When the Norfolk Police Department responded to a Lip Sync challenge by the Corinth Police Department, Texas, they never imagined that their video would go viral to the point of having some 79 million views on Facebook.
If you're not impressed by the fact that they shot the video using an iPhone on their lunch break, you are sure to be impressed by the fact that they only did one shoot so as to eliminate the need to do edits!
