You leave work early so you can get to the bank before it closes, then stop by the drug store to pick up your prescription and maybe some shampoo, then stop to get gas. This music plays.
The music was probably the best part of this arcade video game. The playability wasn't great, but it was the atmosphere that made this game a hit. This was part of a wave of [witty and] humor-themed games that came from Atari in the 1980s. This creative period also saw the appearance of games like A.P.B., Toobin, 720, Xenophobe... I don't remember what else fits this category. The 1980s was an interesting decade... for the music industry also, at least. Now a lot of these TV shows and movies that are coming out now are very dark, even the funny ones.
I'm so old I played this in the arcade! It was awesome, but it was double the price (two quarters instead of one) for some reason? I spent my allowance and to this day this song is stuck in my head. Great song, along with Kung Fu Master theme.

Fixed who composed the song. Better late than never I guess lol.
I'm utterly surprised some mainstream artist didn't sample this for some song.
needs more cowbell

I actually like the NES version better.
Anyone who thumbs down Canon, Fuller, Vickers is just simply a clown...these guys were awesome at what they did and how they did it...
I was a paperboy in the early 90s, so whenever I had to deliver newspapers this song always popped in my head.
This definitely sounds like the 1980’s

Wow, the ONLY version on RUclips w/ the full intro. Great!
You know you were kicking ass if you heard half of this song playing the game!😁👍
This is one of the most addictive compositions of computer-game music.
Someone needs to do a live jazz version of this! Always loved this tune from the first time I played it in the arcade! 🥁😍
I love how the rest of the text is “BLABLABLABLABL-“
Do you know what this theme needs? MORE COWBELL!
