Songs that mention your home town...

[konradv]

My hometown song, Hell, I wouldn't even post the POS:
"Busted flat, in Baton Rouge.....

The song or Baton Rouge?

Randy's not too popular in Baltimore.



Randy Newman- Baltimore

I'm pretty sure there are no songs that mention my home town. It's not like a big famous city that anyone knows about. So, I will play this one since it is about the capital of my state anyways.

This one does not mention Boston in particular, but there are all kinds of "Southie" innuendos.

Well you heard about the Boston...
It's not one of those
Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight...sh...
The one that closed the bedroom door
I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger
The knife-sharpened tippie-toe...
Or just the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler
You know, the one you never seen before
So if you ever meet the midnight rambler
Coming down your marble hall
Well he's pouncing like proud black panther
Well, you can say I, I told you so
Well, don't you listen for the midnight rambler
Play it easy, as you go

Lot's of towns mentioned here also, but 3rd town mentioned (Santa Cruz) is where I grew up.

 

[ChrisL]

Spoke to my girl on the phone today
She said she wish I'd come there right away
In Boston Massachusetts where she lives
Got to get there for the love she gives

Catch a plane and soon I will be gone
And I'll be in her arms before too long
In Boston Massachusetts she'll be there
And we'll be together everywhere

You see, I'm leaving 'cause I'm sad
Got a girl and I want to see her bad
You see I'm not leaving 'cause of you
I just can't stand to sit here feeling blue

Can't go on when I don't like this town
I feel so bad not having her around
In Boston Massachusetts where she lives
Got to get there for the love she gives
