Central Park Arrest

"Central Park Arrest" is a song composed by Lynsey de Paul[1] for the vocal trio Thunderthighs, and told the story of a policewoman apprehending a flasher in New York's Central Park. This song in the style of TV cop theme tunes of the day featured police sirens wailing, shots being fired and megaphone radio. The song was a top 30 hit in the UK Singles Chart.[2] The song's writer recorded her own version on the B-side to the hit single "No, Honestly" a few months later, as a lighter bongo driven song. More recently, de Paul's version appeared on her anthology album, Into my Music.[3]
