OK, so this Friday's topic is metropolitan: songs with city, town, village, etc. in the title. We seek the general rather than the specific: "Cities" is OK, "New York City" not this time. You get the idea.
100 bonus points to the first person who can tell us (without Googling) where I copped the subject heading from.
Walkin' Thru the Sleepy City--Rolling Stones
Streets of This Town--Steve Forbert
Cities--Moody Blues
My Little Town--Simon & Garfunkel
Quiet Village--Martin Denny
Less Cities, More Moving People--Fixx
Big City Nights--Scorpions
We Built This City--Starship
