This might be a challenge but I'm hoping someone out there knows the answer.
I'm looking for a pop song, probably from the early 1980s or late 70s, male lead singer with somewhat high pitched voice (same sound as lead singer from Supertramp). The theme is 1930's and 40's cops and robbers movies and, apart from the main theme and lyrics, we hear what seems to be a car chase at one point, some shooting and dialogue from an old movie. The melody is very 1930s-40s but with a steady rock beat. Halfway through the song, the beat slows down completely but the main theme continues to be played as we hear the movie wind down. The song ends with the sound of a old movie projector clicking away.
If I could remember a single word from the lyrics, I'd write it but I don't.
The tune goes something like this:

How to insert music:
Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
