Notes[]

  • This was the final pop song played in the series (not including the closing credits).

The scene the song appears in

  • The scene in which the song appears is (intentionally) very similar to the famous "In The Air Tonight" sequence from the pilot episode; both feature Crockett and Tubbs driving through the night towards a violent confrontation with a drug lord that they seem unlikely to survive unscathed.
  • When comparing the "Bad Attitude" scene with the "In The Air Tonight" scene, the former can also be seen as indicative of the changing music trends in later seasons of the show -- while virtually identical in terms of visual content, the original pop soundtrack in "Brother's Keeper" has now been replaced with hard rock.
