek]

BOOK EM DANO

[btraker]

@MrTrackfreek wrong show, yo. Go try Hawaii 5-0.

[MrTrackfreek]

@btraker NO JUST ANOTHER SHOW ASSHOLE.

[Gianciabatta]

Thanks for all the rates and comments my friends!

[TheKimberBenton]

This is the most recent instrumental song to reach #1 in the US. It is also the first and (so far) only original version of an instrumental theme for television to top the Billboard Hot 100.

This won 1985 Grammy Awards for Best Pop Instrumental Performance and Best Instrumental Composition for Jan Hammer.

The Miami Vice soundtrack topped the US album chart for 11 weeks in 1985, making it the most successful TV soundtrack of all time.

[nick1979usmc]

COKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aSess1No]

COCA MUSIC  ;)

[TheBigManM]

DA BEST TV THEME OF DA 80'S

[jironmeister]

It´s a shame to read comparation between an videogame and one of the best TV shows of all times.

[tina3038]

Damn i just had a Tommy Vercetti flash back !

[tina3038]

Damn i just had a Tommy Vicetti flash back !

[mollendinousa]

GTA Vice City = Miami Vice. Great game and great serie

[thecoolestdad]

You never knew where they were filming in and around Miami.I was there in 1988 and a buddy and I was hanging out on Collins Blvd and we saw a bunch of trucks parked on a side street.We hung out there and found out that they were filming inside a bldg there.We waited outside for a while and then Don Johnson walked out from inside and I snapped a couple of pics of him after I hollered at him.he turned and waved.We also watched a scene filmed that night in an alley.Mirror Image is episode.

[nativemrv19722]

Makes me want to put on my white suit are my black one.?! Lol.

[TheHasanMurat]

Its dangerous to pay a visit in Miami right now....Tony Vercetti runs the city.

[KingCitaldo125]

Miami Vice always reminds me of GTA Vice City

[iWearLacoste]

@KingCitaldo125 Lol it's the other way around for me.

[Agentsub]

@KingCitaldo125 Flip the script on that. It should be GTA Vice City should remind you of Miami Vice.

[KingCitaldo125]

@Agentsub Sorry I never really got into the show, only because of my dad watching 80's TV

[buick906]

@KingCitaldo125 the game takes place in miami in the 80s

[tlcampbell]

@KingCitaldo125 That's backwards - GTA Vice City is supposed to remind you of Miami Vice, though both the game and the show are AWESOME, so hard to say one is better.

[geforce5700fx]

C L A S S I C

[JAHZILLABEATS]

Love this!!!

[AncientHistoryBuff]

is this a good series? I'm hearing this theme for the second time in my life, and it ROCKS).

[rambocivilairpatrol]

@AncientHistoryBuff lol duh!!! it was the best rated T.V show in the 80's! go to hulu and watch it!

[Gianciabatta]

@AncientHistoryBuff Yes, the best tv series of all time!

[allie001]

@Gianciabatta Second only to Airwolf heheheheh

I will say it was and still is the best police drama ever. MV influenced music, architechture and fashion

[ReneeNme]

@allie001 Best police drama ever ? Um, Hill Street Blues ??? S.W.A.T. ??? Kojak ??? Baretta ???

[molarmama5]

@ReneeNme They sucked cheese and ham!

[757GLG]

@ReneeNme

(LOL) I'm not sure if you're joking or not. I did watch and like the shows you mentioned, along with a bunch of others. But NONE of those came close to the groundbreaking feel, sound, and style of Miami Vice. I saw the 2-hour debut before it aired nationally at an NBC affiliate T.V. station I worked at many years ago. I was blown away! It was the first T.V. crime series that had the feel of a theater movie. It's still my fav. BTW, if you haven't seen it, NBC's Prime Suspect rocks!.

[molarmama5]

@757GLG I was told at the time that Mann and Yerkovich, wanted it to be a film-----a

theatrical release, however it became a TV series. His "Last of the MOHICANS" is brilliant.

[molarmama5]

@Gianciabatta Better than Star Trek!

[buick906]

@Gianciabatta i love miami vice

[tlcampbell]

@Gianciabatta I would modify that to say Seasons 1-3 are the best tv of all time.

