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)

Judy or Liza singing I Happen to Like New York

Art has a double face, of expression and illusion.

Another 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.

Oh how could I forget "What More Do I Need?"

"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"

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.

'Manhattan' by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, from Garrick Gaieties, 1925. It will always be a classic.

'Our whole family shouts. It comes from us livin' so close to the railroad tracks'

'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'!'

Only in New York - Throughly Modern Millie...hands down.

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** Love is what I do **The Wedding Singer** Xanadu - Best NEW Musical of the Season!
