Cop Rock

If you're not in my media class, you may not have heard of the Emmy award-winning "Cop Rock". But if you have heard o fit, you'd know it was the greatest police drama/musical of the '90's, possibly even the greatest of all time. Oh yes. And it's all over YouTube. So even if you've heard their catchy hit "Let's Be Careful Out There," you've never heard anything like "Baby Merchant" or "Don't Touch". So be sure to check out this amazing footage of a revolutionary show that just never really caught on outside Ms. Taylor's class...

And if you want to find out more about "Cop Rock," here is the link to its IMDb page. Did you know it won two Emmys and was nominated for three? Seriously.

Seriously, these videos will change you life. As scanale 425 on IMDb said, "it was too hip for TV then (and probably now, too -- TV is pretty square.)" So don't be square - watch "Cop Rock".

Life in the hood ain't no piece of pie
Anybody could die
When the bullets fly



And in these streets, we [the gangstas] got the power.
(But the cops got a pretty rockin' theme song.)





So let's be careful out there





And don't touch
(Cuz every cop's ambition is to have a water fountain in the john.)





Or fall for her beautiful, beautiful eyes
(She played me sweeter than a saxophone - now that is some heartfelt balladry)





With the copper-toned skin
(This show deals with some heavy issues. Crime, racism, johns with water fountains...)





Cuz it's garbage in and garbage out
(The girl got a pretty hot mug shot, in my opinion...)





Okay, I'm sick of quoting the songs and tryign to tie this together. Just watch it.





And, um, the Baby Merchant will have your baby for you?





Oh, dude, here's the baby merchant in action!!!!!





This town has a definite crime problem...



And speaking of problems, these fans take lameness to a whole new level...





And they do it again... I'm not quite sure how this one relates to the show. But you can't deny, the guy singing lead knows how to jump around...





Oh wait, I don't think that last one was even about the show... Oh well, if you watched all those videos, you have too much time on your hands anyways...
