This is the music heard outside the Ocean Club during the close-up of the "NOT D WYF" liscence plate. The music continues inside the club but it is harder to hear. I love this theme and it sounds exactly like sailing music should. I'm wondering if this was written by Hammer. It sounds different than his usual style. Maybe Dadrian knows?

I always assumed it was Jan Hammer because the tune has never been listed as anything else in the music guides but let's see what Dadrian thinks. That tune can also be heard in "Milk Run" when C&T go drag Sloan the lawyer out of the bar.

I just watched the scene from "Milk Run". It was definitely the same theme but it had what sounded like a trumpet or some other brass instrument playing a melody. I don't recall this in the "Buses" version. Maybe I need to rewatch that one, too. What do you guys think? Are they identical?

Music has be re-used before, like BASS AND TROUBLE by SLY AND ROBBIE, but I too think this is Jan Hammer.

It plays for a second, then another Jan Hammer tune (Later heard in THE DUTCH OVEN at the begining when Tubbs is ripped off, and they run after the bad guy in the club) starts playing when TUBBS starts to pat the wire to make it shut up.

The 1st few seconds of it sound like "Heartbreaker"
