Another quick turnaround here. Unknown Song #5 is "The Heat" by Richard Myhill. Myhill is best known for working with Duran Duran in the early '80s, and for charting two singles in 1978. Special thanks to George Dickson on youtube for ID'ing this.

Unknown Song #5 - The Heat (Birdland?)
Primetime Usage - 1988
Featured Highlight - Seahawks @ Broncos, 1988
Contained on - KPMLP 1339 (Out Front)
*SONG IDENTIFIED* - 10/2/17
At this point, the 1988 NFL Primetime season has easily the highest number of unidentified songs. Unfortunately, I only have one clip of many of these songs. As a result, combined with the fact the highlights are relatively old, the audio/visual quality of these clips will tend to suffer. I apologize in advance.
The most notable thing about Unknown Song #5 is that it sounds like an intentional knockoff of "Birdland," the 1977 jazz-fusion hit by Weather Report. It's a bit more synthy, as one would expect from a 1980s production song, but the similarities are still obvious. Accompanying this track is a season-opening matchup between the Seahawks & Broncos that was played in the middle of a ticker-tape parade for some reason.
