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(
As far as the hills of NYC, I think you'd have to be a local or have REALLY traveled the streets of Manhattan to know that it's far from flat -- it's more generally obvious in the outer boroughs. It's not little bumps that I'm referencing. There are areas that are hilly enough that snow plows get stuck on trying to get up. The whole West End Ave. area has some significant grades.... Doesn't matter enough to argue it, I was just sayin' NYC isn't flat like a prairie ;)
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
