When the HuffingtonPost launched their project to map NYC in songs, we expected to see a lot from entries of Staten Island. OK, maybe not a lot, but at least some.
There are only three entries for SI so far and all are obvious Wu-Tang references.
That's it? There aren't any others? What about the Staten Island Rocker dude? He's in the picture --->
And runner-up for greatest Staten Islander of the '00s Terrible Tim? He has to have some songs about the Island that aren't entirely composed of penis jokes.
We know Rhett Miller wrote a song about the Verrazano Bridge. Does that count?
Are there any more songs about Staten Island? Does anyone know/care?
Maybe some aspiring songwriter wrote a song about Hylan Boulevard or Pleasant Plains. This is your chance to be discovered.
the Richmond Knights have a song called "Home" which is all about the island.
