25 Feb 11 - 05:03 PM (#3102814) Subject: Lyr Req: New York parody of 'City of New Orleans' From: Guernsey Pete Back in the late '70s'/early '80s' I heard somebody in New York, I think it was down at an open-air concert at the South Street Seaport, sing a New York parody of City of New Orleans. Age and disorganisation have both removed most of the song from my brain, and lost the cassette I had recorded it on. Does anybody have a copy of the lyrics ? Maybe even the original author ? I would be happy to give full credit to the writers if I ever performed or recorded it. |

But who was it from ? Was there something about a movement called "Peons for the City" mentioned in the persons' introduction ? It was all so long ago...... ....anyway, does that stir any memories ? |
