It is all about New York (Just ask Bina)

If You have not seen Stephen Colbert's duet with Alicia Keys check out Bina's post from a few days ago. Now it appears everyone is getting in on the game. And while folks from New York will tell you there is only one "real" city, CNN reports there are more than 100 remixes of Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" online. Most are rewritten for other cities. I'll take their word on the numbers, but just go to You Tube and search "empire state of mind" and any your city. You're likely to find something.
Below is one that made me laugh, an ode to the 6,000-person farm town of New Holland in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
"I thought it would be really cool to make a song about my hometown, which is the exact opposite of New York City," said college student Matthew Besson, who wrote "New Holland State of Mind."
