Just wondering what your favorite songs about NYC are?
I would have to say:
"NYC" from Annie
"Only in New York" from Thoroughly Modern Millie
"New York, New York" (so it's not from a musical, but it's one of my all time favorite songs)

Posted: 8/11/07 at 7:03pmAnother vote to "I Happen to Like New York" and "Another Hundred People."
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

New York, New York.
I've never traveled to the city without listening to it before I leave. I love that song
Another Hundred People is one of my favourite songs as well.

Nothing new here but I love them just the same.
NY, NY- sung by-Liza, Barbara S, or Frank S
I'm in a NY state of mind- Billy Joel of course. After visiting NY, now it has more meaning.

Posted: 8/13/07 at 6:40am'Just Arrived' -from Barry Manilows London production of 'Cocacbana' Not the greatest number but a great bit of camp about young Broadway hopefuls arriving in NY.
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

I made a list of all your faults, it was quite detailed and lengthy too and when I read it through I missed you. Your like a classic Eagles song, you just cant help but sing along even though it sometimes gets annoying too. I just know I want to be wherever I can wake and see you there next to me. **High Fidelity**
