Miami Vice T Shirts and Merchandise
Despite the fact that the TV series Miami Vice hasn’t been on prime time television in more than two decades, the recognizable bass line from the theme song is still enough to get your heart pumping. The show that gave Don Johnson his big break in TV is also the show that revolutionized the prime time TV crime drama with its focus on the drug culture of the 80s and music from the top of the charts at the time. Both of these ideas put together helped tell a great story in each episode which is why there was a recent 2006 movie made with the same idea and with the same director.

Whether you watched the original series when it was on in the 1980s or if you’ve watched reruns, you probably recognize some of the songs and artists. Some of the biggest names that loaned their songs to the show include Meat L oaf, Bryan Adams, Phil Collins, Depeche Mode and even Ted Nugent. These songs helped provide the atmosphere of danger that Tibbs and Crockett had to go through when chasing down the drug dealers, prostitutes and other dregs of society in Miami.
