Now it's always once upon a time, in New York City
It's a big old, bad old, tough old town, it's true
But beginnings are contagious there
They're always setting stages there
They're always turning pages there for you
Ain't it great the way it all begins in New York City
Right away, you're making time, and making friends
No one cares where you were yesterday
If they pick you out, you're on your way
To a once upon a time that never ends
So Oliver, don't be shy
Get out there and go and try
Believin' that you're the guy
They're dying to see
'Cause a dream's no crime
Not once upon a time
Once upon a time in New York City
If it's always once upon a time in New York City
Why does nightfall find you feeling so alone
How could any one stay starry-eyed
When it's raining cats and dogs outside
And the rain has said "now you're on your own"
So Oliver don't be scared
Though yesterday no one cared
They're getting your place prepared
Where you want to be
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City
And it's always once upon a time, in New York City
Music by Barry Mann
Lyrics by Howard Ashman
Performed by Huey Lewis & The News
©️1988 Walt Disney Records
New York sucks at the moment
Oh man, I didn't even realize it was sung specifically for Oliver. That's so much more touching 😭

Can’t go wrong with Huey Lewis! 🙌🏾❤️

@@northernking4787 glad to see people still care about this movie
I heard that even the movie itself was underrated: what’s so bad about adapting the classic “Oliver Twist” into a whole new way?
Who can't get teary eyes watching the intro to the film with this playing and seeing the twin towers together again?

Bethanne Shafer I remember getting into cats because of this movie. I saw it when I was 5 I think.
I did. I love this movie.
I had a 2" screen that played dvd's at my room about 15 years ago at my dads house. Watched this movie everytime i came over with my little sister... man the nostalgia hits me so bad
Me
Bethanne Shafer I didn’t, I watched it yesterday but I did grow up with lady and the tramp, fox and the hound, and Snow White and the seven dwarfs.
I remember watching this as a kid, but it hits harder as an adult with a family . These movies really had a message .
Jenny's hair is like Janet Ellis's!.
This song makes me cry. Half because of that sad ass opening to the movie. Half because the lyrics make me feel hopeful for my future.

Fix it, please?
@@Kawayoporu bruh
That's how I felt during and after I watched an anime called Romeo's blue sky, now if you want to talk sad watch all 33 episodes of that series and you will know what I'm talking about...
And also by far one of the best animes I've ever watched
Same here I cry myself too

Huey Lewis.
This has always been one of my favorite Disney films. Man, I remember seeing this in the theater like it was yesterday. I would get so excited every time I recognized a famous person who voiced a character. Billy Joel, Bet Midler, Cheech Marin, and of course, Huey Lewis singing this song at the beginning of the film. Good times, good times
Which theatrical release? 1988 or 1996?

Always crying when listening to this song
Huey Lewis sung it.
wow he sung his heart out with this one Oliver and company a classic will always be❤️😩💕💕💕💕🙌🏾
38 at the time.
Bruh, HOW did Huey sing this an NOT fall apart! Whenever I hear the chorus I LOOSE it 😭
He kept on track.
To anyone who goes to this video or any video featuring this song TURN AWAY BECAUSE THIS CAN MAKE YOU CRY
Why do you think I'm scrolling the comments?
It's too late I'M ALREADY CRYING
can honestly say this is my fave disney song!
I just couldn’t believe this song was performed by Huey Lewis the same guy who also sang both The Power of Love and Back in Time all written for Back to the Future.
Mind blown!
He was 38 when he sung the song.
Love this song and How Huey Lewis sings it. The movie is so cute!
He was 38 when singing the song.
*Interesting fact:* This was the VERY first song Howard Ashman wrote for Disney.
Honestly, I believe it.
@@tinkerbri1212 He died in 1991.
Wish this was a real music video even on mtv back in 88
I always felt this should've been released to radio
@@texashazzard7606 yeah it feels like a one week #1 billboard hot 100 hit like his last hits.

