“New York’s alright if you like saxophones”

The group Fear recorded a song in 1982 titled "New York's alright if you like saxophones."

The song didn't have very nice things to say about New York City. Then again, Fear is a punk group with such other song titles as "Fuck Christmas."

I'm a New Yorker, but I have never formed an opinion on saxophones. I guess I like saxophones.
