A simplified piano arrangement of Ira Newborn's theme to the very short-lived television series "Police Squad!", which was later re-used in the more successful series of films under the title "The Naked Gun," or "The Naked Gun From the Files of Police Squad!" It was created by David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker, starring Leslie Nielsen as Frank Drebin. A spoof of police procedurals and many other television shows and movies, the series features Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker's usual sight gags, wordplay, and non sequiturs. It resembles the Lee Marvin police show M Squad (in particular the opening credits) and the late 1960s series Felony Squad.

If you're familiar with the movie "Airplane!" and its sequels, you'll understand the process of how Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker used these sight gags, wordplay, and non sequiturs. (Some Mel Brooks films, such as "Spaceballs," do the same thing, I'm sure.)
