"In the Navy" is a song by Village People . Captain Jack rerecorded a cover of the song and it was parodied by Billy Connolly as "In the Brownies".

The US NAVY actually intended to use the song in promotional advertising - until protests erupted over using taxpayer money for a music video.

  • The Captain Jack version was in the game Dance Dance Revolution .

  • The song is played in '' The Simpsons '' episode " Simpson Tide " and it ends as a submarine submerges (bringing the Village People with it).
