“I’m the new Sinatra..."
Yeah, right :rolleyes: Just for kicks I googled the lyrics. I wonder if they put them up on video so the crowd can chant along? |
That is just horrible.

You've got to be kidding me.

Who the hell cares...

Oh, that's great. We get the "classier" version of the song. I'm afraid to ask what the low brow version sounds like.
I want "Sidewalks of New York" back quite honestly. |

After brief consideration . . . and some Woodford on the rocks . . . perhaps it's best that a song is used to which the crowd cannot sing along. Invariably I cringe as the TV mic picks up a segment of the crowd singing pathetically off-key. Last month I distinctly heard a chorus or horrible attempts during the playing of my beloved My Old Kentucky Home, which thank God is played (not sung) each year by a university band that does the job right. Note to NBC: A mic on the band ONLY will suffice, thank you. Don't put one on the drunks in the crowd. And while Sinatra was one of the best, the sight of folks arm in arm attempting to dance step to NYNY would be a signal that it's a good time to hit the head before the race.

That one is even worse. I usually couldn't care less about stuff like this but this song in either version is truly awful. |
After demise of NYRA and legalization of pari-mutuel betting in Georgia, Belmont will move to new Atlanta track and Ray Charles' rendition of Georgia on My Mind will be played... or Willie Nelson's. Damn, here we go again... or Sweet Georgia Brown...

I always thought they played "New York Groove" off the Ace Frehley solo album back in the late 70's. ;)

i thought people of all generations liked Sinatra??
aw well, change is always in the air |
