In February 2007, the International Association of Fire Fighters issued a letter asserting that Giuliani rushed to conclude the recovery effort once gold and silver had been recovered from World Trade Center vaults and thereby prevented the remains of many victims from being recovered. The letter stated "Mayor Giuliani's actions meant that fire fighters and citizens who perished would either remain buried at Ground Zero forever, with no closure for families, or be removed like garbage and deposited at the Fresh Kills Landfill, before adding: "Hundreds remained entombed in Ground Zero when Giuliani gave up on them."[161] Lawyers for the International Association of Fire Fighters seek to interview Giuliani under oath as part of a federal legal action alleging that New York City negligently dumped body parts and other human remains in the Fresh Kills Landfill.[

They still despise him for this. So much that disco-funk bands like !!! even mocked him... this ol' tune reminds me of those days.
(lyrics)
Well the way I see it, it doesn't really matter
'Cause it don't make no sense to all those mad Manhatters
But I do believe that there must come a moment
When even the piggiest pig must get on up and move it
I got this friend named Neil, swears Nixon had a soul
But what I'd like to know is can Giuli' do the stroll?
(instrumental break)
People always ask me, "What's so fucking great about dancing, dancing?"
How the fuck should I know?
Yeah, even I can barely understand it, understand it
But the music takes over
The music takes control
Well, here's a message to you Rudy and to you sir, Mr. Bloomberg and the rest of you ties-too-tight dudes
Y'all could learn a lesson, losing inhibitions, yeah
Losing yourself in the music, losing yourself in the moment
Because we have nothing more than this very second
You can't count on the one coming after, no one's sure about the one before
So forget about it, we live here and now dude
Here and now, here and now, here and now
So get on down down down down down down down down down down down down down down

New York City is where the freaks come to be free
And if I can't get my freak on, see
I'ma hang up Giuliani
He can sic his lackeys on me
But you can't stop a new age dawning
Yeah
So if you got hips, shake 'em
And if you got fears, forsake 'em
Giuliani's got his rules but we ain't no fools
Let's break 'em
Yeah, yeah
So if you got hips, shake 'em
And if you got fears, forsake 'em
Giuliani's got his rules but we don't give a shit
Let's break 'em
Let's, let's, let's break 'em
Let's break 'em down
And on the way
We'll make 'em say, make 'em say
Everybody cut
Everybody cut
Everybody cut, footloose
Now everybody cut
And shake that butt
And on the way
We'll make 'em say, make 'em say ...
