"Running on the Rocks" is a song by Shriekback, featured on the album Big Night Music in 1986 and released as a single that year. It appeared in the Miami Vice episode "Baseballs of Death".
Notes[]
- The title was appropriate for the scene it appears in, as Guerrero runs his stolen boat on the rocks, exploding on impact.
- Shriekback were apparently something of a favorite of Michael Mann's -- in addition to their songs used in Miami Vice, the band also provided music for the film Band of the Hand, which was produced by Mann, and Mann's 1986 Hannibal Lecter movie Manhunter.
- In addition to Shriekback's music, Manhunter additionally featured Miami Vice guest stars Garcelle Beauvais (from "Give a Little, Take a Little" and "The Maze"), Bill Cwikowski (from "No Exit"), Chris Elliott (from "Down for the Count (Part II)"), Dennis Farina (from "One Eyed Jack", "Lombard" and "World of Trouble"), Kim Griest (from "Nobody Lives Forever"), Michele Shay (from "Theresa" and "Badge of Dishonor"), Bill Smitrovich (from "Brother's Keeper" and "The Prodigal Son") and Jim Zubiena (from "Calderone's Return (Part I)"). Miami Vice regular Michael Talbott also had a small role in the film, although his single scene was deleted from the theatrical cut of the movie.
