"I wrote this song for you"

[Pacion]

Today, I was in high spirits (yes, higher than usual :lol: ) and I was singing "New York, New York" yes, all day! :? :lol:

I started thinking - what other cities, towns or states have had songs written for them or mentioning their name? These are the ones I can think of. Can anyone think of any others? It does not matter which language it is sung in and yes, you get "extra points" if you can name the singer :wink: :lol:

- New York, New York - Frank Sinatra
- Chicago, a wonderful town (I will need someone to confirm the title please, not in the mood to Google :shock: :lol: )
- I love Paris (in the Springtime)
- Brazil
- Sweet Home Alabama
- Ich hab' meine Herz in Heidelberg verloren (I have lost my heart in Heidelberg)
- Give me hope, Johanna (Joanna referring to Johannesburg, South Africa) - Eddie Grant
- The Rain in Spain - from My Fair Lady

Orinoco Flow by Enya. The name of the location where I live is in the lyrics.
