[Chancellor Palpatine]

"My daddy was a cop, on the east side of Chicago, back in the streets, back in the bad old days..."

[Cultural Jihad]

Keep the home fires burning
Though your heart is yearning
Though the boys are far away
They dream of home
There's a silver lining
In the dark clouds shining
Turn that lining inside out
Till the boys come home

[Slings and Arrows]

"My daddy was a cop, on the east side of Chicago, back in the streets, back in the bad old days..."

As Dave Barry points out in his Book of Bad Songs, the "east side" of Chicago is Lake Michigan! Daddy would have had to walk his beat in scuba gear!
