Shame (2011) Soundtrack - New York, New York "Theme"

Composed by John Kander, written by Fred Ebb, cover by Carey Mulligan and Liz Kaplan. A soundtrack of 2011 film Shame. I hold no rights for this song.

Editing #2: I'm looking at somewhere like 249,062 hits while I'm editing this description. Considering the movie isn't all that popular, this video's leg is quite surprising. Again I 'thank' people, and also the talents that were put in this song, despite of some brats who whined about my 'thanking' ppl that must not have experienced the case I had with this video.

Edit: Over 150,000 hits? SERIOUSLY??? I totally didn't expect this and dunno what to say but, well, thanks everyone, enjoy the song, and this movie is marvellous. Make sure you watch it on DVD or Blu-ray or in whatever legal way.

Still can't believe that people discussing this movie on IMDB thought this scene and singing was awful. How could you possibly think this was bad?

[team56th]

IMDB forums in general are way too full of trolling. I never take them seriously.

Cheap movies make you cry with pitty or a simple happy conclusion. good movies make you cry when a character has earned your investment and care then sees tragedy or success. Great movies make you cry with scenes like this. I don't care if the oscars or anybody else for that matter passes up on this movie, It'll stay with me and I will treasure it. Thank you Steve, Michael, Carey and everyone else.

Is it just me that thinks this is a shit cover?

[GregoriousGregori9]

When she sings this in the film it's so haunting & so painfully beautiful It's one of the most powerful scenes in the film

[Todd Boden]

Sorry, this is pretentious and amateur and quite horrible to my ears. Check out Cat Powers cover of New York, New York

Didn't realize how cool were the lyrics of this song until the day I saw Shame..

[RosesofYuriki]

When I saw this scene, I thought she sounded lovely. It was like she was singing it to herself to assure herself that she can make it. But the rest of the film made me cringe...

[Sheik Yerbutti]

Brilliant reharmonization of a venerable standard, kudos to both

[shrew972]

great scene, bad movie, brilliant theme suite ;)

[The67Russia]

I would certainly agree. This was an amazing scene. So beautiful, uncomfortable and desperate at the same time. Putting this long of a song in a movie is certainly a risk, but it paid off here. They emotion would have been lost had it been edited.

[Wang Chen]

I like this feeling.
