“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.
