Snapshots Spillover - Cop A Load More!

Detective Andy Sipowicz of the NYPD is here to welcome you to more tunes about his colleagues in the service... and the things we call them.

Bobby Fuller Four - I Fought The Law

That one would have been too obvious.

Goat Girl - The Man

That one less so.

Oscar Wills - Flatfoot Sam

I have two copies of that in my hard drive. One of them is credited to Oscar Wilde. I don't think it was him.

The Hold Steady - Chips Ahoy!

In honour of the California Highway Patrol...

The most bizarre tune I came across during this week's search was this UK Top Ten hit from 1975... hard to believe, unless you remember it.

Billy Howard - King Of The Cops

Here are some far more glamorous cops...

Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine - Glam Rock Cops

Sadly, I couldn't find any songs with a titular mention of the Rozzer, but they did once arrest Sir Thumbs Aloft for wearing a pink balloon about his foot...

Wings - London Town

As for the Bizzies, they've been known to round up Sam Fender and his mates for fighting on the beach in Newcastle...

Sam Fender - Seventeen Going Under

In Sheffield though, cheeky Monkeys get sent home in this...

Arctic Monkeys - Riot Van

We close today with the obvious ones I had to leave out over the weekend...
