Safe In New York City is a song by popular hard rock group AC/DC. It is found on their 2000 album Stiff Upper Lip. The song is also a single.
The video to the song, directed by Andy Morahan[1], shows the band playing a busy tunnel in the city, surrounded and guarded by a lot of armed police guards.
The song itself is about a man's journey through New York City (probably at night) and identifying it as a scary place. The first verse is about the man trying to convince a female companion to accompany him. The second discusses the potential risks associated with going through the city, and the third describes an approach from a local woman wearing "tight assed jeans".
The track gained poignancy after 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City.
