Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out

"Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out" was the biggest hit single for Norman Cook's acid jazz group, Freak Power, released in October 1993 as a single. The song features a smooth jazz sound and the baritone vocals of lead singer Ashley Slater. The single originally charted at number 29 in the United Kingdom. However, two years later, the song was used in the popular Levi's advertisement "Taxi"[1], and it was re-released on 28 February 1995.[2] This time, the single was a success, reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart and becoming the group's only top-twenty hit. The song was also a moderate hit in western Europe and New Zealand.
