"New York" is a song by Australian alternative rock band Eskimo Joe, released in February 2007 as the third single from the group's third studio album, Black Fingernails, Red Wine (2006.

The director, Stuart MacLeod, commented "The concept basically was going to be a Bob Dylan-esque sort of thing, but instead of placards with key lyrics on, Kav was going to be walking down the street taking off t-shirts.

[citation needed] After a quick mock-up at home, the logistics of donning T-shirts in real time proved more difficult than anticipated.

In frustration, MacLeod hit the rewind button and the sudden flurry of activity saw the concept morph into a music video.

The flash of inspiration meant that Temperley had to learn all of the lyrics to New York in reverse and to not only negotiate walking and talking backwards, but to work his way through over 50 T-shirts as well.
