"New York City" is a Canadian single by The Demics released in 1979 from their debut EP, Talk's Cheap. 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. Re-issued recently isn't it time to pay the band some royalties?" It was named the greatest Canadian song of all time in a 1996 poll by music magazine Chart. In the 2000 poll, the song dropped to number 5.
