Here’s Akihabara-based idol group Dempa Gumi Inc. covering the 1994 classic “Sabotage.” Nothing more, nothing less!
Courtesy of Japanator, you can listen to a short version of their cover here. Or, you can see them performing the tune in concertāsomething they’ve done for a while now and something that will never cease to surprise.

If you are wondering why the group’s schtick is so odd, it’s on purposeāthey’re a denpa group. That’s the point!
Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be a music video of the group’s members driving around in cop cars. Yet.
Update: Twitter user Yuckers points to this:
