Okay, just the name alone gave me a massive flashback.
Back in the day, MTV had a show called Basement Tapes, where any
unsigned band could send in their videos, and the viewers would vote
on them. I remember this because the Nelsons, the pride of Lubbock,
Texas when I was going to high school there, won one month with the
video for their song "I Don't Mind." Anyway, "Dog Police" (by,
naturally, Dog Police) was the big winner of that show, the one that
everyone remembered.
HOLY CRAP! THE NELSONS VIDEO IS ON YOUTUBE TOO!

Seriously y'all, when I was in high school, this band was the biggest
thing in Lubbock. I still treasure their later single "Nuke the Prom"
as well.
