Of course, I think Tom Wait's "9th and Hennepin" was overlooked.

I'd add Di Lazzaro's "Porta un bacione a Firenze" [1] for Florence. :)

[1]We can translate with something like "bring a kiss to Florence"

A group of friends and I recently compiled a similar list of songs when making mix CDs to share with each other. The link for "my URL" sends you to the track lists for those discs, if you're curious.

It's ironic. I tried to buy New York, New York on ITunes TODAY and couldn't find it. I settled for Tony Bennett, not bad, but certainly not Sinatra!
