Law Enforcement Anthem Lyrics Spark Reid Scott's Response; Catchy Tune Stuck in Heads Everywhere
In an unexpected turn of events, a TikTok user named Jarred Jermaine, also known as NateDaGreat Comedy, has gained recognition for his creative take on the iconic "Law & Order" theme song. His fan-made lyrics have since gone viral, amassing over a million views and even catching the attention of NBC and the show's actor, Reid Scott [1][3][5].
The viral video features Jermaine singing his own lyrics to the otherwise instrumental theme song, originally composed by Mike Post. However, it's important to note that the official show theme remains unchanged, continuing to play without lyrics for the 2025 season, which kicks off on Thursday, September 25 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC [1].
Jermaine's lyrics have sparked a new wave of creativity, with more people creating their own versions of the theme song. Meanwhile, the franchise continues to prove its everlasting nature, captivating audiences for over two decades [2].
As for the show itself, Law & Order Season 25 is currently in production, promising to deliver more suspenseful episodes filled with intriguing suspects wanted for murder [6].
Scott, who plays Detective Vincent Riley in the series, reacted to the TikTok while on set. He jokingly called out a discrepancy with the lyrics, pointing out that the suspects in the show are wanted for murder and not for taking tags off at the scanner as the lyrics implied [4]. Despite the humour, Scott praised the lyrics and the lyricist, comparing his style to that of The Weeknd and acknowledging him as a super fan [7].
The viral dance craze surrounding the Law & Order theme song is not a new phenomenon. Over the years, people have created various dances to the theme, adding another layer of popularity to the show [8].
Interestingly, the creator of Law & Order, Dick Wolf, uses the theme song as his ringtone. Mariska Hargitay, another star of the show, accidentally discovered this fact last year [9].
For those who want to keep up with Law & Order and other NBC and Bravo content, a Peacock TV subscription is available for $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year [10]. With this subscription, viewers can stream the Law & Order franchise, including the viral lyrics and the original theme song.
In the wake of Jermaine's viral "Law & Order" theme song remix, entertainment platforms like Peacock TV have seen an increase in daily blends featuring movies-and-tv content, with the reimagined theme song often making a daily blend appearance. This renewed interest in the iconic show has further solidified its position as a staple in the entertainment industry, offering daily doses of entertainment to fans worldwide.
