Dear Herr Mudcat...

you were CORRECT!!! It was, indeed, "Ein Heller und
Ein Batzen." I found out by spending WAY more time online
than any sane person would have, actually tracking down
the current whereabouts of one of the musicians who used to
be in the Heavy Metal band who used this tune in the intro...
and he was kind enough to email me back!!!! Now I'm off
to try to find a more conventional version of this song
on a recording for sale, so I can finally hear the whole
thing. :)

Thank you again for your help!!
