FYI – i know this breaks the rules of the game, but the best song ever about NYC is dylan's "hard times in new york town"

Any song that mentions Winslow, AZ, and is not performed by The Eagles or Jackson Browne must be disqualified.

Texarkana - REM (I don't think they actually mention the town in it though)
True. That's b/c the title came from Stipe, but Mills wrote the lyrics, which have nothing to do with Texarkana.

One of the better NY anthems out there IMO:
Rolling Stones - Shattered (NYC, Manhattan - I can't give it away on 7th Avenue!)

A Tribe Called Quest - Award Tour (Delaware, MD, DC, Dallas . . . . right . . . true - plus too many other cities to name)
