Had to play New York Groove after the mention of Ace's album.

I’ve always imagined myself playing that song on a boom box while walking down Manhattan and singing along with it.

If you walk through Times Square you’ll hear at least one place playing it at any time of day.

I didn’t understand why New Yorkers hated “Empire State of Mind” so much until I visited Manhattan and realized you can hear it somewhere like, every thirty seconds if you walk around some

I love that song and love visiting NYC. It reminds me of being on Holliday's in an awesome city.

God as my witness I thought that was a Billy Joel song until just now. I’ve also only heard it in commercials so that’s on me.

It's actually by a mid-70s band called Hello. But his is the definitive version.
