Cop performs funny lip-sync scoring over 1 million views
We all need cheering up at the moment, and luckily, the internet is full of distractions! One video that’s absolutely guaranteed to make your day is this one, featuring police officers lip-syncing to one of the best ever songs.
Need we say anymore?
Lip syncing has become a bit of a thing online, but not all lip-syncing videos are anywhere near as fun as the one by the crew at Overland Park Police department.
The video opens on a quiet day at Overland Park, Kansas. We can see PIO John Lacy sitting at his desk, clicking away at his computer. Unsurprisingly, it doesn’t take long until he’s overwhelmed by his boredom – and logically decides to wake everyone up.
It must have been an unusual day in the office for all involved, especially as Lacy decided to include his peers in his performance. Was he stressed, or simply rising to the challenge? Perhaps we’ll never know.
Still, Lacy certainly has the confidence for the lip sync at hand. He looks up and belts out the intro to Harry Belafonte’s “Banana boat (Day-O)”. Or, he would be belting it out, if it wasn’t just a lip sync. It legitimately looks as if he’s singing – he’s got this down to a T.
We imagine Lacy’s peers are wondering what on earth he ate in his breakfast today.
There’s no denying the man’s talent, though. The facial expressions he pairs with the lyrics he’s singing are beyond hilarious. He’s not afraid to mix in a bit of comical dancing, either.
We next watch as Lacy interrupts a meeting, and seems to be asking his colleagues to join him for the day.
He sings: “Daylight come and me wan’ go home.”
Luckily, his fellow officers are on board. Tossing their papers in the air, they stand up and join in on the lip sync. We’re hardly surprised – it’s such a feel-good tune that it would be impossible to turn down the challenge!
From a viewer’s perspective, the video is immensely fun to watch. It’s impossible not to smile and bop your head along to the beat.
Even Mayor Carl Gerlach and city management get in on the performance. Now that’s an achievement on Lacy’s end! Unsurprisingly, the video has amassed over a million views and counting. Viewers can’t get enough of it.
One viewer commented: “This is the BEST one I’ve seen so far. This guy really looks like he’s having fun. His moves and facial expressions are over the top. He is just perfect! FIVE STARS!”
They’re right here – officer lacy has the moves and the many faces. He’s a born performer. We would even suggest a career change for his future.
The video documents Lacy’s excursion around town, where he has a great time with everyone. His mission is to spread smiles, amusement, and laughter – something we could all do with right now – and he more than succeeds in it.
For reasons perhaps only known by Lacy, he decides to equip himself with a pair of goggles, snorkeling gear, and flippers for good measure. It just gets more bizarre by the minute.
What’s for sure, we’d imagine it must be a bundle of laughs working with this guy. We’re almost jealous that he isn’t our boss!
Take a look at the video below and prepare to laugh your socks off.
