Inspired by a jingle and recorded in a closet, 'Go NY Go' has been firing up the Garden for more than 30 years.
'He wasn't scared': How Chet Holmgren became a perfect fit for SGA and an OKC team built for a dynasty"Go NY Go" brings many longtime Knicks fans back to the early 1990s, when Patrick Ewing dominated the Garden floor. desperation 3-pointer clanged off the rim and the buzzer sounded in Game 2 of the first-round series on April 22, thousands offans at Madison Square Garden screamed with glee.
"He just said, 'Now! 'Go NY Go,' and I felt the hair stand up on my neck," Monopoli recalled."I was like, 'Oh my god, this place is going to melt.' And it did.He wasn't exaggerating.
"There was a chorus and it was like, 'Everybody sing along!' and it just got in my head," Grunfeld said, adding that it was"very annoying." But it also gave her an idea.It was like this lightbulb moment for me. I was getting my bag together, and all I could think about was: We should do a song that people in the stands can sing along to together during the chorus.
'He wasn't scared': How Chet Holmgren became a perfect fit for SGA and an OKC team built for a dynastyNancy, I remember her saying to me, 'This guy is a sick Knicks fan, he's an up-and-coming performer and he has this great idea to write a theme song for the Knicks.' Jesse came into the office and played it on a cassette for us. It was me and Billie Streets, who ran game operations at the time, and I trusted Billie.
Fans at the Garden in 1993 weren't sure what to make of"Go NY Go" when it debuted -- with an antsy Jesse Itzler in the stands. A promotional cassette helped the song gain traction. I grew up in New York and was a die-hard fan. I remember staying up as a kid, every game, from 7:30 to 10 to watch the broadcast.
