I thought we were supposed to pick titles with cities in them. I'm seeing titles with states and countries now.

 

[indra]

If we could use states, countries, continents, and super continents and the like I could probably do another ten...same band and everything.

Then again I doubt anyone else really wants that....

 

[phillyfan26]

Life on Mars - David Bowie

Why stop at countries?

 

[indra]

Life on Mars - David Bowie

Why stop at countries?

True!

Well, hell, I know no one asked (and most will just go ), but since I don't feel like doing the other stuff I should be doing, I'm going to branch off into ten song titles with various places (cities, states, countries, continents, super continents, and planets). Same band (and solo and side projects by band members) as before.

I'm sure you're all thrilled.

1) Pangaea -- The Church
2) Atlantis -- Steve Kilbey
3) Heliopolis -- Steve Kilbey
4) China -- Steve Kilbey
5) Evil Queen of England -- Marty Willson-Piper
6) Field of Mars -- The Church
7) Texas Moon -- The Church
8) Midnite in America -- Steve Kilbey
9) Metropolis -- The Church
10) Some Lysergic Africa -- Steve Kilbey



(number 7 should get extra points for having both a state and a moon. )

Song title challenge

Thanks for all the replies, however I think I should have been a bit more stricter with the rules, as I've noticed some answers with states, countries, continents, and planets in them, or titles with the word city or town in them. I was looking for titles with THE NAME of the CITY or TOWN. This is because I was going to start a series of threads with this sort of challenge. So please can we stick to the above rules. Thanks.
