The synth, the drums... awesome time to be alive.

Haters gonna hate but no other decade of music can hold a candle to the 80s

I have no idea why, but somehow that windsurfer dipping her hair into the ocean at the 13 second mark is the sexiest move in the world. Long live the 1980's.

Everything About Miami Vice Is Frickin Marvellous. The Theme Song.. The Series.. The Fashion..Absolute Timeless Classic

Badass Miami Vice intro music way ahead of its time. 80's was really something.

Miami Vice is the greatest tv show ever. I remember as a kid, I was glued to my tv on Friday nights watching my favorite Icon Don Johnson. It was surreal. Those were the best of times. I miss the 80s so much. I wish I could go back in time.

Friday nights on NBC! Man, if you were not around back then, you missed more than words can express!

When the intro to the tv show was so good, you never got tired of it even though you saw and heard it every week

Really, this is the best theme song ever made...timeless!!!

I turned 60 this month and other than the occasional other decade songs I have found i like, nothing compares to the 80's living. So great to still be alive and enjoy all of the songs even the not so well known.

The synth music, his clean, classy look and the Bren Ten makes it the best ' 80s tv show.

It’s all about the drums that is how this song always had me hooked…. I really miss the 80’s. I don’t think we realized just how good we had it. I feel homesick.

This still gives me goosebumps today whenever I listen to the opening theme.

In my opinion Miami Vice is number one in any cops tv shows of all time.

I Used To Listen to this song over and over again. This Song Rocks. I'm Still Listening in December 2022.

The 80's was the best decade!!!!!

Jan Hammer is a true music high priest. Gotta be one of greatest most insightful tv theme songs ever constructed.

the best damn synthesizers' sound ever! Oh, and the most kickass intro to any TV show ever as well...needless to say, Miami Vice still holds the crown as the best cop show ever

JAN HAMMERS' MIAMI VICE Theme was 1 of tv's best opening tracks. Ever. The song also charted 😍 pretty well on the BILLBOARD charts!

One of the greatest TV opening themes!! A real kick ass show. One of the best crime shows of all time.

i remember making a deal with my parents that if i did all my homework without any fuss, i could stay up to watch Miami Vice!

Miami Vice and The Equalizer is what I remember of the 80's. And they had awesome theme tunes.

SO AWESOME!!! I Miss the 80's so much, simpler happier times!

I was 18 years old in 1980, OMFG what a time to be ALIVE, thank you God Almighty!!!

man I loved this show watched it as a kid

Fantastic theme music - full of energy, excitement - I see myself sitting in a red Ferrari driving around the peninsular of some hot foreign country with my hair blowing in the wind - I wish!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite show. I loved living down in Homestead in 1991-1992 stationed at Homestead Air Force Base. Enjoyed cruising the strip in downtown Miami and Coconut Grove.

"Ten thousand street corners in Greater Miami, and 'Gumby' has to pick ours!"

Best dressed cops ever! :D

I think it is hilarious that Philip Michael Thomas is the voice of Lance Vance in GTA Vice City...love it!!

80’s music is the best decade for music and music videos.

There are times an intro to a show just clicks every box on the sheet. MV had its program video intro to the theme of the show and then that absolutely awesome intro starts up and the intro video kicks in. Whoever designed this did the best of any show ever. It totally kicks musically, the video scenes of Tropical South Florida are spot on (especially if you've been there) and it all comes together in an otherworldly dream. The show was an artform of reality rarely found on TV. When you watched, YOU WERE THERE! Jan Hammer was the BEST frosting on the entire cake.

80s was the best fvckin decade for music and movies!

The best and coolest cop show of the 80's. My dad and I use to watch it together. RIP daddy!!

Possibly the best TV show, but definitely the best theme song ever.

Better than the original ... thanks for leaving the Tig Bitties in the sequence. Watching +30 year old Don Johnson rolling on the floor was also a plus. Spray and pray sequences that injure the shoulder also rock the 80s. Thanks for the extended synth play. Thumbs up.

The golden era for music, television and movies. The concept, theme, action, story and dialogues, everything was just the best....

I bought this on vinyl when it first came out and still love the Theme to this day .

Just simply love this beat man! Even till today!

Best dang cop show of the 1980's hands down no other will ever be as good

Yes! Friday nights were great!

Best 80 s intro ever fact

One of the anthems of 80s . All my childhood memories !!!

Respect, this was the theme when i had to go to bed but keep watching on the stairs

The best thing about this show. This theme rocked!

The two sexiest fictional cops ever.

Guns, cars and girls. What more could you want?

Don't get much better than this!!!

Greatest show of the 80's! Great theme and lots of beautiful scenery.

The 80s. The best decade ever.

The 80’s 🤘🏼

I remember at the the age of 9 after never missing this intro (especially at the 0:15) and the sound of the music I was gonna go to Miami when I grew up and nothing else mattered 😄

Love that delightfully 80s sound.

One of the best tv series themes!!! LOVE IT!

My sister and I could not wait to watch this every Friday night in the 80s !

