But, since I can clearly do no worse than Starship, I would also like to mention that I like Kansas City by Fats Domino.

"They've got some crazy little women there and I'm gonna get me one..."

The mantra of feminists everywhere...

As for me, I like Kansas City.

Oh, and I forgot Devil Went Down to Georgia. Although I don't know if I'm allowed to mention the Devil on this board.

If you mentioned NU affectionately, now that would cause a stir.

That's a good one. But my favorite Lyle Lovett songs about places are:

Road to Ensenada
L.A. County
This Old Porch (more of a thing than a place, I suppose. Excellent song either way)

The Divinyls "I touch myself" - hey, that's technically a "place" isn't it?

Of course it's a place. I remember many a time as a youth that I'd have to caution my date to stay away from the pan handle.

Now, to complete the hijack:

Dang, man! Some guys have all the fun! As a youth, I would've considered it lucky just to have a date. To have a date that was interested in the pan handle would have been beyond my wildest dreams.
