Girls5eva | New York Lonely Boys Have Palates for Wasabi

Dawn (Sara Bareilles) is worried that her only child prefers earl grey ice cream to chocolate, his imaginary friend is a doorman, and his favorite song to dance to is the theme music to The Daily. Is there any way for her little man to have a genuine childhood beyond giving him a sibling and shattering her music career dreams? Or should she embrace that him being a New York Lonely Boy is a gift of its own?

Watching this show for the first time and I just about died laughing when this song came on. Doing it in the style of Simon & Garfunkel was perfect.

[SouthFloridaPBS]

The original songs are really funny and very catchy. This one in particular. Girls5Eva has grown on me. I'm hopping for a second season.

[chasegrebb]

Just now watching this episode. I didn’t even grow up in NYC but i am absolutely a New York Lonely Boy by their description. Maybe all only children are. It’s both my superpower & greatest weakness.

[MattB]

This song is like a Wes Anderson movie

Girls5eva 4eva! I'm getting a distinct 30 Rock vibe which bodes well for this show

[RaulAPinto]

If this song doesn't get nominated for an emmy....

[margicates]

Ah Simon and Garfunkel reference 😝
Well done

[mollydupre]

I just met New York Lonely Boy helping out at a dance class and I had to take a few minutes to drop fangirling

[gabe_s_videos]

I haven't seen this show, I just heard the song on my Apple Music Discover playlist today and assumed it was meant to be kind of quirky and funny for the sake of being quirky and funny, like most songs of this style. I had no idea it was meant to be this cynical. XD

The Strand is his Disneyland gets me everytime

[strawberryrobin]

I'm the girl version of this song. My only friend in high school was the lunch lady.

[coolbluesman]

I had to check to see if this might actually be a genuine S&Grfnkl number.

[STEVEDAMAR]

I’m a New York lonely boy. From Los Angeles

[calmercaninestraining]

How did I not realize that this song was MCK?! 😂

[davidomosa]

The lyric’s said “forget the Power Rangers”

[Buc_Stops_Here]

Hmm, do I want to pay another $5 a month for another streaming service, or dump Netflix or one of the other earlier offerings to get this? Not sure if I do.

[simpleton]

This is like the inverse of John Mulaney's "i saw a white lady standing on the street just sobbing".

[deepalmer]

Does being a New York Lonely Girl count?
