Pretty soon we noticed that when we inserted the CD, our African Gray Parrot, affectionately known as Ceasar, would start bobbing his head up and down and saying "Dance"! It really shocked us to hear him start singing "Bad Bird, Bad Bird, Whatchagonna do, Whatcha gonna do when they come from you".

My husband would play Bad Boys (Theme from Cops) and I would listen to Make You Sweat and all the other cool tunes. In just a few days I had my CD and played it all day long, day after day. I could hardly wait for the package to arrive. The price was right and the CD had one of my favorite songs "Make You Sweat". I happened to stumbled upon Inner Circle's Bad Boys CD on Ebay. This usually means I increase my collection on Calypso, Reggae and Beach and Hawaiian music. (Its success on Big Beat also allowed parent company Atlantic to seed other label imprints in the 1990s.) Its ubiquity reached even further into the stratosphere in 1995 when it lent its name to - and also served as the theme song for - the Will Smith-Martin Lawrence comedy film franchise.Upon the first sign of a fast approaching Summer, I look for music to get me into my "Summer Groove". The album was re-titled “Bad Boys” and the song became a million-selling Top Ten hit in the U.S. single release by Big Beat Records, the label founded in the 1980s by current Atlantic Records CEO/co-chair Craig Kallman. 1 on the Norwegian charts - but by 1992 the song’s “Cops”-fueled familiarity was such that it was included on an Inner Circle album (“Bad to the Bone”) for a third time, and was picked up for U.S. The re-recording was released as a single in Europe around this time to some success - reaching No. The show’s popularity quickly grew, and so did the song’s - its “Bad boys, bad boys / Watcha gonna do when they come for you” refrain etching itself into popular culture along with grainy video visuals of police officers chasing suspects.

RAS Records, the stalwart Washington D.C.-based reggae label that released the album, didn’t have the marketing or distribution clout to make a dent in the mainstream with the song, but the band sensed its potential and re-recorded it for their next album, 1989’s “Identified.” This was the same year that a new Fox TV show called “Cops” debuted, which used “Bad Boys” as its opening theme song, apparently chosen by one of the show’s producers who just happened to be an Inner Circle fan. Their second post-reunion album, 1987’s “One Way,” featured a catchy song written by Ian Lewis called “Bad Boys” tucked away on the album’s second side.

That all took place completely separately from the music scene in Jamaica, where dancehall had taken hold, but Ian and Roger Lewis, the two brothers at the core of Inner Circle, had identified their market and pursued it with the same professionalism they had displayed from day one. They set about reestablishing themselves in an international reggae market that was still reeling from Bob Marley’s death in 1981, and had managed to secure major tours opening for acts like the Police and Talking Heads. When Inner Circle reconvened in 1986, the members having moved their base to Miami, they were fronted by new singer, Calton Coffie. But Inner Circle soon established itself upon hooking up with a charismatic young vocalist named Jacob Miller, with whom the band had many hits - until Miller’s tragic death in a March 1980 car crash forced the band to take a few years off to regroup.
