Artist: Harold Faltermeyer
Video: When I see this, it's impossible not to think of this.
This is the only instrumental song on the countdown. It is also the second of three songs from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack.
"Axel F" refers to the character played by Eddie Murphy, Axel Foley. The song reached #3 in the Billboard Hot 100. The main synthesizer riff is unmistakable, absolutely screaming 80's.
Harold Faltermeyer composed music for several other classic 80’s movies, including Top Gun, Fletch, The Running Man, and Tango & Cash. But he is most famous for this song.
In 2005, the band Crazy Frog remixed “Axel F” and reached #1 in over 10 different countries.
The video contains some Beverly Hills Cop scenes, but focuses most prominently on a secretive man sneaking around, watching footage in a dimly lit office. I don't understand the video. Is this man Faltermeyer?
I am stumped. Give me Peter Griffin any day.
