A Gritty Urban Satire with Herbie Hancock

As someone who is a sucker for 1960s-70s films set in big cities (Gritty Urban Satires, as I call them), this video was very intriguing.  Someone took Herbie Hancock's "Hang Up Your Hang Ups" and married it to various pieces of footage from 1970s New York City.  I see many shots from "French Connection," "Taxi Driver" and "Kojak," and it's edited in the style of the open for "Streets of San Francisco."  At least the beginning portion is.  Really well done.
