Who sang this song, and does anyone know the title of it?

Question

I heard this song about 10-15 years ago, and really liked it - I remember a little bit about it, but not enough to apparently figure out what song it is or who sings it...
It goes:

Once you (something something) in New York City,
You'll never (something) again.

It's like once you've tried extra crispy,
you'll never (something) again.

Sorry, there's not much to work with there, but i'm lucky i remember that much...what with the old age and dementia taking over.

Sorry - forgot i could give just a bit more - I heard it originally on a show with Vin Scelsa (sp?), a DJ in NY, the show was called "Idiot's Delight". Which it was. :)
It was a very catchy tune - not at all Christopher Cross, but i can see where you came up with that. It was, dare I say, disco-esque...? With an upbeat poppy trance thing going for it.

I know it sounds like i've got my genres crossed, but it was a very cross genre song.

Mono Puff it is - mystery solved - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Answer 4

I believe it's the Theme song to the Movie "Arthur" The song is "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" by Christopher Cross

Once in your life you find her
Someone it turns you heart around and
Next thing you know your closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left you went cross town
Wondering to yourself, "hey what've I done"

When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
Best that you can do
Best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur he dances, he pleases
Followed his life, he's masters choices
Deep in his heart, he's just, he's jester one
Living his life one day at a time
Showing himself a really good time
Laughing about the way they wanted to be

When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
Best that you can do
Best that you can do
Best that you can do is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
Best that you can do
Best that you can do
Best that you can do is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do
Best that you can do
Best that you can do is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
