“There is a Key & Peele sketch in which we can see a college football player named ‘⨗ (The Player Formerly Known As Mousecop)’. I always loved the absurdity of this. And then one day a thought popped up in my head: what if there was a TV series called Mousecop? What would it look like? And what would the soundtrack be like? Something very 1980s. Fast. Almost hectic. With laser guitars. And a chaotic ending. There was no option, I had to write that soundtrack.”
