"Detective Story" is an original song from the Sid the Science Kid episode "What's That Smell?". The song, sung by Susie from the point of hound named Rover, talks about how the dog uses smell to solve his mysteries.

MY NAME IS ROVER DETECTIVE ROVER
I’M A DOG
THE STORY YOU ABOUT TO HEAR IS TRUE
GOT A NOSE FOR DETECTING I DO IT VERY WELL
I SOLVE EACH CASE BY USING MY SENSE OF SMELL
I PICK UP THE SCENT ON THE WIND THAT BLOWS
THOSE MOLEECLUES FLOAT ON THE
AIR
AND LAND RIGHT IN MY NOSE
AND IF IT SMELLS GOOD I SAY YUMMY
I CAN SMELL HOT DOGS AT A PICNIC
ON THE CASE OF DETECTIVE ROVER
I PICKED UPTHAT SCENT
I HEADED FOR THE LEFTOVERS
ON THE WAY I GOT DISTRACTED
BY SOME SWEET-SMELLING FLOWERS
I SMELLED SOME DOGGY TREATS
OOH I LOVE MY SMELLING POWERS
ROTTEN EGGS I SHOULDN’T MENTION
CAUGHT MY
ATTENTION WHEN IT SMELLS BAD I SAY YUCK
I’M A DOG DETECTIVE SO I GOT BACK ON THE SCENT
THAT HOT DOG SMELL LED ME
SO I FOLLOWED WHERE IT WENT
I WAS GETTING CLOSER
I THOUGH I CAUGHT A WHIFF
THE SMELL WAS GETTING STRONGER
SO I TOOK ANOTHER SNIFF
SOON I WAS EATING GREAT LEFTOVERS
ANOTHER CASE SOLVED BY DETECTIVE ROVER
