"Back when I was touring as a trumpet in Frank Sinatra's band, we worked on a piece that drove us crazy, it took ridiculous amounts of times to perfect and it had a very specific style to it, the piece was called New York, New York. A few years later I was in Japan with another guy from Sinatra's band, and we were passing through the hotel's lobby, and there were these two Japanese couples, and despite the language barrier, I could recognize the melody as New York, New York, so I mentioned something to my buddy, he replied, 'That's not New York, New York. That's the melody, but it's nothing like New York, New York.'"
-Dr. Bob Baca from the University of Wisconsin