@@texashazzard7606 From 1988.
First time in forever when song from kids’ movie makes me cry.
Antti Nissinen I miss my childhood so much
Stefan Tomasi Ik, pal. I know.
And the rain says "Now your on your own"
I'm not crying your crying
Preston's Game Room I’m trying not to 😢
I’m not Crying. It’s these onions
Correct answer.
We're all crying
It’s so beautiful it almost makes me cry
My CHILDHOOD here! :)
1988 film year.
I'm not crying you're crying I just have allergies 😭😭 brings back alotta childhood memries this was one of the first Disney movies I saw at the age of 5 I still have the VHS tape of Oliver and Company I wish that Billy Joel would be on the track playin' the piano after all they were in MJ's We Are The World (Huey sings right before Cindy Lauper... Billy Joel sings after Tina Turner
One the most underrated Disney songs ever!!! Growing up in NYC, this always pulls at my heart strings.
Huey Lewis.
my aunt had a big case of CDs that were basically illegally ripped disney movies, and that movie stood out from the other pixar films, and it became my favorite, i remember watching it in my grandma's trailer while her house was being built on one of those small portable tvs while it rained outside, simpler times..
1988.
This is absolute favorite of mine next to Why Should I Worry. Its so iconic I love this song!! ❤❤❤❤❤
One of my all time favorites... This movie and story will always have a special place in my heart. I even named my now orange tabby Oliver, because of this film. 💫🌃✨ Oh the memories this movie still brings me, one of the best from Disney.
This and treasure planet have got to be one of the most underated disney movies of all time
I have a ginger cat, wanted to name him Oliver but couldn't at the time as my sister had a cat called Oliver D: So missed out on a great name.
Huey Lewis sung it.
Such a hopeful, positive song!
From 1988.
Anyone who hate this movie would have to be crazy
No fucking way. Huey Lewis sang this song?! How did I not figure this out a long time ago? How do you miss that voice? 😂😂
38 when he sung it.
How did we not get a huey lewis billie joel collaboration out of this
No chance.
Que linda canción,Huey Lewis una gran voz de los 80s
I saw Huey Lewis & The News in concert nine times, but they never did sing this song in ANY of them. I saw OLIVER AND COMPANY in theaters in 1996, and I have it on VHS, Blu-ray and DVD! I hope Huey Lewis does sing this at one of his concerts that are yet to come.
Sadly he can't due to copyright
Probably the same reason why Billy Joel can't perform 'Why Should I Worry?' live, because of copyright issues.
I don’t understand. They can’t perform one of their own songs live? That doesn’t make sense.
@@VictoriaHammond This isn't THEIR song, it's owned by Disney. They're just the writer/singer.
I saw it when it first came out three times in theaters in 88/early 89 when I was six and had some stuff even soundtrack and I remember being disappointed it never hit video for a long time as I had to wait for 8 years.
I did also saw the 96 reissue in theaters in Albuquerque with my middle school friends who saw this movie too when they were younger when it first came out and were too pissed offed it never had a video release but I did got it on vhs for Christmas at 14. I did replace the vhs in 2002 with dvd then got blu in 2013.
I’m gonna be 40 and takes me back
If I ever get a chance to see Huey Lewis in person, I really wish He can really do the song the way he did on the film. I also wish he'd also say "So My Darling" or "So little one" or whatever, instead of saying Oliver in the song, or I can explain to a friend of mine, who's also named Oliver, if he's okay if he likes how the song goes before or how I would like Huey Lewis would sing it.
This movie is just too sweet I cry everytime I watch it ❤️
Wish it was on Apple Music 😩
RoseRoyce it is!
And Spotify!
@@DyslexicChris Really? I searched and couldn't find it. What did you type into the search bar?
I had a 2" screen that played dvd's at my room about 15 years ago at my dads house. Watched this movie everytime i came over with my little sister... man the nostalgia hits me so bad😍😭
Relaxing music 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Huey Lewis sung it.
First time hearing this jam! Huey Lewis been a fan his for forever!
I’m back in time!
Used to watch this movie all the time when my granny would babysit me when I was little. Hearing this gave me goosebumps.
The most underrated Disney song EVER
Feels more like a song for an 80s or early 90s Don Bluth animated movie. But I still love it anyways!
Oliver & Company is an 80s movie (1988 to be exact).
Interestingly, this movie featured Dom DeLuise as Fagin. DeLuise was a staple of Don Bluth's films.
Fuck you don't sound like anything but Huey Lewis and the gold if you arent with it fuck off
I think Don Bluth was involved in this movie. Don Bluth worked with Disney too.
@@ryancentnarowicz Nope; by this time Bluth had his own studio. His "The Land Before Time" was produced and released at the same time as Disney's "Oliver & Company."
Still hits
I loved this movie as a kid and this song has a much deeper meaning for me now.
I think the personification of the rain is a brilliant literary device. I can only imagine how hard it is to get started in your career in NYC.
I love this movie then and now. Such great music. Huey Lewis is amazing and Billy Joel just love why should I worry.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry...
Shit... i made again...
this movie makes me want to watch it again; is always in my heart, this song.
I’m not an emotional person, it takes a lot for me to cry, but this song always makes me blub😂😭
Huey Lewis was 38 when singing the song.
I love this song
I always saw this movie on my goofy movie tape( never got to see it as it came out the same year I was born;1988) finally got to see it on the Disney app, I enjoyed it but that soundtrack is awesome.
This song makes me want to move to New York
Love this song and movie so much.
True singers will always bring the emotion out of you
Who’s cutting the Onions?
Huey Lewis was 38 when he sung the song in 1988.
nice. Such an underrated movie and soundtrack.
