The song "Miami Vice Theme" aired in September 1984 created by Jan Hammer. It peaked at the number 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. In 1986, it won Grammy Awards for "Best Instrumental Composition" and "Best Pop Instrumental Performance"

There are at least 3 different versions:

1. The original version that aired with the pilot episode, that only contains the percussion and keyboards, without the guitars.
2. The newer version aired the next season.
3. The full radio airplay version, that includes the tv version at the end.

It is also nostalgically remembered as the song played during the first few three-point competitions at the NBA All-Star weekend, including the one in 1986 where Larry Bird famously walked into the locker room and told all his competitors they were playing for second place.
