This is an adaptation of the "Theme from New York, New York," sung in the 1977 film by Liza Minelli and later made famous by Frank Sinatra. The music is by John Kander and the lyrics by Fred Ebb. Like many adaptations into French, what were clever lyrics in the original English version become rather banal in the French version. In particular, the imagery of New York City that pervaded Fred Ebb's lyrics here became rather hamstrung and ridiculous. Perhaps that is why so many of the French words (for example, claquer, crouler, and even plaire) can't readily be translated back into English.
