“Moon River” (1961); “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (1995)
"Moon River" was written by Henry Mancini (music) and Johnny Mercer (lyrics) for the film Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). The film was based on a short story by Truman Capote and it starred Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly. It remains one of the most popular films about New York City.
The song won the Academy Award that year. Although its simple lyrics do not describe New York City, it talks lyrically about the moon and love:
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way. (...)
In the 1990s, the band Deep Blue Something had a rock love song titled "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Love of the movie was the one thing that the two people had in common.
