Singing Delaware cop back for dashcam duet
In Dash Cam Duet, Cpl. Jeff Davis is joined by his serenading partner Cpl. Demetrius Stevenson and, in an attempt to hide his love for Tay Tay’s ubiquitous hit, the pair scan through various songs including “Fancy” by Iggy Azalea and Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.”
Remember singing Dover, Delaware police Cpl. Jeff Davis? Davis made national headlines after the Dover Police Department released a video showing the officer getting down to "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift. This time, Davis is back to shake things up — and no, not with much more Taylor Swift.
The original video, uploaded in January, was part of the Dover PD's Dashcam Confessionals series and was comically called #dashcamdiva. It's been reprised with a second edition called #DashCamDuet.
In Dash Cam Duet, uploaded Wednesday morning, Davis is joined by his singing partner Cpl. Demetrius Stevenson and, in an attempt to hide his love for Tay Tay's ubiquitous hit, the pair scan through various songs including "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea and Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud."
And, much to our listening pleasure, they know every song.
Davis' now famous hand and head gestures return along with some funky moves from Stevenson, but Dash Cam Duet has one stark difference from its viral predecessor: Rather than lip-syncing, both officers are actually singing (or, rather, trying to sing) the array of Top 40 hits themselves.
Paramore, a band whose song "Ain't it Fun" was featured in the video, tweeted Dash Cam Duet out to their 3.7 million followers and it has already hit over 175,000 views on YouTube after being up for only 24 hours.
In a Facebook comment, the Dover PD said the intention behind these bizarre videos is, "to engage the community we serve."
