I remember when this song being played on the alternative rock station back 1995. I kept telling my friend “it’s good, man”. He said “no, all they say is radar gun”.
The song resonated with me because I loved little red sports cars during the 55 Saves Lives era when every town with a cop and a radar gun discovered the cash cow that was "traffic enforcement".
75 to 0, awesome. I haven't heard this one in years but I can see as to why it's your favorite. It kicks loads of asses, straight up rock n' roll Bottle Rockets style!!!
This song is no longer available on Spotify. Apparently their label went under due to some sexual harrassment or something. Their other music is on there, but not this album.
@@eriklarson9137 i just read an article, Im not a huge fan of the band so I didnt commit it to memory. You can just google it as well. I am not the woke-scold loser you seem to think I am.

Sadly to all of their fans, they disbanded in 2020 or ‘21. 😢 Brian Henneman, the primary songwriter and singer of the band, simply decided to pursue other challenges and adventures in life.

I loved this song when I first heard it on the radio in Asheville, NC in 1995 or so. Since, I haven't heard much of it. I think it wasn't politically correct. Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but it IS strange that so many of my good friends elsewhere have never heard it, and it is unavailable on Spotify or Amazon music.
@Lucas Dimos Spotify does stupid shit like that to force you to fork over your cash for the premium edition.😝😝 Just about every Spotify like music service does the same damn thing. Whatever scummy thing they can do to separate you from your money? They'll do it. No mercy. F*ck em. Hate Spotify.
0:52 back in the day we used to have cops on bikes that patrolled the local bike path. They mostly busted teens for smoking pot. We used to call them "pedal pigs" or "park narks".
Whoever wrote this song has a delightful sense of humor.
Brian Henneman. Bottle Rockets finally hung it up. Great live band. They opened for Lucinda Williams years ago. Blew the doors off of the place.
Whoever made the video should get a job in the film industry
This is a great song
At 58 I finally got around to learning guitar. MUST learn this! It's a classic nobody under the age of 50 ever heard, ha ha.
Um hello. 17 and this is one of my favorites
@@kpdotexe3649You’re a unicorn, dude. This was released back in the early 90s. I’m old enough to remember when it was new.😂
22 here I am
I remeber when it came it awsome song
15..to be fair it’s my dad but the bottle rockets are a childhood classic lol. burning cds with blue october, matchbox 20, and bottle rockets!
I remember when this song being played on the alternative rock station back 1995. I kept telling my friend “it’s good, man”. He said “no, all they say is radar gun”.
That’s the best part
Well, ok. If you don’t like Radar Gun, here’s the Trashmen with Bird is the Word
An underrated band from Festus Missouri. My old band played this song. People loved it!
My wife hates this song so much every time I play it it’s a big fight, but I keep playing it. Now that’s what rock n roll is all about
I love this song! 😊
Fuck yeah it is
Sometimes you got to rock, even when your kids find it embarrassing
Nothing speciell with this song, but I love it.
the more you hear these guys, the more you like 'em
Truth!
I say the same thing each time I play this jam!!
😮
The song resonated with me because I loved little red sports cars during the 55 Saves Lives era when every town with a cop and a radar gun discovered the cash cow that was "traffic enforcement".
I love this song and saw the Bottle Rockets live back in 1996 at the Grand Emporium in KC. What a great show and love this band.
song should have been in super troopers
It would have been perfect. It even fits the style of the rest of the soundtrack.
Mark G trust me I grew up in northern Vermont that's all they use lol
I think it WAS in Super Troopers, or at least inspired the opening soundtrack for it. Great Movie!!!!
One of the best guitar solos you will ever here in this song. Not flashy or shredding, just gnarly as hell the way he stretches those strings.
Love the guitars
Fuck Spotify, they took this album off the app!
Heard this about 20 years ago on a local radio station, and immediately went out and bought the CD. Great band! Dig their "Nancy Sinatra", too!
Was it cfox? 99.3
75 to 0, awesome. I haven't heard this one in years but I can see as to why it's your favorite. It kicks loads of asses, straight up rock n' roll Bottle Rockets style!!!
THANKYOU
50 down to 30... man oh man! Still love this song!!!

