Let's see how many songs we can name about cities.

I'll start--I live in Dallas, so I'll go with "Big D."

Who wants to go next?

Henry Mancini and Leslie Bricusse wrote the Vic/Victoria songs.

"Kansas City" - Rodgers & Hammerstein
"Dear Old Syracuse" - Rodgers & Hart (that's Syracuse in Greece - not New York)

Are we talking about songs in general, or theater songs? (this is on the off-topic board, so I wasn't sure).

Thanks, ME!
I'm a big Counting Crows fan, so Omaha, Raining in Baltimore, Goin' Down to New York Town, and Miami are all songs by them about cities. Oh, Chelsea as well. Then there's New York by U2.
