How dare you beat me to it!!!

"New York Baby" - Leona Naess

Droppin Some NYC - Blues Traveler

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

now are we sticking with simply songs with new york in the title or songs about new york in general?

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

New York in the title, or possibly explicitly mentioned by name, IE "This Mess We're In" by PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke is under consideration. But mostly just new york in the title

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'll Take New York - Tom Waits

(he also has songs with Coney Island and Union Square in the title if you get desperate)

 

[JessicaAnn]

New York State of Mind: Billy Joel
New York by Frank Sinatra or Liza Minelli

 

[joyfulgirl]

How about "First We Take Manhattan," either the original by Leonard Cohen or the R.E.M. cover.

 

[JessicaAnn]

New York State of Mind: Billy Joel

Never mind ... I see you had this in your first post

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Bruce has a NY song... I can't think of the name of it right now.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

New York City Serenade?

 

[Bonochick]

Not New York, but...

"Silver Manhattan" - Jesse Malin
"Brooklyn" - Jesse Malin

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

New York City Serenade?

Yes, that's it! Of course I just remembered the title as soon as I opened this thread, lol.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

my favourite is 'The Only Living Boy In New York' by Simon and Garfunkel. Not my usual listening, but it's a very pretty song. There's also a rather similar-sounding cover version by Everything but the Girl.

Craig Armstrong has a gorgeous song with Evan Dando of the Lemonheads called 'Wake Up In New York'.

And of course, I'd be incredibly remiss not to mention everybody's favourite Scottish indie popsters Belle & Sebastian's ode to the legendary figure that is "Piazza, New York Catcher".