This song gets stuck in your head. It makes me want to go New Year City and pay a tribute to the victims of 9/11 and walk the streets where Law & Order takes place.
Thank you katyboe baty that would be appreciated I lost my auntie and cousin on that day 9/11 my auntie and cousin where on the top of the world trade center they were just about to leave when the plane crashed underneath them I miss them so much
@@edjuanleeth1049 I’m so sorry dude
Did that last 4th of July going again in December
Lol I should hope that New York City amounts to more than 9/11 and the set of Law & Order
I'd sing this as myself calling it "Once upon a time in Gotham City", for my (Harley Quinn) spin-off called "Sane", about Dr. Harleen Quinzell Napier aka Harley, Dr. Pamela Isley aka Poison Ivy, and Jack Napier as Harleen's husband aka Joker. There'd also be the original presented characters of following DC including Kiteman as the rising villain of this spin-off. wether I'm the hero in this spin-off with the help of Dr. Fate, like in Marvel's Dr. Strange if both Dr.s are into dimension travel.
Love the video, love the song, love the movie, love the singer!
Me too
Love this song
When I was nine years old back in 1988, I saw that movie Oliver and Company and I LOVED it. Mari.
I remember my father would buy every VHS we could want. He had his monolith of films. Titles I would ask about sometimes. I watched RoboCop when I was too young, for example. I thank goodness for that. He had enough money to give my sister and I Oliver And Company. There’s so much in these words that isn’t just about the subject. It’s about the kids that grew up with it. I was able to go to New York in Manhattan island. Don’t think for one second I wasn’t thinking about where I came from. Thank goodness for my father. Thank goodness for my mom. There’s no way it would be the same without them. Thank goodness
This song always hits me in the feels
Huey Lewis sung it.
In 1988 I Saw Twin Tower
13 Years Before 9/11
Thought this was a fever dream (although I do remember why should I worry) and that I know Huey Lewis is involved
Im this movie makes me cry in the best way
Reminds of a better time
Harley Powlesland 1988 was a great year of movies. This one, Rain Man, Die Hard, Last Temptation of Christ and much more!
Yes the eighties
4 decades back.
Being 29 yrs old now I can really appreciate this
I can play this song on the piano already!
❤🎉one of my all time favorite Disney movies 🎥 love 😍
The irony of Oliver and Company is thay this movie feels like a Don Bluth film, and the land before time feels like a Disney Film, despite created by different people.
the land before time feels like a Don Bluth film. Oliver definitely feels like the Disney that went onto make Little Mermaid.
Gera WallStar I think Oliver and Company makes All Dogs Go to Heaven feel like Sleepless in Seattle and a charismatic NYC story
I wouldn’t say either one really _feels_ that way. But they were definitely both _conceived_ with each other in mind (Oliver responding to American Tail; Land to Bambi, if a little anachronistic!)
What is Disney essence or bluth essence?
love the movie. Also love Huey singing the title song!
The opening synth is one of my favorite sounds of my life, mid-late 80's synth is warm, its calming. 20 some years I've been looking for Oliver snd company, it explains why i like huey and Billy
one of my childhood
Why did they make a sequel this movie was great it was and still is my favorite movie ever since I was a kid
To everyone who thinks that this generation’s children will never know about this movie or this song, gotta say: you’re wrong. I am gonna show this movie to my kids if I ever have ones.
Me too bro
I shed tears when I hear this song. The reason is because NYC is just not the way it was anymore. It is not safe: violent crime has become rampant and the subways are dangerous again. To me, it really is a “once upon a time.” However, I remain hopeful Eric Adams will turn things around, and I actually want to make a difference in trying to help the city get back to the way it was pre-Covid-19. We must “keep the dream alive!”
Little does past you know :(
Holy crap, that's the actual original singer? Amazing!!
Huey Lewis.
If i ever am fortunate to have kids, I’ll sing this to them as they grow.
Because it IS a hard life and “who can stay bright and starry eyed when it’s raining cats and dogs outside?” Answer: The strong can. And keeping your dreams alive, dreaming, most importantly , hoping, is how the strong survive.
This is a amazing music video! I love this movie
I'd love to know how Howard Ashman and Barry Mann ended up collaborating. Ashman was a massive fan of the 1960s classic pop/rock songs of Barry Mann with lyrics by his wife Cynthia Weil (his Little Shop of Horrors score references their hits like Uptown), so I'm not surprised that he'd want to work with Mann... And they're a great fit. Mann/Weil by this time had become successful adult contemporary songwriters but ironically, just a year or two before, had written all of the songs for rival studio Bluth/Spielberg's An American Tail (including the massive hit, Somewhere Out There).
What I wanna know is if Howard had any direction for who/how to sing this. Did he request Huey, or did they just put ads out in the local rag? I’d love to hear the two of them chat about NYC and the feeling of the song.
@@TheCapedWanderer I have no doubt that Ashman was at the recording session and did give Huey direction--unless for some reason he wasn't allowed to be, he always wanted to be as involved in the recording as possible. For that matter, Barry Mann liked to be as well-- I know the soundtrack in general tried to get a lot of then current pop stars (Billy Joel as Dodger being the obvious example but Midler, Pointer Sisters...) so Huey was a natural fit, but I suspect that may have been more corporate (or the directors) decision than either Ashman or Mann. But on the other hand, I wouldn't *be* surprised if it was one of their choices (Barry Mann in the 80s was still working with current chart stars)
And yes, I'd love to hear them chat about the feel and background of the song. Anything honestly.
*edit* no idea why part of this is crossed out lol*

