Poughkeepsie — City of Sin (Batteries Not Included, 1980).
This cult classic is about the town where I grew up. Although Batteries Not Included first recorded the song in the slide-show video, below, in 1980 (or something like that), the video was recorded in 2010. Most of you will recognize several of the people in the video.

“Under the Boardwalk” - Drifters 1964
Of course, this song could have been sung about any of the NJ beach towns with a boardwalk.
