How did we get so big so fast? An interesting and cleverly presented explanation:

I've just found the video I was looking for a while. No comment. I think it would be really interesting to study it in class and compare it to the lyrics+music of the song:

Here is Sinatra's song:

Here are the lyrics:

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York

I wanna wake up in a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it - in old New York
If i can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you - New York, New York

New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm a number one, top of the list
King of the hill, a number one

These little town blues, are melting away
And I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York
And if i can make it there, I'm gonna make it anywhere

It's up to you - New York New York

New York