Such great lines!!!
Today I learned there was a music video for this song. ♥️
Classic
This song makes me cry its so amazing
This song gets harder to listen to as I get older. Who what of thought of actually growing up, first time watching this as kid.
my childhood !
My favorite movie!!!!
Everytime I hear this song I cry and I think of my loving beloved father or in other words my dad he died of this year the month of March 7 2023 of ALS and it's been hard for me and my siblings and my mom they had been together for almost 40 years in life and we where originally from Nebraska and I currently reside in the state of Kansas and I miss my father alot he was my best friend somebody to listen to me my everything and he accepted me as who I am a 32 year old gay individual I miss my dad alot at times. There isn't anything I would do to have him back and all
So there’s actual footage of Huey singing this in the studio?
Skyler Broussard yeah its a behind the scenes off tv
J's movies N music I remember those behind the scenes featurettes
Looks that way doesn’t it
When cartoons actually taught you something
I still love this song. Huey looked so good. The movie was so good. for Disney .
Too bad he didn't have a voice as a character

Imagine Larry the Cucumber playing the horn in Once UPOn a time in New York City
Everytime I think about the beginning of poor young Oliver all alone and hopeless, I cry my eyes out. I imagine that Huey Lewis was God watching over Oliver as he sung, thus later, finding someone like Jenny.
Unfortunately New York peaked in the 80’s… happiness is no longer accessible there.
So unfortunate to hear 😕
Once upon a time, in New York City
When I first saw this as a kid I did cry alittle but then I enjoyed a funny movie
I wonder how Matt Smith reacted when he saw the 11th Doctor in a movie from the 80's?
and oliver learning to fly by the great singer tom petty he made these songs they will love you❤it is in your heart and my cat midnight is a goddess of the midnight sky
This song made me cry for two reasons.
1) I am a New Yorker (though I live in Texas now). I bawled because this is the New York I remember. Not this Democrat shithole that has been overturned by crime, drugs, and Covid. I still remember walking in Manhattan with my grandfather in August 2001, literally days before 9/11.
2) This brought back flashbacks of my own personal struggles in life. Won’t go into details here, but it makes me really realize how far I have come in life.
Still a banger!