Miami Vice was the defining show of the 1980s, imho. This TV show had it all: beautiful people, fashion, action, drama, iconic musical theme. What more could you ask for in a TV series?

I can't get enough of the theme music or this video... love it!

Beginning of a new Decade of TV Series and Style.

Miami Vice was like the Nirvana of the 1980's. It changed everything.

My dad and I took a trip to Miami last month, I convinced him to let me go cruising around in his car and I had this song blaring while I was driving around.

OH MY God! I just Loveeeeeeee This Soundtrack!

Jan hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 11/9/85. Thanks for posting it! :)

Good job my favorite opening theme love this show it still best ever thank you 80s always.

When I watch Miami Vice reruns or hear the theme music! I feel like quitting my shitty job, telling my boss to take a flying F! Sell my home, cash in 401K, tell my old lady to get lost & move to Miami Beach, buy a Armani Suit, cool shoes to match & a white Testarossa to drive on Ocean Drive day & night & live happily ever after!!!!!!

Oh man...the memories! I once dressed up as Crockett for Halloween in grade school. I probably should not have been watching this in grade school, but man. Still one of my favorite 80s shows and the music as a whole was bad-ass, not just the theme song.

Originally, James "Sonny" Crockett was to use a Browning BDA .45 ACP. He also carries a Detonics Pocket 9 chambered in 9mm Parabellum as a backup, tucked in his rear waistband near the small of his back. Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs was armed with a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun in the first season. In Season 2, he used an Ithaca 37 sawed-off pump shotgun called an Ithaca Stakeout, which he carried on a halter under his jacket. Beginning in Season 3 (and for the remainder of the show), he carried a modified, short-barreled Remington 870. As a backup, he carried a Smith & Wesson Model 38 Bodyguard with Pachmayr grips. He can also be seen using a SIG P228 in the series finale 'Freefall' and a Smith & Wesson Model 36 in the pilot episode.

You don't need words for this one!!

I lived in S Florida in the 80s great times ❤

80's were the best years! There will never be another Miami Vice or rock n roll bands who actually sang lyrics with meaning inlike today's youth who think rap is the norm.

Great theme song and one of the best.

"How 80s do you want this to be??" *producer snorts a line* "I'm sorry, did you say something??"

I love the theme song from the TV show of MIAMI VICE! I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE THE TV SHOW EITHER. IT WAS ON TOO LATE! BUT THE THEME SONG OF MIAMI VICE!!!!!! I LIKED DON JOHNSON!!!!

30 Some odds years Later. The Starting Credits of Miami Vice. Never Grows old

Damn I love the opening and closing hooks, purely perfect makes me feel like i am sipping a cold one on south beach

When you heard this or the Airwolf theme, you knew it was going down.

Best time to live through! No cookie cutter sounds! What can I say we rocked!

The music for this show is perfect for the 1980's.

Miami vice & Dallas was the 2 greatest tv shows of the 80s back when life was so simple great memories

It's craz' how much I loved that show then, and finally still do jist as much some 35 y later.

I was a Senior in 1986 and Miami Vice tshirts & sweatshirts were HOT items back then! 80s 4 ever!!

This song plays in my head every time I use speedboat in a computer game.

Love this song it still rocks

The 80 as far as tv, music and movies...untouchable...this is when cool was truly was cool!

The intro was hypnotic. Once you heard, you had to watch the whole show. Crockett and Tubbs were the coolest guys on tv.

For the kids who weren't around then... Stereo tv wasn't even a thing when this show started.... stereo tv started a year later. So..... this theme was AMAZING back then to hear in stereo on your tv for the first time back in the mid 80s!! I wasn't a big Miami Vice fan..... but always tried to watch the opening to hear / see this in awesome stereo sound!! LMAO

One of the most watched shows back in the day. Thanks for posting!

I was age 14-18 from 1984-88...Miami Vice was the most talked about TV show so awesome!

"Freeze! Miami Vice!" Brilliantly constructed video, top man. I hadn't noticed before that the characters had names that should belong to middleweight boxers.

wow what a powerful tune

This still sounds as fresh as the day it came out..it does not sound dated at all..you could get young people to listen to it for their first time and im sure they would think its awesome..

This is so cool!!! This was number 1 in November 1985!!!

Those of us who watched this series in the 80's know that it was the best police series of all time, how I miss that decade!

No tv show intro past or since has been as cool as this one is.

EXCELENTE SOUNDTRACK

Miami vice v Beverly hills cop. 80,s cop shows and movies. Wow.

Love this show. When I was young, my family visited Miami a lot! Never imagined this side of it. Thanks for sharing.

Los 80 nunca te olvidare grandes peliculas q guardo en mi corazon y sigo viendo..

Cool vid, and thanks for sharing this version of the theme song, it mixes the best of the actual show intro music with the extended album version!

There is nothing like the 80's!!!! I had the best time of my life!!!! This show was excellent!!!! The Cars, The clothes, The bad ass boats, The bad ass Music!!!! From the Motor City, where we know Cars and Great Music!!!!! 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️ ❤.....
