King or Queen, after all it's not bimorph.... ;o)

A childrens game? I only know the expression from some american song about New York where Frank Sinatra claims he is or would be a king of the hill. I always wondered where in New York is a hill......

Oh, okay, I know there are little landscaped bumps and things in the park, but if you are honest, in New York you are supposed to get up that big statue or one of the mot famous highrises to look down. So, to be the king of a hill there in some song makes very little sense, unless the whole number was once written for example for LA, Rio, or some place in Europe with a famous natural look out -- or it is a figure of speach that means something entirely different than a real existing hill.
If you put the term into a search engine however you get only websites about some sort of animated sitcom playing somewhere in Texas that sounds just awful and extremely booring and looks like drawn by a young child, but must be decades newer than the song. Hill seems to be only the lastname of the main simpleton and his family. :o(

Oh, you mean something like "Ochs am Berg" here? Gosh, I hated that when I was smal enough that anyone expected me to get involved! All the running and yelling....
Well, in the years in America we never had personal friends with smaler children. All I remember about such games is occassionally something called "Marco Polo" the kids of strangers played often in apartment or hotel pools. No idea if it had rules but they often swam with the head under water, than stood up straight and yelled that.

I have to believe the inhabitants, but I was only once n New York and saw only a few of the main attractions and a very limited areal at the suburbian outskirts somewhere with not much view. It ws hazy, a lot of the transportation happened below ground and on the old World Trade Center the land seemed somehow to vanish in a cloud just beyond Crysler Building anyway. . I recall to have walked up and down a few times but mostly ramp-like stuff and stairs near a ferry port and such where you expect the land to rise steeply, especially if the land has houses with basements and an underground tram. Anyway thay was long ago, more than 20 years. I can really not recall other hills -- I just saw enough do be not really as enthused as Mr. Sinatra with his song. But then I am never honestly enthused when I see a big city. It's a obligation to have seen a few I guess, and sometimes I love to see places with impressive architecture, but its usually a lot better when they downsized since their Heydays somewhat like Arausio or Carnuntum -- LOL
