They Might Be Giants - New York City video free download
"This song was originally recorded by a group called cub from Vancouver. The original version is an inspired piece of garage-grrrl rock. We took a little bit of the garage element out, and put a little more New York New Wave into the mix. The original lyrics were not immediately intelligible, so some liberties were taken. ("Co-op City" is used in TMBG's version, instead of "Alphabet City" / "Katz's and Tiffany's" was "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in the original.) Lyle Workman from Frank Black's band sits in on lead guitar."

I can't believe they modulate at the end but don't do another verse. Modulating up a whole step is a promise, and they don't keep that promise.10 years ago

Haven't heard this song in like 16 years. I remembered every verse. And teared up at the end when he's coming back to her. Love TMBG.11 years ago
