I lived in NYC from the mid-70s until 1980. I don't remember seeing this video before, but I sure remember Ed Koch. He beat out Mario Cuomo in the election (who, incidentally became NY State governor). NYC was definitely a garbage heap at the time with all kinds of crooked rackets going on. Sanitation was owned by questionable characters, panhandlers everywhere, windshield "washers", hookers, etc... Much different than now. This vid brings back the memories.
Two questions: 1) Wasn't that song sung by the late Frank Sinatra? 2) Wasn't that song also sung by Teri Hatcher on one of the episodes of "Desperate Housewives"?
Cool, David Letterman as the pizza guy. :)I remember seeing this as a little kid, and the only one I recongnised besides Koch was Alfred E. Neuman :) Anyone know who the person sitting at Rodney Dangerfield's table is supposed to be?
Of course this won, it's about Jew York.

Thanks so much for posting this! I remember when this first came out. I've never seen my Dad laugh so hard in my life.
Is that Carol Bellamy sitting with Mayor Koch at the table with Alfred E Neuman?
