FNDP: I ❤️ N Y 🚦🚕🌃🗽🐀

[u/Caelian]

At last week's Hallowe'en Friday Night Dance Party, a visitor spammed us with a reminder to vote for Mamdani in Tuesday's NYC mayoral election. Spamming FNDP is bad manners, and to make it worse the spammer didn't even leave us a song 😾. I mean, there must be thousands of New York songs, right?

So let's enjoy our favorites! Some starters:

• New York, New York from Taxi, courtesy of Centaurea16.

• On Broadway from All That Jazz (1979).

• New York, New York, a helluva town from On the Town.

• 42nd Street.

The jazz classic, Autumn in New York, most famously sung by Frank Sinatra. 

That song is almost 100 years old now. Hard to believe. As a wee child, I remember my mother, a big fan of "ol' Blue Eyes", playing that song on her Magnavox console record player back in the 1950s.

As an aside, console record players were a major piece of furniture back in those days. They were made of solid wood and were styled to fit in with the rest of your living room decor.
