I always think of an image of the Whiteman orchestra playing it, from YouTube. Very prosaic. LOL. The Whiteman recording is undeniably Top Cat-ish.
New York actually sounds more like someone dumping a bucket of a million bolts - all at once. I like your vision better. There are considerable alleys everywhere overflowing with trash - and possibly cats, feral or otherwise. I would recommend visiting though. It's BIG. That was exactly my first thought emerging as a troglodyte from Penn Station under Madison Square Garden, opposite Hotel Pennsylvania, through my squinting eyes. "It's so BIG." I'd seen lots of pictures and movies, but I just wasn't prepared for the immensity. I wasn't a country bumpkin either. I gather it's weirdly deserted now. I think they all came to Boca Raton. Greenwich Village and Washington Square were kind of Top Cat-ish.
