My hometown. It takes energy to live there, and energy to sing this song. This song is energy. And who is more energetic than Liza Minelli? Well, don’t answer that.

Here, for your listening pleasure, is a unique version by Liza and (drumroll) Pavarotti. It’s energetic, it’s affectionate (love that city!), and it’s fun.

And don’t forget: If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. Of course, “making it” is an ambiguous term.
