I don't get it. The song "Empire State of Mind is certainly alot better than "the :rolleyes:Sidewalks of NY".

How can anyone detest ESM with Alicia Keyes singing?
Maybe not JZ.
But I've seen and heard Keyes performing that song and it is a great replacement for those tired old songs..like Sinatra.

In hindsight it was a fitting change in light of the lousy coverage by ABC.

Old Blue Eye's "New York, New York" would have outclassed the network.

I understand that negotiations are underway right now for Roseanne Barr to sing next year's song. The song will be selected by poll of left-handed horseplayers. :zz: "Enter Sandman" by Metallica is leading headed into clubhouse turn.

Do we have any idea what's gonna happen with this year's song yet? Is it back to New York, New York? Or do we have to suffer through last year's debacle again?

Neither.

They've predicted wind and it's now cancelled.

We got through this year's Super Bowl Star Spangled Banner - we'll get through another bad performance of whatever song they decide to sing at Belmont. Frankly, I don't much give a damn - other more important things than a stupid song.

I agree - I miss that, too :)

If I had any pull at all .... Presque Isle Downs would play 'The Erie Canal Song' during the post parade of the Masters.

'Cause you bet your life
I'd never part with Sal
Fifteen Miles on the
Erie Canal

Interesting song.

Sal is a mule!

You're discovering that at this late date?

:D

It only occurred to me to ask because some horse folks on Twitter were talking about it. I think "Empire State of Mind" was Gov. Patterson's doing. I guess they'll decide on it later.

Springsteen did a mean version of Erie Canal at a concert in London. Got them singing along at the chorus which is strange because you don't expect them to know it.

Book your seats at the Cafe early.

Well, I guess it depends on your meaning.

The Sal here, yeah, I knew.

As for the song? Never even heard it before!
