List of songs about New York City

This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2010) |
This article lists songs about New York City, set there, or named after a location or feature of the city.
It is not intended to include songs where New York is simply "name-checked" along with various other cities, e.g. "New York, London, Paris, Munich" (lyrics to "Pop Muzik" from the one hit wonder New Wave band, M).
- [Because Wikipedia is in written rather than audio format, the lyrics and music are usually the most relevant element of each song; so, when adding or editing a song, please list its lyricist(s) and composer(s) if known. When different artists perform what is substantially the same song, please see if there is an existing listing to which other performers can be added, before starting a new listing. Otherwise this list will become unreadably long, while failing to let readers know which songs with the same title (e.g. "New York, New York") are related and which ones are completely different from each other.]
