I didn't spend a lot of time watching the TV series of Miami Vice but Phil Collins' song:

I can feel it coming "In the Air Tonight", Oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord

will in my mind forever be tied to the Miami Vice movie . I consider it to be the best arranged, best engineered piece of popular music of the '80's. It has such wonderful drama built into it by way of the lyrics as well as through the musical arrangement.

Part of the beauty of it is that it fit so very well with the plot.

I've seen your face before my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes

It makes me wonder if it was specifically written for the movie. But there are other stories about that. If anyone needs a refresher on the tune, it can be found by clickinghere.
