Oh, Streetcar! is a musical version of Tennessee Williams' play A Streetcar Named Desire. Several cast members of the town of Springfield put it on in the episode A Streetcar Named Marge. The songs for the show were composed by Alf Clausen and written by Jeff Martin. The song "New Orleans" gained a lot of controversy because of its lyrics portraying the city in a bad light. In response, in the following episode, Bart wrote on the chalkboard, "I will not defame New Orleans" as an apology.
