This old video finds new relevance in 2009. As the state grows increasingly powerful and more intrusive, the wisdom contained in this vintage animated short deserves a second look. The threat is no longer external, but it is very much alive.

1985) "You Belong to the City" is a rock song written by Glenn Frey (of the Eagles) and Jack Tempchin, and recorded by Frey during his solo career. It was written specifically for the television show Miami Vice in 1985. The song nearly reached the top of the charts, peaking at #2 on the U.S. charts. This song, along with Jan Hammer's "Miami Vice Theme", helped the Miami Vice soundtrack album reach the top spot of the charts for 11 weeks in 1985, making it the best-selling album of the year and the most successful TV soundtrack of all time. Frey performs this song live when touring with the Eagles. References in popular culture. The rapper/record producer Jay-Z sampled part of "You Belong to the City" for his single, "The City Is Mine". The song was used in a video tribute to the 1986 World Champion New York Mets at Shea Stadium in August 2006. An instrumental version of the song was used on an episode of the FOX television series Married with Children, when Al and Steve went out looking for a Barbie doll they accidentally sold which belonged to Marcie. A re-recorded version of the song was featured on an episode of the Comedy Central animated television series, Drawn Together, titled "A Very Special Drawn Together Afterschool Special". In the episode, the cast are participating in a role-playing to help Xandir, a gay video game adventurer, tell his parents he is gay. The song is featured when Xandir's role-playing parents are searching for Xandir, who has run away, and at the end of the episode, when the cast join hands on a stage and bow to the audience in a parody of the musical Cats. ______________________________________ Solo career. After the Eagles disbanded, Frey found solo success in the 1980s, especially with two #2 hits: the soundtrack songs "The Heat Is On" (from Beverly Hills Cop) and "You Belong to the City" (from the television series Miami Vice, the soundtrack to which stayed on top of the U.S. album charts for 11 weeks in 1985). His other contribution to the soundtrack, "Smuggler's Blues", hit #12 on the Hot 100. Frey also contributed the song "Flip City" to the Ghostbusters II soundtrack, and "Part of Me, Part of You" to the soundtrack for Thelma and Louise. During his solo career he had 12 songs in the U.S. Top One Hundred. Eleven of those were written with Jack Tempchin who also wrote Peaceful Easy Feeling. In the late 1990s, Frey founded a record company with attorney Peter Lopez called Mission Records.
