Sonny-Burnett Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 For those who may remember the original airing or have the tapes, I came across the following in IMDB and never knew about this bit of trivia. Would be interested to know if it is true. And if it is true, does anyone have the Hammer tracks?"~~Did You Know?TriviaAlthough Godley and Creme's "Cry" is closely associated to the Definitely Miami episode, it was not featured on the original NBC airing. Instead, an original Jan Hammer incidental piece - which sounds very similar to the guitar rhythm in "Cry" - in select scenes such as when Crockett (Don Johnson) drives out to the sand dune junkyard to confront Charlie Basset (Ted Nugent), and when Crockett appears on the beach to reveal he is a cop and arrests Callie (Arielle Dombasle). Godley and Creme's "Cry" replaced the Jan Hammer original score when Miami Vice went into TV syndication.

BlueAir Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 One of the best scenes of Miami Vice.Glad they used "Cry" but it would be interesting to hear Hammers score to it:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new Hammer from MV is something special.Would also be interested in hearing from those who may have taped the Episode back in the day.

TylerDurden389 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'm pretty sure I saw a video on youtube that pointed out that the music was different in the season 3 episode "By Hooker, By Crook" when DJ and MG have their sex scene. So I'll chalk this up as example #2 of the music not being as it was originally heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger390X Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Very interesting facts!I only saw the one with G&C so it's etched in my mind. (I love that song and long time fan of 10CC)I would love to see that version however... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I love that song and long time fan of 10CC)I would love to see that version however...It's my favorite EP and that scene at the end is Iconic. I had no idea that Hammer provided the track there early on, and I am still wanting to verify that and hopefully find someone who has the unreleased Tracks from Jan.

miamijimf Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hammer is beyond great but I can't imagine anything going better than "Cry" with that scene. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny-Burnett Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I agree Jim. That ending scene with "Cry" was perfect. Wonder though if anyone in here has taped the original airing and would have the JH cues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny-Burnett Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Well I had to post the video in this thread after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cageyJG Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 That is crazy. We haven't talked about any Easter eggs like this in awhile. Wouldn't it be great to hear that original score just for curiosity's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James Posted January 19, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Could it be the same track used about 11 minutes into the episode when they walk into the hotel bar? That sounds similar to Cry.The scene where Crockett says "It's so hot you can fry an egg on my face". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MetroVice Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I always liked his episode but never knew there was originally a Hammer score to the original. I also hope someone can find it so we can all experience it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PalmTree Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I used to have an original version of "Cry" that was around 5:00+. Damned good song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Ferrariman Posted May 11, 2020 Administrators Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 That's news to me. I was lucky enough to be there for the original airings and "Cry" was always in the episode. I don't doubt it's a possibility that there was a last minute change but the "Cry" version is the only one I've ever known. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daytona365 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) there is a 6:58' remix version of "Cry" which I think is the one that was used on the episode. Maybe the person whop posted that trivia record on imdb took it to be a JH tune, as it has extended instrumental parts.

AndrewRemington Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I know @Ferrarimanconfirmed this, but @ivoryjones also confirmed that the original January 10, 1986 airing had “Cry” at the end. He even posted a video clip from that airing in the thread attached. But yes, some of Jan Hammer’s work on this episode does seem influenced by the “Cry” song! A great unreleased song, but Mr. @Dadrian Wilson covered it to perfection! Edited July 9, 2020 by AndrewRemington 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Thanks @AndrewRemington, but I can (and will) do it better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
