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.
