Axel F

I should big it up.

I can play Axel F.

Do you want the lead? Do you want the chords? Or do you want the big fat bass line? When you say it like that, it's got to be big fat bass line.

Yeah, here we go.

133693.

Axel F is the name of the track.

What did the F stand for? For those who have a bit of a memory going back to the 80s, I would have thought that was tone.

It's a nice piece,

Foley.

Well done, you.

Good work, Axel Foley.

And what a movie that was.

The start of the song, you would be forgiven if you thought it was a Prodigy song.

And then the synths start and you're taken back to the early 2000s with hints of like Troye Sivan vocal rhythms meets Axl F

synths.

Yeah, almost like that.

But it works.

Yeah.

So just picture like Troye Sivan meets Axl F with a bit of the prodigy and that is Car Crash Baby.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, so fun fact, a German metal band I listened to, that just happened to them as well.

They did a remix of Axl F, Crazy Frog.

You guys remember that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

In fact, I know I've mentioned it before.

It was Axl F, the brilliant Axl F by Harold Faltermeyer, who was Giorgio Moroder's programmer and, of course, would go on to produce Behaviour later on.

So a little bit of a Pet Shop Boys link there.

I didn't know it at the time, but Axl F was also an influence on the first version of Suburbia that they recorded for Please.

So Axl F was the first single I bought, but a few months earlier, I had actually been bought, much in the same way that Chris was bought Baby Love, I was bought Band-Aids Do They Know It's Christmas for Christmas.

Funny enough.

So I am charity synth pop before Beverly Hills cop pop.

I live high up on a high up floor, which means I ride it down in an elevator, which means I'm constantly in interactions, sublime, extreme, or just like the time I got on the elevator and a kid that was maybe 10 years old was holding a keytar.

And as we went down, he played the beginning of Axel F, the doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.

And he timed it exactly to when the elevator stopped, tipped down his sunglasses, and got off.

And I mean, that happens.

Right.

Um, Axel F and Crockett's Theme, things.

But these were big hits in the '80s.

Um, and then-

Yeah, 3 was different.

And then Axel F was also really bad.

But you had to watch it.

Just like Caddyshack 2, it sucked, but you had to watch it.
