As you might have guess, there’s going to be a fair proportion of 80s cheese in the keyboard riffs for ukulele series. And it doesn’t come much more 80s than the theme tune to Beverley Hills Cop. The 80s must be the only time in pop music history that it was fashionable to be German.

Keep the notes in this one short and muted by resting the underside of you picking hand just in front of the bridge.

    Cheesy, absolutely but it is a really fun tune. Hopefully enough time has passed that people have forgotten that accursed frog version…

    I agree with Nick. Bring on the Giorgio Moroder for Ukulele e-book.
