That HBO bit in the beginning of the video really took me back to the 80s!! Wow. Thank you!!

[@SusieSynth]

Man this was so rad!! Took me back to my kid days staying up late on weekends watching hbo lol

[@johnnytluxury]

The intro track. Electro Synth pop. Loving it, loved it, love it.

[@MikeLee1083]

Holy shit! Haven't seen this in 26 years. I was 4 or 5. Intro music so nostalgic.

[@urukele]

[@chroniclesofalivingdeadgirl]

Thanks for posting.

[@jjacksonjr51]

[@divagirl10]

wow. that intro was like a blast from the past to age 6 years old for me. Well, I don't think I wtched that show on that age .lol

[@michaelorick2065]

The was a great show

[@johnnytluxury]

@sorcerykid Remember the really long one, with the camera flying through the fake city, then up to the stars? I missed that so much. I used to jump around and dance to it like it was the jam when i was like 8-9 years old! HBO must've loved this so much, they made a "Making of.." short of the intro.

"When he comes to town, strange things happen"

[@81licker]

Oh my gosh..that IS the way they treated the elderly! Not a whole lot has changed unfortunately.

[@NewWaveFan1]

wow this is great. Epic.

[@lospown]

my grandpa used to watch this when i was a kid and the opening theme used to give me the creeps lol

[@Shane665]

@sorcerykid I know right? I was just thinking the same thing when it came on. Brings back so many memories.

[@Suedeheadlover]

It must be jelly 'cause jam don't shake like that.

[@johnnytluxury]

@Misteriosi81 Yes. Yes, it was. Watch the movie "Drive" for more music like it, the soundtrack reminded me immediately of music like the theme to The Hitchhiker.

[@highheadjester]
