Hello Everyone,

I have a gig coming up this month for a police retirement party. It would be nice to have a good selection of police-oriented choices ready for both karaoke and filler music. If you could help me add additional songs to this list it would be greatly appreciated!

I fought the law - The Bobby Fuller Four
Highway Patrol - Junior Brown
Twilight Zone - Golden Earring
The Trooper - Iron Maiden
Soul Shaker - Big & Rich
Click Click Pull - Limp Bizkit
Where Have All the Good People Gone - Sam Roberts Band
Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf
Here's a Quarter - Travis Tritt
Southern Justice - Travis Tritt
Nobody's Hero - Rush
I Can't Drive 55 by Sammy Hagar
Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley
I shot the Sheriff - Bob Marley
Inner Circle - Bad Boys
Radar Gun - The Bottle Rockets
Highway Patrol - Junior Brown
The Ventures - Theme from Hawaii 5-0
Nelly - Shake Your Tail Feather (theme from Bad Boys II)

First one that came to mind... Breakin' the Law by Judas Priest!

Breakin the law... breakin the law!

Or.. Nat King Cole - Call The Police

Looks like it's been covered a few times by various artists

Call the police.. hurry, hurry.. Won't 'cha call the police.. Quick quick quick!

More of a criminal song.. how about Johnny Cash and Folsom Prison?

Not really a cop song, but the Authority Song by John Cougar Mellencamp

For the lady cops who like to dance.. .. howabout Mrs. Officer by Lil Wayne?

Lonesome Dove by Garth Brooks tells the story of a Texas lawman.

Ok.. one more..

Beer for my horses - Toby Keith and Willie Nelson

Lots of cops going after the bad guys good triumphs over evil in that song.

Thanks Cheese!

Good suggestions! I am going to have to try to keep these as positive as possible (I don't want to bite the hand that feeds ----- or the long arm as it may be)

"Piggies" by The Beatles? [schild=4 fontcolor=FF0000 shadowcolor=C0C0C0 shieldshadow=1]Joke![/schild]

Indiana Wants Me -- R. Dean Taylor
Mama Tried -- Merle Haggard
Wanted Dead Or Alive -- Bon Jovi

The OP listed 'bad boys' in their initial list.


I just thought of some more..

Crime Of Passion - Ricky Van Shelton

Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde - Travis Tritt

Dont even know it is available as karaoke... but good for the event.

My fave band the CLASH has a few

Police and thieves
Police on my back
I fought the Law.

Johnny Cash - The Highway Patrolman

-not sure if it was posted already...I'm too drunk to read the small print

My personal fave, politically incorrect as all get out but cracks me up. My apologies to anyone who is offended, but for me this is hilarious... I'm sure it will never be done on karaoke...

Big Iron on His Hip............. my G'father was Tx Highway Patrol, him and his buddies used to get drunk and sing it all the time...................

Twilight zone??? what am I missing??

And I just remembered... GANG OF FOUR-I Love a Man in Uniform

Conspicuous by its absence...

The Night Chicago Died by Paper Lace

"Daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago Back in the USA back in the bad old days"

If you are in Seattle, I will sing it for a free PBR.

Still waiting for a visit from you drizzle.

Kenny Rogers - The Long Arm Of The Law

HEY JEALOUSY by the Gin Blossoms has a line that mentions the police.... "Let the cops chase us around"

"The Boys In The Bright White Sportscar" - Trooper

There they go
The boys are really rollin'
Some old lady called the cops
Said the car is probably stolen, stolen
