We're not the only ones with New York issues

From the City of Brotherly Love, Philebrity warns:

... There's a reporter from the NY Times going 'round right now talking to all the young hot NYC transplants in an effort to push this whole "sixth-borough" nonsense straight into the Sunday Styles section. Our recommendation? If you see him, "lie" and tell him the truth: That you're really from the Lehigh Valley and you're no more a New Yorker than you are a Philadelphian. Or vice versa.

It's especially silly because New York already has a sixth borough. In fact, it has more than one: here and here (and possibly here). Then again, who can forget that Philly is "like a baby New York" - just with more cheesesteak?

Culture

Yeah, Philly has a lot, a lot of culture.

Is there anybody ...

Who can't recite that commercial by heart? All that was missing was some brain-rotting jingle. Hey, it would work with the Water Country and Bernie & Phyl jingles:

Philadelph-yuh. Philadelph-yuh. HAVE SOME FUN!

Liberty, cheese steak and price: That's Nice!

Haha

Now I've got the Bernie & Phyl's song stuck in my head, but with your Philadelphia lyrics.
