Can't help ID, but man what a nice track

This sounds like an 80's TV show theme melody. or a 80's movie theme song. I heard that melody before. its an old electronic song. man its so familiar. Ill find it soon.

Where is this tune orignally copied from. This is an old 80's song, but which melody is it from? I know it, its in the back of my mind. I heard this along time ago. Its a movie theme, or a TV show theme. man o man, what is it?

yeah, it definitely is Miikka & Jussi - Highway Patrol, but it sounds like a remix?!
I don't remember that "second melody" (well, not really), resp. I remember it different, u can hear it especially at the end of the sample. the rest is pretty much the same. any ideas?

Spook, and for those of you wondering why the sample I included has a different sound than the vinyl version, I emailed Miikka and he was kind enough to email me back with an explanation. Here is his response when I asked him about why the sample and vinyl version had differences:

Hi!

There are four different versions of Highway Patrol.. As you noticed the version you heard has only a slight changes on a synth-melody, but it's basicly a same tune.

Version you heard is final version, but because label didn't find it as good as previous version, it never ended up in the vinyl.

Cheers,
Miikka Leinonen

So there you have it. I personally like the version in the sample better than the final vinyl version.

ah, so no remix, just an edit that didnt make it :/
well, i guess i'm more used to the known vinyl version anyway (and like it more) - just sounded different
