If you are going to go with this one from The Gap Band, then you should have also put this legendary song up right after it... Always give love to the Boys of Windham 4th: Momma, Sugar Ray and Lucky!

This one actually uses an actual sound effect (of a loon), that they eventually had to pay a royalty for using. Story about the wrongful conviction of David Milgaard and how he spent 20 years in prison before being released.

This one doesn't begin with a sound effect--but it ENDS with cop car arriving, siren blasting, and the cops arresting everyone you've been hearing sing for the last six or seven minutes.

 

[Jackcatscal]

Starting with traffic, and sirens, and confusion.

 

[Jackcatscal]

How about finger-poppin"?
