Boston Needs Some Recognition

Detroit had this ad:


New York had this song:


So I made Boston's version of Empire State of Mind. Jay-Z, consider yourself parodied. Sing to the tune of Empire State of Mind.

I'm heading up to Back Bay then down to Beacon Hill
Make a stop at the Bullets Bar and Grill
Southie or North End
I can hang out at the Public Garden

Hancock Place is bigger than the Prudential
We saw that Tom Brady had some potential
Provide you with Leverage
Here, Sam Adams is more than a beverage


Only thing we suspend is the Bunker Hill Bridge
We have our own band it's more than a feeling,
Raising alpalcas at the Boston Ridge
Nothing in this city's unappealing

Throw a punch with Rocky Marciano
On Survivor we got Boston Rob Mariano
Pack more punch with the Globe and the Herald
Rest in peace, John Fitzgerald

In Boston
Irish city where memories come from
There's nothing you can't see
When you're in Boston,
The chowder will make you feel so warm
After a signature snowstorm
Let's hear it for Boston. Boston. Boston.

I'll catch the T to a Red Sox game
Man I make the Sox jersey more famous than Pedroia can
See the Citgo sign above the Green Monster
Wave every ball fair, be that crazed fan

Get to the Garden
17 banners, 11 for Russell
Orr was the one with the most hustle
Maybe see an appearance from Tim Thomas

We love Revere and we don't love A-Rod
When Varitek stopped him it was an act of god
Capital building, not in Cape Cod
We gave gay marriage the official head nod

Faneuil or Fenway?
See the Aquarium, maybe some science
Even a planetarium
All that LeBron's won is a home appliance

In Boston
Irish city where memories come from
There's nothing you can't see
When you're in Boston
The chowder will make you feel so warm
After a signature snowstorm
Let's hear it for Boston. Boston. Boston.

Doug Flutie's hail mary
See me rollin' up in my Bentley
Past Dunkin' Donuts, I've got my Pepsi
Life's great here, even on a Wednesday

Feeling kinda historic
Catch a Duck Tour
Let's be honest here
All the athletes use it more than we do

Boston Tea Party, Boston Massacre
Walk the Freedom Trail
Catch a simple Pops concert
Post Road's the meaning of express mail

Cradle of Liberty sounds better than Beantown
Leary, Whalberg, Affleck, Matt Damon, Dropkick Murphys
Sully's sounds pretty good,
Maybe grab some beers in the famous bar, Cheers

In Boston
Irish city where memories come from
There's nothing you can't see
When you're in Boston
The chowder will make you feel so warm
Aftter a signature snowstorm
Let's hear it for Boston. Boston. Boston.

Two hands in the air for the Olde Town City
Home runs, slap shots, all lookin' nifty
No place in the world can hold a candle to

Boston!
Irish city where memories come from.
There's nothing you can't see
When you're in Boston
The chowder will make you feel so warm
After a signature snowstorm
Let's hear it for Boston.
Boston. Boston.


Boston is back on the map.
