There's a holdup in the Bronx
Though he didn't write the memorable lyrics (those were by Nat Hiken), John Strauss did write the music for the memorable theme to early 1960s sitcom Car 54, Where Are You?
In Strauss's New York Times obituary (posted yesterday), those lyrics appeared prominently in the lede:
There’s a holdup in the Bronx,
Brooklyn’s broken out in fights.
There’s a traffic jam in Harlem,
That’s backed up to Jackson Heights.
There’s a scout troop short a child,
Khrushchev’s due at Idlewild.
Car 54, where are you?
Beyond Car 54, Strauss was an accomplished composer for other notable television projects and for Hollywood films. But, I have a feeling I know what he'll be most remembered for . . .