Was wondering why it disappeared shame
I love where we are as a society. You don't state the name of the label, or any human involved, but you know it was sexual harassment. Excellent.

wow see them on Dave Letterman back in the 90's Paul was fishing the lead singer with a bottle of bud hanging on a fishing pole
When I was in Wisconsin in 1995 I heard it played on the radio in regular rotation. Back when radio didn't suck balls.
I stopped listening to radio at least 20 years ago
Radio sure is pathetic what it's turned into especially in my area
I own the official music video for this on VHS, it's amazing. My neighbor worked for CHP and he gave it to me literally this morning lol
This video is so good I thought it was official.
Whos here 2024?
Love this song!
love this song, I remember our local rock station would play the chorus whenever there was an accident on the bridge going from one town to the next
my buddy had a radar gun he probably stole, we used to freak out truckers coming through town.
Excellent tune! Excellent video track!
Radar Gun says it all😎
They are playing next Thursday where I live! Love this tune.
+USFZeus APPLETON WISCONSIN? Represent! Fuck yeah! The Bottle Rockets! See you there bro!
killer tone great song
How was this song not in the movie Super Troopers? Talk about wasted opportunity.
I want to see a police lip synch challenge with this one, it'd be absolutely hilarious.
Who’s still listening in 2k19?!
ME ! FUCK HEAD! GET SOME! OR ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH? TELL ME.
@@mikemoore3050 wow Mike, take a chill pill, u still going to the anger management meets? Seems like uve missed a few!!

Rockin' out the Stratocaster.
It's a Rickenbacker.
@@SteveatNSR
People don't realize how much sound you can get out of a Ric.
I love them...
This shit fucking RULES
I love how this is a song about cops being crooked and revenue generators
Epic band. Steve Earle played em Sirius and I was hooked
I saw these guys live in Chicago in the nineties
Shades of Highway Star!
Talk about a one-hit WONDER! *DANCE!*
They are still together.
THIS SONG ROCKS!!!!!!
This makes me want to drive fast and break the Fricken LAW👍👍✌✌
Maybe when I grow up. I'll have one to.
I remember arresting my first cop!
😎
Oh god, I haven’t heard this song since the 90’s
When I was in Military Police school in the 90s we used to rock this song all the time, I had it on CD.
@@shindrithargriethrat8408 It's in F# in case anyone's interested.
Gotta GOD DAMN CLEAN HAIRCUT TOO! I AIN'T HATEING . SAME OLD SAME OLD.
This song accurately describes Helmetta, NJ. A tiny town where the speed limit abruptly drops from 40 to 35, the cops will pull you over for going 36.
Hahahaha forgot about this comment. Hope my future self loves this comment chain :)
Makes me wish I was a cop
I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE, get a detector.....Frank misssssschief....THANK YOU.
How did I miss this? It’s great!😁👍🇺🇸”

Its on spotify
@@sams8399 No. It's not on Spotify. Also... In your mind Mr Mutant, there is a political reason for every non-hit song? That's awesome.
i dedicate this song often to law enforcement in alabama. ALEA.
Great tune, finally a studio cut of this song is on UA-cam. It's a great tune to kill some trees with in a large excavator.
Let the trees 🌳 be!!!!!!
Wow..haven’t heard this in over 30 years…😂
Just heard this in St. Charles, Mo on 101.7
Love it 🎶
love this number
That's how it's done girls.
good stuff!
I dare you to drive the speed limit while listening to this.
Thank you Lex on Lex & Terry for turning me on to this
Woop woop!
Eneas H. Love Whoop Whoop
Never realized they were from Festus, Missouri
Straight from 12th grade....
17 baby

THANK YOU!!
Hey, why did Spotify replace this song with a crappier version?
this is the same version from 20 years ago.

Perfect ! Lol 👍
I’ve taken my pedal 2 the metal lead foot off the accelerator, butt
2 no avail 🕊️❤️😎
Milliwatt seconds on maximum output...i dont know what that means but it sounds cool
Same as millijoules. A measurement of power. In this case for the electromagnetic energy emitted by the radar gun.
5 people love the Beiber.
Kick Ass Song!!!
Great👍🤑✌️
Well they did say it was ni uncatchable
Can someone post this on UA-cam music?
No.
