I attended Columbia University's commencement this year, and "New York, New York" was the song played during the recessional at the end of the ceremony. Is that what they do every year? If so, maybe we should mention that in the article. AJD 00:22, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Who was the arranger for Sinatra's recording? And was the orchestra made up of all studio musicians, or was it the Count Basie orchestra plus strings? Roberthoff82 18:56, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

How is the Gerard Kenny song the same as this one, I don't see how they are connected. It seems they are diffrent songs with the same title? 74.65.39.59 00:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

You're right. That should be spun off into a different article. You want to do it? AJD 04:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Wait, actually: looking at it again, the article does say it's an alternate version of the same song. AJD 19:22, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it is. In Gerard Kenny's "version" none of the lyrics match this song (except the phrase "New York, New York" ... hardly a copyrighted lyric surely?) The melody is nothing like this either. I think who made the edit is probably assuming from the medley mentioned that the two songs called "New York New York" are the same, when all that happened was they were sung back to back in the medley. Here are the lyrics for Gerald Kenny's song [1] , I can find no resemblance between the two, other than them being about the same city. Furthermore the only credited composer is Kenny himself. (BTW I would be more than happy to write an article about Gerald Kenny's song). 74.65.39.59 21:21, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

All right, then by all means please do so. AJD 22:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
