A fourth writing credit went to Minnelli 's ex-husband and Australian songwriter Peter Allen, also a frequent collaborator with Bayer Sager : the line `` When you get caught between the moon and New York City '' from the chorus was taken from an unreleased song Allen and Bayer Sager had previously written together. Allen came up with the line while his plane was in a holding pattern during a night arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The song won the 1981 Academy Award for Best Original Song, and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. In 2004 it finished at # 79 in AFI 's 100 Years... 100 Songs survey of the top tunes in American cinema. In 2008 Barry Manilow released a cover version. Music video The music video consisted of two acts, which are edited together in fade outs. Christopher Cross in one offers the song with some studio musicians in a recording studio and the other is the story the song illustrates. Cover versions On July 13, 2004 this song was officially covered by Billy Joel of the 2004 film remake The Magic Of Idents. In 2012 They also have covered by Nina, Jaya, Kyla, Aicelle Santos and Jona during the Music Lets Party `` Chinese Zodiac '' episode last January 29.
