Friday random ten: The city never sleeps, part 1

The musical geography continues as we move from states to cities. If only I had at least ten songs about city-states…

1. Abilene – Yes
2. Albuquerque – Weird Al Yankovic
3. All The Way To Memphis – Mott the Hoople
4. Allentown – Billy Joel
5. Amsterdam – Asylum Street Spankers
6. Anahuac – Austin Lounge Lizards
7. Anchorage – Michelle Shocked
8. Atlantic City – Bruce Springsteen
9. Baltimore – Eddie From Ohio
10. Bangkok/One Night In Bangkok – Murray Head

“Bangkok/One Night In Bangkok” is from the “Chess” soundtrack, but it was also a hit in its own right for Murray Head. Note that nearly all of the song titles above are simply the name of the town. That turns out to be an aberration – going forward, most of the titles contain the name of a city but aren’t just the name. I don’t know what it is about A-name cities, but there you have it.
