Are there any songs about your hometown?
(Broadly defined: the town or city you were born in and grew up in, or spent a meaningful chunk of your adult life in, or are currently living in..)
If there are several or many, what's your favourite one?
“Dirty Water” by the Standells. Boston strong!
@nimh,
My hometown is mentioned at 2:20 - my native town isn't on that enumeration, but between 2:20 and 2:21
I do have a favourite 'home country' song...
Here's to the hardest working man in Show Business, Mr. James Brown

Ha! It took a special kind of song to get there, but that's amazing.
@nimh,
Didn't think my home village would be mentioned in any song but it's in verse four of this terrible kitschy number.

@lmur,
I'm in love with all these songs
