I like theme track; it units the tone for what we will probably be watching, and, a number of the time, it is a enjoyable tune to hum alongside to. There are many retro present theme songs that also slap, and even after 30 years, the Regulation & Order theme track hits, regardless that it has no lyrics. However that has modified. Somebody wrote lyrics to the theme track of the long-running drama that is returning this fall on the 2025 TV schedule, and star Reid Scott reacted. However now I can’t get it out of my head.
TikTok person NateDaGreat Comedy posted a video of him singing lyrics he had written for the Regulation & Order theme track, and it’s nothing like what Seth MacFarlane sang in Ted 2. The video has since gone viral with over 1,000,000 views and a discover from NBC. That isn’t the one recognition that he acquired, although, as Scott, who has performed Detective Vincent Riley since Season 23, reacted to the TikTok whereas on set:
Scott jokingly known as out a discrepancy with the lyrics, declaring that the suspects within the present are wished for homicide and never for taking tags off on the scanner because the lyrics implied. However that’s what makes it all of the extra hilarious. The actor additionally praised the lyrics and the lyricist, saying he offers off a The Weeknd vibe and is a brilliant fan. However now I’d love to listen to lyrics for the entire Regulation & Order reveals.
Even with out lyrics, the Regulation & Order theme track stays iconic. A lot in order that creator Dick Wolf has it as his ringtone, as Mariska Hargitay by chance discovered final yr. It’s a kind of theme songs that irrespective of what number of instances you hear it, you may’t assist however hearken to it. Folks have even created some viral dances to it over time, with Hargitay and Kelli Giddish dancing alongside to 1 on TikTok very lately.
Now, the lyrics make all this even higher, nevertheless it additionally makes it more durable to get the observe out of my head.
In the meantime, if it couldn’t be seen from NBC’s TikTok, Regulation & Order Season 25 is at present in manufacturing. It’s onerous to inform what will probably be in retailer, however even when there received’t be suspects taking tags off scanners, there will definitely be extra suspects wished for homicide. Possibly writers will even get extra inspiration from the lyrics and vice versa.
Between the viral lyrics and dances, Regulation & Order is continuous to show that it’s eternal, irrespective of how lengthy it’s been on and irrespective of how lengthy will probably be on. There doesn’t appear to be an finish in sight for the franchise, and it wouldn’t be shocking if extra folks have been to leap on the bandwagon with their very own lyrics.
Within the meantime, Regulation & Order and its formally wordless theme track might be streamed with a Peacock subscription. The present will probably be returning on Thursday, September 25 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
