Isn't this rollin' stones, shoo dooby, shoo dooby,? OK this is a joke. HA HA I know it's not the rollin' stones song Shattered. However, I think both songs had something to do with New York City.
AFAIK, this song has no connections with NYC, neither by lyrics nor concept.
(If there's any connection at all, it's not an obvious one because I don't see it.)
Sure it does. New Your City is the city that never sleeps, and Frank Sinatra had many ties politically, sociably, corruptibly, in NYC, especially in the night. He was no stranger to NYC.
I'm thinking "Strangers in the Night" by Sinatra, but only because I posted it recently...

Oops. Well, that's it.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean every song he does has NYC links automatically...
WordWolf is correct. About the first minute and a half of "lyrics" is variations of "Chaka Khan." I really started to hate that song when the DJ at my favorite nightclub would play it about once an hour.
Ah, is this "I Feel For You," With Chaka Khan and some rapper dude?
Pointer Sister's song I think....I'm so Excited and surely it's been covered by a zillion other people like Chaka Khan.
Hw/oB was on the right track, because the Pointer Sisters did record a
version of this on the same album AS "I'm So Excited." (Also the album's name.)
However, I actually got the title as well as an artist, so I got the nod.
According to Wikipedia,
it was originally a Prince song, and the Pointer Sisters and Shaka Khan did the only
known covers.
Well wiki didn't mention the zillion other people who covered it in karaoke bars, pool halls, taverns, pubs and dance halls over the last 20 years either did they? That's kind of where I was going with the zillion thing. And I didn't know that way a Prince song. Anyway.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Correct. I remember dancing to this song, often; but, other than the chorus, I never heard the words.

Given Human's earlier response, I'll say he had it first.

And every stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be

Odd, since I've heard "Homeward Bound" earlier this year and don't think I've heard
"I Feel for You" this DECADE.
*looks it up on wikipedia*
Interesting. The song version's credited to Shaka Khan with Mellie Mel of
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.
Hw/oB was on the right track, because the Pointer Sisters did record a
version of this on the same album AS "I'm So Excited." (Also the album's name.)
However, I actually got the title as well as an artist, so I got the nod.

Ok, next song.
"Well, there's people and more people.
What do they know, know, know?
Go to work in some high rise
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico."

BTW,
that may have been the real name of the song,
but John Cougar Mellencamp titled it "Pink Houses."
You know, when I was in college, I knew somebody who smoked these guys....

And I woke from a terrible dream.
So I called up my pal Jack Daniels

Speaking of George here's another one. (Not that George)

And I was about to give in
But that's when she started

My honey, my baby, don't put my love upon no shelf!
She said, "Don't hand me no lines, and
Keep Your Hands to Yourself."
As you mentioned, also George Thorogood.
Next song.
"My love bigger than a Cadillac.
I'll try to show it when you're driving me back.
Your love for me got to be real.
A-for you to know just how I feel."
