    Barney Miller has the greatest bass line of all time, and I'm shocked that I've never heard it sampled.

    I'm thinking about it. But I'd rather do something like television leads.

    Well, show was on from 1985-89, so you're kind of right about the 1980s thing.

    But East German? Techno pop? Not so much.

    The Equalizer theme was created by Stewart Copeland, of The Police.

    I think "The Sopranos" theme should be up there somewhere.
