Cause this is a damned good song and a damned good video by artist is part of popular music history despite that fact that fame has overlooked him.
Tony Powers, ya'll. Used to be part of the Brill Building hit factory - quit it all to go his own way. These days he's only remembered for playing Jimmy Two-Times in Goodfellas. Well, screw that. This video and this song are teh bomb diggity.

Love!
Here's the lyrics:
Well, I wuz in this Police station Bein' booked for Garlic breath In the corner was a cripple They wuz kickin' him to death From a cell somewhere I heard This woman scream "You're hurtin' me"" On the wall there wuz This poster "Holy name society"... Oh -- I wuz in this courtroom 'Cause I had a fight With my own wife Law 'n order wuz so thick You could cut it with a knife While this landlord Made a pay-off so they'd De-control his slum Hizzoner told Some Puerto Rican "In my court you don't Chew gum" Oh -- Don't nobody move This is a heist Don't nobody move This is a heist Well, she wuz standin' on the Corner When this dude asked her The price She said “me?" he said "Take it -- Buy yourself somethin' nice" Soon as he got off 'N while she still wuz Squattin' on her heels He produced A pair of handcuffs An' a very shiny shield. Oh -- They wuz towin' me away Cuz I don't have Diplomat plates While this diplomat I know Is smugglin' "H" Into the states I said "lemmee have The ticket 'n the car – Save me a trip" So they hauled me in For giving them Some Noo Yawk lefty lip Oh – Don't nobody move This is a heist Don't nobody move This is a heist I wuz underneath my dresser Just in case of sneak attack When this television Quiz show called To ask where I wuz at I said "I'm underneath My dresser -- An' they're Poundin' on my door" The audience went wild 'N the emcee said "Would you like To try for more?" Yes-- Yes I would! Well, I wuz drivin' down The highway An' I did not have the toll So they gave me The electric chair (Cured my cold) Well, I woke up feelin' Hungry an' I asked for Somethin' hot So they gave me The electric chair again 'N then they had me shot... Oh --
Bonus: The performers in the video were Powers' acting buddies: Treat Williams, John Goodman, Marcia Strassman, Peter Reigert and Stephen Collins
