Not to be left out of the fun, San Antonio police officer J. Quiroz posted a video of his own to the San Antonio Police Department’s page, this time lip-syncing to the classic boy band anthem, \*NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye.” Yet another police station joined the competition after Quiroz, however, upping the ante with officers Jimmie Zamora and Jordan Armstrong emphatically singing The Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and ending the video by singing Texas native Selena’s “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom.” Zamora and Armstrong also reposted a video from 2015 of them lip-syncing to Taylor Swift and Cyndi Lauper, noting that they were onto the trend way before. Your move, Chrissy and LL. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5322269/texas-police-officers-lip-sync-battle/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5322269/texas-police-officers-lip-sync-battle/"},"headline":"Some Police Officers Really Got Into Their Own Viral Lip Sync Battle","datePublished":"2018-06-26T16:54:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:53:32.452Z","description":"A little friendly competition","url":"https://time.com/5322269/texas-police-officers-lip-sync-battle/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4021a4fba619dfa9/698933ec86f68e503d6e9812/texas-police-officers-lip-sync-battle.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4021a4fba619dfa9/698933ec86f68e503d6e9812/texas-police-officers-lip-sync-battle.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Microphone at concert","caption":"Microphone at concert","creditText":"Berezko—Getty Images/iStockphoto","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5322269/texas-police-officers-lip-sync-battle/","name":"Some Police Officers Really Got Into Their Own Viral Lip Sync Battle"}}]}] ```
