"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ICPD."

Official ICPD Recruitment Video

produced by City Channel 4, uploaded to the department's Facebook page on October 5, 2010 and to YouTube:

The lyrics are from the album Blood Stained Love Story by the American rock band  Saliva, which has achieved some acclaim since it's founding in 1966. According to Wikipedia*, Sony has used this song as background music for a number of it's PlayStation3 commercials.

"Ladies and Gentlemen"


Ladies and gentlemen please
Would you bring your attention to me?
For a feast for your eyes to see
An explosion of catastrophe

Like nothing you've ever seen before
Watch closely as I open this door
Your jaws will be on the floor
After this you'll be begging for more

Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen

Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen

Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?

Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen

Ladies and gentlemen good evening
You've seen that seeing is believing
Your ears and your eyes will be bleeding
Please check to see if you're still breathing

Hold tight cause the show is not over
If you will please move in closer
You're about to be bowled over
By the wonders you're about to behold here

Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen

Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen
[x6}

Here's the official Saliva musical video of this song, which focuses on two women bloodily beating each other up in a boxing ring; one of them drinks a can of cocaine part-way through the fight.
