Well damn, friends, it& #39;s the 30th anniversary of COP ROCK, the terrible police procedural musical about the LAPD.
Let& #39;s look at some of the "best" musical performances!
Let& #39;s look at some of the "best" musical performances!
First off, probably the most well-known: "Let& #39;s Be Careful Out There" is a reference to co-creator Steven Bochco& #39;s far more famous HILL STREET BLUES (even featuring a cameo from Daniel J. Travanti, the pipe-smoking Captain from that series)! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLm5Sn1cMyQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
The opening credits features a Randy Newman banger (sure, it& #39;s no "You& #39;ve Got a Friend In Me"). One of those "studio recording" style videos, with the show& #39;s actors just hanging out and chatting.

How about a gospel-style number set in a courtroom, where the last great ponytailed villain of the 80s is (SPOILER ALERT) found guilty of "all his crimes"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWwNTSj2Cy0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Some of the most inexplicable lyrics ("I bet there ain& #39;t no roses in your family tree") meet the most homoerotic ("I know what& #39;s what when your butt& #39;s on the line, and when you need a man to cover your back...") meet in "Blue is Blue and Black is Black". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ9rX0ImqJU">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
In one of the most offensive and loony scenes in the entire series, a cop (Diane Delano from NORTHERN EXPOSURE!) sings about how police violence makes her horny and tries to get it on with her unwilling partner after everyone around them disappears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXnWSqKeuvc">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
As the cops evict a homeless encampment filled with good-looking actors and extras outfitted in Stereotypical Bum costumes and surprisingly good Bad Teeth appliances, the indigent sing of their plight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SJqRbNpJsk">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
The briefing room becomes a network television strip club when a prostitution sting is presided over by Paul McCrane (the evil Dr Romano from ER)! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VfV1sYW8Zg">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Did you know that Sheryl Crow was in COP ROCK?!? It wasn& #39;t enough to save the series, sadly, because this was the very last episode -- the show was canceled after 11 broadcasts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IOXoyz2sdY">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
I& #39;m really sorry if you missed the last time America was truly united, but I swear, we all hated this show. I think this was my first experience hate-watching anything.
If you& #39;re somehow still interested, here is the whole first episode of the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_52J23IlAs8">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
