  I went to New York on business about 10 years ago. My one and only time and I fell in love with the place. My mother told me I was not to walk around alone. I was never good at listening to my mom, so off I went. I explored Central Park, Strawberry Fields, the Dakota. Went in search of NY Mets cap and travelled the streets like a slack jawed tourist! New York City is the hottest place (a little Nina Hagen, just in case you don’t feature it!).

  That was a great song. Years ago (1993) I actually worked for Iain (bass player). I still remember once telling Iain “hey they just played your song on the radio!” His response…

  “Yay another quarter of a cent”.

  Hey Jeff: That was one of my favorite songs from the 80′s. The Demics were great along with Teenage Head, the Diodes and the Forgotten Rebels!

  Greatest Canadian Song of All Time is pushin it a bit dontcha think? I like it though, it definitely has that NY patina to it.
  Blondie, eh? Too late for my vote but if i had one i would go with Denis. But that’s just my 2 cents.

  As a born and bred New York girl (I was born in Manhattan), I have never heard this song before!! Having lived in Toronto for more than 20 years I can honestly say that New York City is still the place for me and I wanna go to New York City. I miss the pace every day. Unfortunately, the economic forecast for my profession is gloomy there hence I stay here in T.O. but that said, I am unemployed here as well. La di da. Hopefully, things will get better. I always tell people that New York City has the best and the worst of everything.

  Thanks Jeff for giving the Demics their due. Truly a great Canadian punk band and in their prime at the Horsehoe or the Turning Point a terrific live act. I too enjoy going to NYC (how about them Yankees?!!!)
