I have been looking for a song title and artist for a song that I
recorded from the radio years ago (in the mid-late eighties).  It's a
really catchy guitar-based tune.  The song is instrumental--something
along the lines of Gary Hoey--in fact, it might be him, but I have yet
to find it.  I have a suspicion that it might be a re-make of a 60's
surf instrumental, but this is just a guess.  Since I can't find my
recording of the song, I've posted my own version of it at the
following web location:

  Please forgive the guitar work in this recording.  I think it should
be good enough to give you the idea.  The actual version I am looking
for was with a full band and distortion on the guitar.  If I can find
my original recording or can get a better version out of my
guitar-playing, I'll update the link.

  I'm looking for the song title, artist, and album (if available) of
the 80's version, and if it is a re-make, the original artist would be
great too.

For what it's worth (which may not be much) it sounds a bit like the
theme song from the old TV show, The Munsters.  Have a listen and see
what you think:

You are absolutely right!  That's the tune!  The version I know was
fancied up a bit, but that is definitely it.  However, I now realize
that dozens, maybe hundreds, of bands have recorded the song...so to
find the exact version I'm looking for, I'm going to have to find that
recording and post it.  In the meantime, I'll Kazaa as many versions
as I can as candidates.  I'm going to close the question 'til then. 
Thanks so much!  That's bugged me for years!
