Police departments across the country have been making lip-syncing videos and challenging others to do so. Now it’s the Seattle Police Department’s chance under the spotlight. The Norfolk Police Department in Virginia recently challenged them at the end of their viral version of Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk.”

“Singing in the Rain” by Gene Kelly

“My Hero” by Foo Fighters

Anything by Mariah Carey!

One person actually just wrote “anything by Mariah Carey!”

“Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore

There were multiple recommendations for Seattle hip hop artist Macklemore from “Can’t Hold Us” to “Downtown.”

“I Fought the Law”

“Posse on Broadway” by Sir Mix A Lot

“It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls

There have been many suggestions for the police department to include Seattle’s drag queen community in the lip sync performance. This song was among those recommendations.
