Request Line: Cities

 

I’m pressed for time, so there will sadly be no introductory sketch for Request Line this week.  Last week’s theme was “Makin’ Movies” and quite naturally that topic bled into songs about Hollywood.  So I thought I’d extend that theme into this week and make this week’s topic all cities.  Since it’s such an absurdly rich topic, and since the draft is fast approaching, I’m adding a twist – once a city has been selected, it is OFF THE BOARD.  If you’re selecting a song that doesn’t include the city name in the title, make sure you put that city name IN YOUR COMMENT so other folks will know it’s been taken.  I’ll get us started by taking my current hometown of Los Angeles off the board with the classic from X.

Washington DC does not appear to be taken.

And you’re getting a DOUBLE SHAWT because both of these songs are fantastic.

I get the hate for NJ Guidos, but at least allow me to post a song insulting them.

Seaside Tony in moderation. I think that might be one of those axmorons.

Damn. This is what I get for spending my morning actually working.

I’m pulling a WILD CARD move and posting my own song about San Diego, (I think I can skirt the rules because they also mention Oceanside):

Surprisingly no mention of BBQ for Kansas City.

Back for another double, but this second shot is already a double on it’s own. Confused, so am I.

Putting the whole ABBA medley here because I enjoy The Dan Band. And it counts because of Waterloo.

No. It is not.

Since London was taken (twice), can I shoehorn this in due to running amok in Kent?

Here’s La Grange, which I always assumed was in Louisiana but now don’t know if that’s right:

I think it is actually in Texas.

Does that mean Angel Island is also off the board? (No seriously, Michael Jackson worked on Sonic 3.)

Silver Springs is not just some random place in Maryland, it’s also (MAYBE!) my favorite Fleetwood Mac song.
