New York City, by They Might Be Giants

"Cause everyone's my friend
in New York City
And everything looks beautiful
When you're young and pretty"

I remember singing this song in cars in high school, when we were at our most carefree.

That is a great song. Although the version I know and love best is the TMBG version, I do feel the need to point out that it's a cover - the song was actually written by a Canadian, all-female band called Cub. Their version is pretty good too and probably findable on Soulseek or Kazaa or something. TMBG changed some of the lyrics and generally just made a really joyful version of it.

I did not know that. Thanks for the random knowledge.
