Geez, I’m posting way too many CS threads in too short a time. This is the last one for a while, I promise.
There was some sort of cop show on in the 70s with a theme song that went like this: It starts out with a synthesizer playing a note, then doing a glissando up an octave (while opening up a high-pass VCF), then back down, then up, several times. In half notes. Yo-wee-yo-wee-yo-wee-yo-wee. It then resolves in a jazzy brass riff.
It was used in both Kill Bill movies.
Wazzat from?
I’m not up on all the musical terms you’re using but for some reason the “yo-wee-yo-wee” business made me think of “Theme from SWAT.” Soundtrack listing from KB1 doesn’t list it though.
I think that it’s the beginning of the theme song from “Ironside”. That’s the Aaron Burr detective show where he’s confined to a wheelchair.
I meant to say that the character that Burr plays is confined to a wheelchair.
The theme from “Ironside,” a San Fran-based detective show starring Raymond Burr, was used in both **Kill Bill ** movies. Written by the ever-jazzy Quincy Jones.
On preview, I see that Guy Incognito got there first, mostly. Although a wheelchair-bound Aaron Burr detective show would have been damn cool. “Ah, my arch-nemesis, Alexander Hamilton, the Napoleon of Crime.”
Here’s the Ironside theme. (MP3)
I don’t think that’s the one the OP is looking for, however. And I can hear the theme in my head that he’s thinking of. I’m trying to find it right now as my brain is fuzzy. I believe the one you’re thinking of sounds more like a Mike POst theme, right?
Or is it the Ironside theme? Let me know so I can stop obsessing about this. 
I got it.

It’s by Henry Mancini. This is a rather crappy MIDI, but you can hear the synth that you described. Is this it?
Sorry about hijacking,but what a great site.David Cassidy,Man Undercover,indeed
<snort> I don’t know what the hell I was thinking when I wrote “Aaron Burr” instead of “Raymond Burr” in both of my posts. Think of the possibility of Aaron Burr playing Perry Mason and Alexander Hamilton playing Hamilton Burger. Bring a whole new meaning to the term “legal battle”.
I have no idea what all those musical terms mean.
However “70’s cop show” and “Yo-wee-yo-wee-yo-wee-yo-wee” made me instantly think of this.

The Ironside theme is different to the one posted by Rico.
