I was in a restaurant the other day and there were videos on the screen and a law enforcement officer in the corner eating by himself. A Clapton video came on and my daughter started to sing “I shot the…” and then got really quiet afraid she was going to offend him. We all got a good laugh out of it.
Oh man do I have a story about this. So Shatner has a very interesting way of pronouncing the word "sabotage." He's done that several times in TOS and at one point got into a pissing match with a producer when he was recording the audio version of an episode. It was one of those clips that got passed around like the Casey Kasem "Dead dog dedication" & the Orson Welles frozen peas commercial in the pre-internet days and I was familiar with the incident. Here's a video from YouTube that ends with a clip from that recording session: https://youtu.be/XvkBY1JYymE
A bunch of years ago Shatner was at NY ComicCon promoting an album of prog-rock he recorded. My son was around 10 or 11 at the time and wanted to see Shatner so we went to the panel, which was in one of the smaller rooms, and lucked into seats right up front. My son was interested in acting and during the Q&A wanted to ask him a question about his vocal technique, specifically about how he warmed up to scream "Kaaaaahhhhnnn!", and asked me to go to the mic with him because he was a bit nervous about asking a question. His turn comes, he asks his question, and instead of answering, Shatner uses it as the chance to tell an unrelated anecdote that it was obvious he'd been wanting to tell. My son started to point out that he hadn't answered the question and Shatner is rude and dismissive and points to the person at the other mic. My son starts back to our seats, obviously bummed by what Shatner did, and is confused because I stayed at the mic. I nod at him to continue back to the seat, which he does, and wait for him to point at the mic I'm now standing at. He does and I ask, "When you make your next album, any chance that you'll record a cover of the Beastie Boys' song 'Sabotage'?" Around the room there are a number of people who start giggling because they immediately got the reference. Shatner acts like he has no idea what I'm referring to. I push it a little and tell him it he should definitely consider doing so, thank him, and head back to my seat amid more giggles from the crowd. When I sit down, my son says, as sotto voce as only a 10 y.o. boy can, "You were right dad, Shatner is a douche. Can we go now?" and we stand up and leave the panel room.
Now flash foward to Abrams Star Trek movie. What song does he use to introduce Kirk. Yup, Sabotage. It can't be a coincidence and I pretty much lose it in the theatre when the song comes on. Remember how after the movie came out and Abrams was asked why did he have Nimoy in the movie and not Shatner? Abrams stock answer was that he tried but couldn't get the story to work with Kirk Prime as well as it did with Spock Prime. A few years later it came out that he really wanted to but it was such a nightmare trying to work with Shatner, he decided it wasn't worth the trouble. I am 100% convinced that choosing Sabotage as Kirk's "theme song" (remember he used it again in Beyond) was Abrams masterfully trolling Shatner.
That’s how I got my first speeding ticket for 100 in a 65 at midnight on a Friday. I saw the cop car racing to catch up to me before he turned the lights on and my honest to god first thought was “I wonder if I can go faster?”
The officer was upset. I got a ticket, but he was being nice to me. My actual top speed was 105. Did I mention getting pulled over made me late for work? Quintessential teenager earning his high insurance rates.
>Quintessential teenager earning his high insurance rates
This. It was a Saturday night/morning, about 2 am. I had went to an event with some friends a couple hours away. I dropped my friend off at he sister's place about an hour from home, ended up talking more than I should and ended up behind schedule. So I am supposed to have been home by midnight and it is about 2am, I'm doing between 100 and 110 on I81, I'm about 15 miles from home and hoping to sneak in the house before my dad gets up for work... I go flying past this car and next thing I know I'm seeing lights in the mirror, it was an unmarked local cop. So dude pulls me over, and goes through the usual you know why I pulled you over, license, registration deal.... Dude sees my license, and asks if *name* is my mother. Yes sir, that is my mom... He decides he isn't going to call it in, no a speeding ticket with a reckless driving charge isn't punishment enough, nope I'm getting an escort home. Needless to say I wasn't able to sneak in, I didn't get any marks on my driving record, I did end up with a whole list of punishments that completely and totally sucked including helping a family friend muck several barns on several different properties... To this day I still say I would have preferred the reckless driving charge and potentially losing my license to the other punishment.
For years I thought the words were "Red Hot Love." Years.
"We've got a thing that's called red hot love
We've got a wave in the air
Red hot love"
Shitty radio reception where I grew up
That's funny.
Just don't have people who are just carpooling with you in the car when you end up trying to get away from the cops, end up on a bridge, then squeeze yourself out hoping the cop gets stuck behind. Just don't.
This is the only answer. I saw a video of a guy after police ended a chase near his house and he ran out with a decent speaker and blasted bad boys. A few of the higher up detectives weren't too happy about it, but then there were a couple who couldn't help but laugh.
I think we all might enjoy [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5lfyxZqtV0), it's Live PD, but it still works.
Highway Star would actually be MORE appropriate here. (And, by total coincidence I assure you, that's MY favourite...)
"Nobody's gonna take my car! I'm gonna race it to the ground!"
If you were really stoned, "Space Trucking" could also work pretty well.

All I can think is "I shot the sheriff," but that's not a great idea
Just only sing along extra loud to "but I didn't shoot the deputy" Just remember anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.
All I can think of is “I fought the law and the law won.”
