The “Car 54 where are you?” song still cracks me up after 50 years, but “Secret Agent Man” by Johnny Rivers flat out rocks.
I have every episode of that on VHS. I think Car 54 was the funniest show ever. The episode where Schnauzer thinks he getting a huge sum of money from the fund for injured cops is hilarious. Paul Reed as Captain Bloch was a great comedian. His facial expressions would make a scene funny.
I can recite that from memory:
There’s 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?
