We've done "The world and places in it" before, but this time, it will be limited to cities.

Post songs about cities! Cities can be in the title or mentioned in the lyrics.

When this song came out, my brother Mike used to sing along with it, but he would sing "Halloween, Halloween, prettiest time I've ever seen. Women then will treat you mean, at Halloween." I think Mike was about six or seven at the time, and he had been to Abilene, Texas, but I believe this song is about Kansas.

Funny - I've been listening to Comin' Home Baby lately and didn't think of it for this thread until you reminded me. Love that tune 😃 Here's Mel doing it - that's the one I know, but it's been covered by plenty of others as well.

I'm such a hippy, can't help but love the sentiments in this song:

...

And there'll be no barricades then
There'll be no wire walls
And we can wash all this blood from our hands
And all this hatred from our souls
And I believe that on that day
All the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem

Lars, you reminded me of this Chuck Berry tune - another song about Memphis...

I like the Johnny Rivers version the best.

And I don't recall seeing this one yet - Tulsa...

Another by Bacharach - "Spread your wings for New Orleans..."

Composed by Mexican composer Agustin Lara.

This is a Neapolitan song composed in 1894 by Italian musician Ernesto De Curtis to words by his brother, the poet and painter Giambattista De Curtis, which I cannot understand, as I do not understand much of Neapolitan.

TBH, I totally forgot about that song until you shared it, Lars 😃

And it made me think of this one from the late great Martin Mull...

Am I in heaven, or am I in Miami?

And here's another song about Miami from Wayne Cochran...

The bigger the hair, the closer to God 😀

I thought someone had posted this, but I checked, and no one had. I must have been thinking of a different thread. This is one of my all time favorite videos.
