Yella by Mr. Yellow. Tom Tom Club's response to people sampling/using Genius of Love, they produced this themselves. The instrumental version, with only the "to live in new york..." refrain, was recently bootlegged on one of the Music Box bootlegs.

and I guess, likely from being from the Bahamas, Mr. Yellow thinks it's cold in New York. It get's kind of cold, but not like, Canada cold. There are maybe like, 4 days a year in which I wish I owned long-johns. But the I know I'd get all hot and sweaty on the train anyway.
