For reasons too complicated to explain, I was asked to find old clips of the notorious 1990 Steven Bochco flop, Cop Rock. Although the show itself still doesn't quite hold up after all these years, some of the songs, strangely enough, do.
Though I can't fully set this one up, having never seen this episode, it goes something like this:
A young couple, apparently having trouble conceiving a baby of their own, and having exhausted all legitimate forms of adoption, stumble across a man who calls himself the "Baby Merchant." And - wouldn't you know it? - he has own song. And it's a damn catchy one to boot.
Is the story ridiculous? Yes. But if after hearing this song a few times, you won't admit to singing it to yourself at least once or twice, then I have no choice but to call you a liar.
That's right, I'm throwing down the musical gauntlet on this one.
