"Axel F" is the electronic instrumental theme from the 1984 film Beverly Hills Cop performed by Harold Faltermeyer. It was an international number 1 hit in 1985.
The title comes from the main character's name, Axel Foley (played by Eddie Murphy), in the film. (It also happens to be in the key of F minor.)
Faltermeyer recorded the song using five instruments: a Roland Jupiter-8 provided the distinctive "supersaw" lead sound, a Moog modular synthesizer 15 provided the bass, a Roland JX-3P and Roland JX-8P provided brassy chord stabs, a Yamaha DX7 was used for tub bell or bell, bass 1/bass and marimba sounds and a LinnDrum was used for drum programming.
In addition to the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, the song also appears on Faltermeyer's 1988 album Harold F. as a bonus track. Reportedly, Faltermeyer was against including it, but MCA insisted as it was his most recognizable track.
Are you done with hurting my feelings
Are you just done?
Cause beware that’ll be your last words of your speech, you’re an ex already…
See baby I’m not your addicted, above all when you’ve gone too far…
So go ahead, say what you want while I’m packing assuming that I’ll take into account!
Bla bla… Bla bla… Lah lah lah lah lah…
Woh woh woh! Et cetera, et cetera…
