But it *and* the NY episode of Nobody Wants This both open with "NY I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down." It's also prominently placed in the new Spider-Man movie. Moratorium on this sync for at least a decade

It’s one of those great scenes they never play at award shows. It’s not obvious. But it’s brilliant.
