Answer 2

Members of the so-called "Rat Pack" sang it. Include (I think) Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and may others. Some of the words were: "If I can't make it there, I can't make it anywhere"..."I want to be a part of it New York New york."Actually, it might've been a 1960's or 70's song.

Answer 3

Huey Lewis and the News ~
One of my all time favorite 80's artists.

The heart of Rock and Roll

New York, New York, is everything they say
And no place that I'd rather be
Where else can you do a half a million things
All at a quarter to three
When they play their music, ooh that modern music
They like it with a lot of style
But t's still that same old back beat rhythm
That really really drives 'em wild
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll heart of rock and roll is still beating
LA, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty pretty girls
All dressed so scantily
When they play their music
That hard rock music
They like it with a lot of flash
But it's still that same old back beat rhythm
That really kicks 'em in the....
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll heart of rock and roll is still beating
DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town, Boston and Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco, too
Everywhere there's music, real live music, bands with a million styles
But It's still that same old rock and roll music
that really really drives 'em wild
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I've seen I believe 'em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll heart of rock and roll is still beating.

Answer 5

New york, new york

Start spreading the news, Im leaving today
I want to be a part of it - new york, new york
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york

I wanna wake up in a city, that doesnt sleep
And find Im king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
Ill make a brand new start of it - in old new york
If I can make it there, Ill make it anywhere
Its up to you - new york, new york

New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find Im a number one top of the list, king of the hill
A number one

These little town blues, are melting away
Im gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if I can make it there, Im gonna make it anywhere

It up to you - new york new york




As composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb tell NPR's Jeff Lunden, the Broadway song-writing duo were called in by Martin Scorcese to create songs for the director's 1977 film, which shares the song's title.

Among the five songs Kander and Ebb had originally written for the film was the title tune. They played their songs for Scorcese and the film's stars, Robert DeNiro and Liza Minnelli.

The songs seemed to go over well. But then, Ebb recalls, DeNiro decided that the theme song "had to be stronger... and would we mind trying again?"

Kander picks up the story: "We walked out of there, highly insulted that some actor was going to tell us how to write a song."

But, Ebb says, DeNiro "turned out to be right."

Kander continues, "I think we wrote it in very short time and great anger."

Lunden reports about the song's origins for Morning Edition as part of Present at the Creation, a year-long series about the roots of American cultural icons.

Though the film turned out to be a critical and financial flop, Minnelli kept the song alive in her concerts. But it really took off after Frank Sinatra recorded his version -- with slightly different lyrics -- in 1980.

I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm A-number-one, top of the list

Ebb says he never wrote the line "'A-number-one.'... I don't even like it. But, you know, you're grateful to him, because he gave you this enormous hit."
