Dog Police
{
Dog Police was a short-lived 1980s new wave band from Memphis, Tennessee, that briefly gained notoriety for the music video of their 1982 single, "Dog Police". In 1983, the video was featured on MTV's late-night show Basement Tapes, which aired homemade music videos and asked audience members to call in and vote for their favorites. "Dog Police" won a semi-final round in January 1984, but came in second in the finals. The video played in light rotation on MTV through February 1984.
The band was a side project of the Tony Thomas Trio, a Memphis jazz band that began performing together in 1979. After their Basement Tapes appearances, the "Dog Police" video aired on USA Network's Night Flight in July 1984 and Weird Al Yankovic's MTV show Al TV in September 1984.
In 1990, an eight and a half minute television pilot was produced, titled The Dog Police, which used a modified version of the song as its theme. The cast of the pilot included Jeremy Piven and Adam Sandler, and it was filmed just before Sandler's breakthrough on Saturday Night Live.
