City of Crime (1987)

I am flashing on a June afternoon in 1989..I have just settled into my room in the Super 8 Motel just up the street from the United Airlines maintenance base where I have just started my new job. The TV is on and "Dragnet" is on HBO....I watch the movie and am unpacking as the credits are rolling....I think I recognize the singer and check the musical credits.. Glenn Hughes and Pat Thrall did that song?? Cool!!

Pretty funny..I never had seen the video until now...Dan Aykroyd was a riot as Joe Friday and this was a few years before Tom Hanks had to buy the showcase for the Oscars he would collect....And a pre-Baywatch Alexandra Paul?? Oh wow

Thanks for finding that gem!

OMG - that takes me back. LOL Thanks for posting...I had no idea that GH was in that video or song 1989 is the year I graduated from high school. Now I am stuck on memory lane. LOL

Didn't know that existed! Thanks for posting!

I've seen this on french tv a long time ago !! thank you for posting here...

i just downloaded the video from you tube.

here it is for you to stick on your pc or ipod to enjoy.

The rapping is pretty bad but the music and chorus is good.

What's the story behind this song, did they write this specifically for the movie or was it a Hughes/Thrall leftover track?

For the movie...

Typos abound but well worth pickin' up if you ever come across it...

looks like people had trouble spelling Glenn even back then!

That's a great find, David!

Thanks for posting
