The title comes from the main character's name, Axel Foley (played by Eddie Murphy), in the film. It topped musical charts in 1985 and remains a popular remix track. Mixes of "Axel F" topped European pop charts in 2003, and again in 2005 as the Crazy Frog song. In addition to the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack, the song also appears on Faltermeyer's 1988 album Harold F. as a bonus track. Reportedly Faltermeyer was against including it, but MCA insisted, as it was his most recognizable track.
Harold Faltermeyer version
Faltermeyer recorded the song using three synthesizers: a Roland Jupiter-8, a Roland JX-3P, and a Yamaha DX-7. The drum part was created with a LinnDrum drum machine. This version of the song reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart and #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. It also spent two weeks atop the American adult contemporary chart.

Wrong guys. Couldn't do that without DSL connection. Dial-up, kids! NO internet for the average person. NO cell phone AT ALL (it was analog, nothing like the ones today, see Nokia "block" phone-it wasn't the brick of the 80's but a block) for average people.
Kids, use Google more often if you weren't there :) Lots of people didn't have a computer until the 90's. NO touch screens, I assure you. lol. Computer capacity was very slow. Storage was laughable. RAM was even more funny. Again, most people didn't have it.
and what they show you in movies was wildly inaccurate. "War Games?" yeah, no. Even "Copycat" in the 90's? Nobody had computers that did that anywhere near what they show you in the movie and if you did, nobody had fast internet, anyway. Dial-up. If anything. :)
This is how bizarre rumours get started that are very incorrect. I was there. Trust me. Portable cassette players were a HUGE deal back then. (the 2nd edition of the Sony Walkman). Back to the Future is fairly accurate for 1985. Although the 1st (JVC) camcorder they show would have been like 750.00 back then, probably about 2,500 today's money. I could only find the original price in yen (288,000 ¥). And exchange rate was like 250.00¥~1.00 USD.
Their VRCs by then were also about 750.00 a bit later in the 80's. Gas was probably about 1.50 in large cities then.
so, how Marty got one that wasn't hot, I have no clue :)
