21 Jump Street is an action comedy film where two unachieved cops are sent to an American high school and are made to blend in with the drug dealers and bring them down. This is humorous because it is unrealistic for two grown men to blend in with high school children.
This sound exaggerates the humorous tone of the movie as this song was made to be funny and it has a 'jokey' feeling and lyrics, which related to the the genre of the film.
