Musical Geography

Thought I'd give this a go and see what happens - can you come up with a tune or song that has the name of your city/town in it? Post a link to a site where it can be heard - here's my offering

Inverness Gaththering - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-DS_O6cul0


played on the bagpipes of course!

blatant bump to see if this takes off

I think this is a neat idea. I'd contribute, but I can't think of any songs that fit the criteria. sorry.

OOPS! Didn't see the part about linking audio visual...I'll work on those edits.

Red, I now love you because you threw Autumn In New York in.

I like the idea of this thread, but it seems like there are only a few places, like New York, that show up in songs often. I know what it means to miss... Baltimore.

It was just a matter of time, doll.

Not my current city, but I just moved away and it's still more or less home.
Also, should the name just be in the title? Or can it be in the body? Going with the latter here, though substitute any rendition of "St. Louis Blues" for the former.

Well, God bless your crooked little heart
St. Louis got the best of me
