Music and cities
#1
Last night I was watching 100 best #1's on TV and it struck me how many songs are about different cities...
I could think of
Going to San Francisco
New York (of Course)
Bangkok
Durham Town
Scarborough Fair ...

Can you think of any more?

And what about well-known South African ones... Are there any?
Matjiesfontein?

I do not know any SA cities but the only one I know is Africa - Toto
