I was listening to "French Kissing in the USA" today, and my mind started wandering to other songs that have countries, continents, states or cities in the title.
So I guess that's our starting point -

Stitch, are you referring to strictly geographical-based songs from the 80's, or any era?
Posted by Stitch (Member # 2895) on :
Well 80's if you can, but feel free to go outside that decade.

If that was directed at me, how many times do I have to tell you that I've given up the 80s Avenger shtick?
Anyway, I have a few:

-"Nobody Walks In L.A" by Ashford & Simpson
-"China In Your Hand" by T'Pau (Just kiddding)

Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I want to be, Pony trekking or camping, Or just watching TV. Finland, Finland, Finland. It's the country for me.
You're so near to Russia, So far from Japan, Quite a long way from Cairo, Lots of miles from Vietnam.
Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I want to be, Eating breakfast or dinner, Or snack lunch in the hall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all.
You're so sadly neglected And often ignored, A poor second to Belgium, When going abroad.
Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I quite want to be, Your mountains so lofty, Your treetops so tall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all.
