NYC Songs Playlist

Can anyone help me with finding some songs about or that mention NYC in them; I%26#39;m trying to make a mix playlist for the car journey to the airport -- I want to have songs about NYC on them. Can anyone recommend any modern (preferably) and classic NYC songs?

Such as Hey There Delia - Plain White T%26#39;s. I have tried a search on Amazon, but they all seem pretty dated.

Thanks

NYC Songs Playlist

Thanks, I found that list earlier when searching past TA threads -- It%26#39;s soo BIG though. Can anyone recommend any must have songs? It%26#39;s really hard to chose songs, when I haven%26#39;t heard hardly any of them lol!

It doesnt mention nyc but jennifer hudson - all dressed in love from sex and the city film.

Also frank sintra - new york new york

Well one persons must have could be another%26#39;s must not but I have Sting%26#39;s Englishman in New York and Kirsty MacColl%26#39;s Walking Down Madison for starters. Did you find the thread from a few years ago with loads of choices?

That one about being a Navtive New Yorker? Englishman in New York by Sting? Hot in the City by Billy Idol? Frank Sinatra%26#39;s New York New York,there must be hundreds. Theyve just popped into my head. Sounds like a good idea. I was going to watch a load of NYC based films in the few weeks up to our trip, I may copy your idea for our journey down to Heathrow.

There so many great NYC songs. A lot depends on what type of music you like. If your musical taste is eclectic, then----

Take the A Train (Ella Fitzgerald plus many other versions)

On Broadway (The Drifters or George Benson)

Manhattan (Bobby Short)

Spanish Harlem (Ben E. King)

Mona Lisas and Madhatters (Elton John)

New York Groove (Ace Frehley)

I Guess the Lord Must be in New York City (Nilsson)

New York State of Mind (Billy Joel)

New York City Rhythm (Barry Manilow)

Boy from New York City (The Ad Libs)

American City Suite (Cashman and West)

How about You? (Frank Sinatra)

---------

Again, it%26#39;s all about your taste in music and which songs will get you into that ';New York State of Mind';. :)
