When people in NYC say 'fuck you' it means fuck you!!! In other words we say what we mean. The left (eventhough I love it there) is all about an illusion. They say one thing and they mean another thing.

As per music choices... Go classic jazz with "if you take the A train"

nycad

Bobby Darin, "Sunday in New York"
Ella Fitzgerald, "Manhattan"
Babs Gonzales, "Dem Jive New Yorkers"
Taxi Driver soundtrack
Tom Waits, "Downtown Train," "I'll Take New York"
Jimmy Reed, "Goin' to New York"
Rolling Stones, "Shattered"

...and much as I love Sinatra, his "New York, New York" is too obvious--seek out the versions by Cat Power or (bonus hepness points) Nico.

Life's Fantastic!!!

This is more like the real Noo Yawk (from "Get Shorty):

Limo Driver With Sign: Mr. Barbone? Welcome to L.A., I'm Bobby, your driver. I hope you had a pleasant flight.
Ray "Bones" Barboni: Yeah well, I hope you drive better than you fucking spell, jack-off. My name is Barboni, not Barbone, okay!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray "Bones" Barboni: I'm from Miami-fuckin'-Beach and you wanna show me the ocean, huh? And what about sun, does it ever shine around here, or is this smog around all the time?
Limo Driver With Sign: They say the smog is the reason we have such beautiful sunsets.
Ray "Bones" Barboni: That's what they say, huh? What a bunch of fuckin bullshit.

I LOVE NOO YAWK!

Damn! And I was invited to go to NY this week while I was off work.  Would've loved to seen Brennan.
