Music

    * The song "The Evil Has Landed" by American Thrash metal band Testament from their 2008 release The Formation of Damnation was written about the 9/11 attacks. It includes lyrics such as "The towers got hit, a steel bird with wings of destruction".
    * "New York, New York" is a song composed and performed by American alt-country musician Ryan Adams. The song's music video shows Adams performing in front of the city's skyline, and features the World Trade Center visible from across the East River, from Brooklyn where Adams is for the majority of the video. It was filmed just four days before the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. Because of this, profits of the video went to a 9/11 charity, as well as a message written at the end of the video giving tribute to those who lost their lives.
    * The twin towers of the World Trade Center briefly appear twice in the music video to R.E.M.'s 1989 single "Stand".
    * The World Trade Center appears behind and to the left of the Empire State Building on the front cover to the Oasis album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.
    * Stevie Wonder's video for his 1985 hit song "Part-Time Lover" shows the twin towers in the background (at night) while he is singing.
    * The Twin Towers are shown in some of Madonna's music videos, such as "Like a Virgin," "Papa Don't Preach," and "Ray of Light."
    * The World Trade Center appears in the music video for Blondie's hit "Heart of Glass."
    * In Al B. Sure's music video "Nite and Day", the towers are shown.
    * The towers can be seen in Zhane's "Vibe" music video.
