"Police Car" was composed by Sam Spence and is typically associated with Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. The main instruments being played in the piece include a drum kit, high-hats, the baritone saxophone, the alto saxophone, bass, guitars, and low and high brass instruments. A majority of its uses come from the sting at the end of the song.
