Friends in High Places

This story comes from an unimpeachable source. We'll call that source Dan... even though his real name is Officer Something-not-Dan. He told the story with a mixture of amusement and bemusement. The events are of recent vintage; it perhaps still goes on. I'd like to think it does.
The RCMP visits the island on what appears to be a fairly predictable schedule. After all, there are only 6 ferries a day, 5 on Tuesday and Sunday and none on Christmas, Wayne Gretzky's birthday and the anniversary of Gordon Campbell's drunk driving arrest. OK, a limited number of opportunities to come from Quadra Island, their home, to Cortes. Still, the people who need to know where and when they might show up need to be vigilant.  So, it seems there is a system.
Wise people employ the designated driver to be safe during nights of frivolity. Here on Cortes that is practiced, too. But there is another designated role: spy. Perhaps it's an homage to all the MI5/6, CIA, KGB folks who I am convinced live here. Maybe it's a natural extension of  the seafaring culture, past and present. Either way, somewhere along the hill that ascends majestically slicing through the forest from the ferry landing  the designated spy takes his/her place. When that person observes law enforcement exiting the ferry, the chain of events begins to unfurl. Armed with a communication device (smoke signals?), the person contacts... well, whom would you contact? Perhaps the illegal merrymakers, right? Not on Cortes. He/she calls the Cortes Island radio station. A certain song gets played. People disperse. Cars get parked. Bust is foiled. William Congreve was right: Music hath charms that soothe the savage breast. Please note that it is breast and not beast.
I'm thinking tunes such as, "For What It's Worth" ("What a field day for the heat"), "With a Little Help From my Friends", or the theme from Smoky and the Bandit.
Come up with other appropriate songs and comment on this posting, why doncha?
