... or ... unmissable sitter... "NEW YORK, NEW YORK" by Frank Sinatra... played over the tannoy at every Millers home game.

O OTTAWA Song - by 1970's experimental rock band Henry Cow. Clip on YouTube. They sometimes played and recorded with members of Slapp Happy , particularly singer, Dagmar Krause. (See my previous entry for "C"). Saw Henry Cow play at Sheffield City Hall (without members of Slapp Happy). Don't think they had written the "Ottawa song" back then though.
