"New York City" is a Canadian single by The Demics released in 1979 from their debut EP, Talk's Cheap.[1] William New of Groovy Religion is quoted in Chart magazine stating "Singer Keith Whittaker never really wanted to go to N.Y.C. Instead, this song is a gentle rib of fellow '70s New London Punks The Regulators and their Lou Reed fixation. The grass is not always greener.[2] Re-issued recently isn't it time to pay the band some royalties?"[3]
Keith Whittaker, Rob Brent, Iain Atkinson-Staines and J. D. Weatherstone.
It was named the greatest Canadian song of all time in a 1996 poll by music magazine Chart.[3] In the 2000 poll, the song dropped to number 5.[4]
