The Law & Order theme song has always been iconic, but now it’s going viral with its own TikTok dance.
Last week, @jonas_sjv posted a video of himself with a group of friends standing in formation in front of a paused TV while they showed off some moves set specifically to the original Law & Order theme.
The internet goes wild
Law & Order is one of those things that transcends generations and interests. If you are alive and have access to a television, there’s practically zero chance you haven’t seen something from some iteration of the long-running franchise.
The original series premiered in 1990—around 35 years ago—and has spawned six U.S. spin-offs, plus several international adaptations. Law & Order itself was recently revived in 2022, Law & Order: Organized Crime debuted in 2021, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has remained on air consistently since 1999.
So to see it crossover into the world of TikTok dances felt both surreal and like a natural evolution for this cultural touchstone.

Time to turn on the TV and get to dancing!
