Subject: Police Academy Song
Written By: Jed M on 06/12/04 at 9:31 pm
OK, this is probably one of the weirder requests but my friend and I were walking through the grocery store and they started playing the popular 80's horn/percussion song that seems to have been featured in numerous movies with the most prominent being Police Academy. Neither of us could think of its name except "that song from Police Academy". Now its driving me crazy since google and yahoo are not helping in the slightest. If anybody has any clue what I am talking about I would really appreciate the information for my sanity. If it helps any, I believe the song was played towards the end when Mahoney and crew were driving to the final confrontation, but I'm not sure since I have not seen Police Academy in about 15 years. All I can say for sure is that it was a relatively big hit and it's hook is the saxophone (which makes it hard to decipher the name).
Any help would be much appreciated.

Is maybe the song you're looking for one of these...

My guess would be "Crazy Chris" by Dave Brubeck.
;) ???

It's "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty. God that was killing me, amazing solo. Now the answer will show up for the next poor soul.

Is "Baker Street" even in Police Academy? I don't recall hearing it. The song that always sticks out for me (other than the main theme) is "El Bimbo", the song from the The Blue Oyster Bar. It's mostly horns and drums; check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJVMCTA_Az4
Note: The link starts with the Police Academy theme music, but after about 30 seconds it will switch over to "El Bimbo"

That is the one that I always think of. It was used in other Police Academy movies everytime the Blue Oyster came into play LOL
The one where a naked Proctor accidentally walks into it springs to mind ;D

Wow, you don't understand how long it took me to find who made this song! Many thanks!
