“Chad” is a satirical homage to the Season 3 character we all love to hate, Deputy Chad Broxford. The song —based on Michael Jackson’s “Bad,” and written and performed by Seattleite Steve Lange— was commissioned and co-produced by Karl Reinsch, who’s also the man to thank for getting Twin Peaks Day officialized in North Bend and Snoqualmie, WA, last year.

The entertaining music video, which includes a dancing log, a break-dancing Dr. Jacoby/Amp and even a John Pirruccello cameo, was shot at several of the show’s filming locations up in the Pacific Northwest. It premiered last weekend at the 2018 Twin Peaks UK Festival in London and today, Welcome to Twin Peaks is presenting its online debut.

To be enjoyed over lunch with a bowl of garmonbozia!

Chad (Lyrics)

YOU BEST BACK OFF

THIS LUNCH IS MINE

YOU EAT DONUTS HERE

LIKE ALL THE TIME

I’M TELLING YOU

BETTER COUNT YOUR DAYS

CUZ I’VE GOT ROOM

FOR TWO ENTREES (AND)

GAR-MON, GAR-MON

GARMON-BO-ZE-A

ALL RIGHT?

I’M RUNNING THINGS

HERE AT THE JAIL

DON’T SNITCH ON RICHARD

OR I’LL STEAL YOUR MAIL

SO RUN AND TELL

ALL THE FREAKS

THAT I’M THE LAW

HERE IN TWIN PEAKS

IF THEY SAY IT’S ANDY BRENNAN,

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THEY’RE WRONG

HE AIN’T NO KIND OF POLICEMAN,

NOW LET ME SING MY SONG

Because I’m Chad, I’m Chad, shamone

(Chad, Chad, really, really Chad)

You know I’m Chad, I’m Chad, you know it

(Chad, Chad, really, really Chad)

You know I’m Chad, I’m Chad, shamone, you know

(Chad, Chad, really, really Chad)

Got no sympathy for PTSD,

Just to tell you once again who’s Chad

THAT GUM YOU LIKE

AIN’T BACK IN STYLE

I’LL CHEW ON THAT

SO DON’T YOU SMILE

AIN’T GOT NO WIFE,

I LIVE ALONE

MY ONLY FRIEND

IS MY PINE CONE

DON’T WANNA HEAR,

NO TALKIN’ LOGS

DICK’S LONGER THAN

WALLY’S MONOLOGUE

DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR VISIONS

OR WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR DREAMS

IF YOU’RE ASKIN’ ME, CHAD BROXFORD

THE OWLS ARE EXACTLY WHAT THEY SEEM

Because I’m Chad, I’m Chad, shamone

(Chad, Chad, really, really Chad)

You know I’m Chad, I’m Chad, you know it

(Chad, Chad, really, really Chad)

You know I’m Chad, I’m Chad, you know it, you know

(Chad, Chad, really, really Chad)

And I wouldn’t take that shit off of her,

Just to tell you once again who’s Chad

TRIED TO ESCAPE FROM PRISON

SO I COULD GET OUT OF THIS PLACE

BUT THE SCHMUCK WHO WEARS THAT GREEN GLOVE

MADE THAT CELL DOOR HIT MY FACE

Because I’m Chad, I’m Chad, shamone

(Chad, Chad, really, really Chad)

You know I’m Chad, I’m Chad, you know it

(Chad, Chad, really, really Chad)

You know I’m Chad, I’m Chad, you know it, you know

(Chad, Chad, really, really Chad)

And I’ll eat in the conference room when I want,

Just to tell you once again, WHO’S CHAD?
