Riptide is a TV detective series that ran on NBC from 1984 to 1986, starring Perry King, Joe Penny, and Thom Bray. Riptide was created by Frank Lupo and Stephen J. Cannell, and produced by Stephen J. Cannell Productions. The main theme was composed by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter. A mid-season replacement, it debuted as a 2-hour TV movie in early 1984.
Cody Allen (Perry King) and Nick Ryder (Joe Penny) are two former Army buddies who decided to open the Pier 56 Detective Agency (later known as the Riptide Detective Agency) in Los Angeles. However, realizing that computers and technology play a major role in many investigations, the two recruit the help of Murray "Boz" Bozinsky (Thom Bray), a brilliant, but socially inept scientist and computer hacker whom they met while serving in the military.
The team operate out of Cody's boat, the Riptide, moored at Pier 56 at King Harbor Marina. The men have several other tools in their fight against crime and injustice. These included Murray's robot, The Roboz (which, unlike most television robots, does not speak); Nick's aging Sikorsky S-58T helicopter, The Screaming Mimi, which Nick occasionally used for his sideline business, aerial harbor tours; and Cody's speedboat, the Ebb Tide. Nick also owns a classic red Chevrolet Corvette and in early episodes; Cody drives a "Woodie" station wagon.

Plot: Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-MEN.

they're too fat to feed
your on medication
taking pills to sleep i think
im doing just fine
compared to what you've been doing
i won't get vacciniated
insurance costs too much
you think your so persuasive
but i'm not giving up, saving, my life
it's not what your doing
(chorus)
I, i won't justify
the way i live my life
cause i'm the one
living it, feeling it, tasting it,
and your just wasting your time
trying to throw me a line
when your the one drowning,
i like where i'm at
on my back floating down in my own riptide
the water is fine
i like to step on cracks
i go against the odds
you think my world is flat
do i turn you on, maybe
yeah i'm wrong
but i like where i'm going
i leave when others stay
i never re-decide
i don't mind if you wait
but i don't waste my time, crazy
is just fine
cause i like where i'm going
I, i won't justify
the way i live my life
cause i'm the one
living it, feeling it, tasting it,
and your just wasting your time
trying to throw me a line
when your the one drowning,
i like where i'm at
on my back floating down in my own riptide
the water is fine
i remember when it used to be easy
i remember when it wasn't so hard
i remember when it used to be easy
i remember when
i remember when
I, i won't justify
the way i live my life
cause i'm the one
living it, feeling it, tasting it,
and your just wasting your time
trying to throw me a line
when your the one drowning,
i like where i'm at
on my back floating down in my own riptide
the water is fine
i remember when it used to be easy
i remember when it wasn't so hard
i remember when it used to easy
