In case you forget, our fair city has an anthem. We never much liked it, though — it was cute in a nostalgic, old-school-Big-Apple sort of way, but it didn't really speak to the New York as we know it. You know what does, however? The new Madonna album, that's what. It's so dancey, so gay, so throbbing that it practically oozes NYC vibe with every trancey thud. And? It even comes with a brand new New York theme song, handily titled I Love New York:

I don't like cities but I like New York

Other places make me feel like a dork

Los Angeles is for people who sleep

Paris and London, baby you can keep

Other cities always make me mad

Other places always make me sad

No other made me glad, except New York

I love New York

Perfect anthem, right? We can't imagine anything more New York than this sort of musical genius, with lyrics so insipid even a tweaking Chelsea boy could understand them.