[tenchimasake]

@AncientHistoryBuff Of all the cop shows, it's definitely the COOLEST. Not necessarily the most realistic or anything like that, but it's the most action-packed, and the most innovative with its use of music. Look up the list of artists whose music was featured on the show (on Wikipedia), it's awesome. :D

[PRLIBRENOWMAGNUS]

@AncientHistoryBuff you can rented and see it for your self is in many videos in the section of tv series 

[berbamagic]

@AncientHistoryBuff great series, addicted to it.

[MrWiii]

@AncientHistoryBuff dude, series like this will never be made again, if you havent seen it, you aren't born then.. it has so many other breath taking themes.... so much that you cant even imagine... BEST THING EVER!

[AncientHistoryBuff]

@MrWiii, I was born in 1986.

[MrWiii]

@AncientHistoryBuff lol and I in 85 ;) .. do watch MV , its worth it..

[MrCrispian]

@AncientHistoryBuff Auful series.

[MrCrispian]

@AncientHistoryBuff....it was an  Auful series.

[Nitehawk770]

@AncientHistoryBuff most influential TV series in recent memory, shaped how most cop shows today are. Watch it and bask in the glory of the 80's

[wvd1979]

@AncientHistoryBuff It's a GREAT series. But my advice would be to watch Seasons 1-3 in their entirety, only watch the last episode of season 4, and then the first and last episodes of Season 5. You'll thank me later.

[molarmama5]

@AncientHistoryBuff

Only until Gregory Sierra is murdered. The first Five episodes, I think. It was to originally

be a film-----> TV Show.

[molarmama5]

@AncientHistoryBuff The series was perfect until the death of Gregory Sierra's character.

[molarmama5]

@AncientHistoryBuff The initial episodes with Gregory Sierra were EXCELLENT! They were to be a theatrical release. Trust me on this, as I grew up on this series.

[savvystevedotcom]

@AncientHistoryBuff I was born in 80 and my dad was a cop and we watched this show every time it came on. It was huge in its day. I even bought the entire series on DVD as a gift to my dad a few years ago. It had cutting edge music, hot cars and hot women.

[pohuuns]

@AncientHistoryBuff man.... the REAL awsomeness starts after the theme song... if i were you i'd start to warch Miami Vice NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

[RedFlagCoalition]

@AncientHistoryBuff you are missing out. go find yourself some episodes on kat.ph

[DaveWollenberg]

Jan hit #1 in Billboard, 11-9-85. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great weekend!

[943kline]

IMO this is the best version of this song.

[rowdy8888]

[1982Moonbird]

@hbc7908 while you're out, can you tell me where I left the keys to my Delorean and my gram of coke?

[moonbean15a]

@hbc7908 dream on

[hbc7908]

@hbc7908 I posted that comment 5 months ago, went out on the town that night and I just arrived home this morning - that was a helluva night out...those Miss Venezuelas are racy, yet impulsive...like the throttle of my LP 560-4

[2469gemini]

Reminds me of my Blue (Don Johnson) and yellow (don't remember his name) jackets with white pants and Capezio shoes that I have somewhere in my basement. Watched this Friday nights here in NY!!! MEMORIES. Thanks for posting it!!

[Pmccaff2009]

Now I know what people mean when they said GTA Vice City was basically the exact same as this.

[FWW7450]

What a Kick ass show that was. I really enjoyed it.

[Skumnation]

heh it does sound like Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja ripped this off almost exactly, but its still cool to hear either way

[80s90sRealBasketball]

@Skumnation oh yeah it sure does bro...and ya damn right it's still cool to hear..that's why i love it so much....LOL

[80s90sRealBasketball]

sounds like level one of the arcade version of "Bad Dudes" but i heard that Data East ripped off the music to this theme...

[karimrachdi]

4 people are on Calderone's payroll :-)

[CCSLASH1]

My 9 yr old LOVES THIS!!!!!!! Had to tell him that when I was younger than him, MIAMI VICE was my favorite show!!! God I miss the 80's!!!

[RobRobertTheMusicMan]

I wonder If every potential cop going to the Police Academy had this music in their head while working out and going through the physical training courses. Because If It was me I probably would. It would not be a surprise so I'm probably just wasting my time typing this........yep.

[CaliforniaSun1000]

Tom hosted Body Language and The Nighttime Price is Right for syndication and Uncle Bill was still hosting The Joker's Wild
