"New York, New York" is a song from the 1944 musical On the Town and the 1949 MGM musical film of the same name. The music was written by Leonard Bernstein and the lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. The best known line of this song is, "New York, New York, a helluva town. The Bronx is up but the Battery's down." For the film version, the word "helluva" was changed to "wonderful" to appease the Production Code offices.
It is not to be confused with the "New York, New York" popularized by Frank Sinatra in 1980 and written by John Kander and Fred Ebb for the 1977 Martin Scorsese film musical of the same name, in which it was performed by Liza Minnelli.
