I never knew there where so many songs with city titles in them. I do know how ever that there are a lot of song that talk about cities.

Yeah, that's why I found the topic interesting because I knew if I dug around long enough in my music database I could come up with quite a list. In fact when I came over to this blog to respond to comment, I just remembered another 80's hit that I didn't include in the list, but I will add to it, "One Night In Bangkok" by Murray Head.

Tony Bennett:The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care

My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me

Very good! Not too familiar with that genre, so it helps to have someone like you add a comment with a particular song from a particular genre I'm not totally familiar with!
