Frank Sinatra (or even Tina) she ain’t!

It’s up to you non sequitur New York!!!

It’s the song by John Kander (composer) and Fred Ebb (lyricist)—but I never before knew the whole title: “Theme from New York, New York,” for a 1977 film. Liza Minelli introduced it on that film; for her it went to no. 104. For Ol’ Blue Eyes in 1980, 32.
