[Biddlybee]

I thought of Funkytown... someone already posted it

 

[Dubversion]

I'm going to make it easy.

I shall bold the musical reference and italicize the place.



Raveonettes - Beat City
Southern Culture On The Skids - Soul City
Aretha Franklin - Soulville
Kiss - Detroit Rock City


see?

 

[Stanley Edwards]

it's not named AFTER music, though, is it, Stanley?

I may cry

Ah, right.

What about Disco Heaven?

 

[sheothebudworths]

Ah, right.

What about Disco Heaven?

Woo-Hoo!

 

[Dubversion]

don't know the tune, and i was thinking more about, like, towns and cities and that, but yes, yes - if you must

 

[sheothebudworths]

Ah you got to let him have the Heaven bit ffs Dub - you can see how keen he was to get it in!

[Part 2]

I like this game

Ramones....Rockaway Beach

(although that might be pushing it a bit)

 

[northernhord]

Bob Marley -Trenchtown Rock

 

[sheothebudworths]

Ooooh-hoooo...give those boys a peanut!!!

 

[marty21]

planet of sound. although actually that could be any sound, not specifically music.

yep, for that reason i didn't use that example

 

[Part 2]

The Fall....Jungle rock

(Or would it have to be Rock Jungle, or could it be a Rock where you'd go to listen to Jungle?)

Works either way! Very clever!




Please let a rock be a place Dub!

If it's any consolation, i can't think of any others.

Off the top of my head:

Albert Hammond: It Never Rains (In Southern California)
Joni Mitchell: Woodstock
Dionne Warwick: Do You Know The Way To San Jose
Barbra Streisand: Niagara
Linda Eder: Vienna
Frank Sinatra: Chicago & New York, New York
Linda Ronstadt: Livin' In The USA

 

[Spion]

Train Tour to Rainbow City - The Pyramids

 

[Dubversion]

Off the top of my head:

Albert Hammond: It Never Rains (In Southern California)
Joni Mitchell: Woodstock
Dionne Warwick: Do You Know The Way To San Jose
Barbra Streisand: Niagara
Linda Eder: Vienna
Frank Sinatra: Chicago & New York, New York
Linda Ronstadt: Livin' In The USA

nope, none of those count

Compare any of those with "Soul City" or "Funky Town" and tell me what you think..

 

[hammerntongues]

Suffragette City - Bowie
City of Tiny Lights - Zappa

 

[Spandex]

Cybotron - Techno City

 

[billy_bob]

Clash City Rockers?

I think I've got the hang of it but I'm just waiting for a string of withering noooes from Mr Dub....

New idea for a thread:
"What's Dub thinking of?" - and then we all just have to say stuff randomly while he goes "no, you're a cretin" "no, you're an idiot" "no, you don't understand" " "etc.

 

[DeadManWalking]

Funky Kingston - Toots and the Maytals

 

[cybertect]

I think I get it, but it's thin ground to work with...

Guitar Town - Steve Earle
Funky Town - Lipps Inc

 

[Dubversion]

Suffragette City - Bowie
City of Tiny Lights - Zappa

Nope.

 

[Dubversion]

Clash City Rockers?

that's borderline but it'll do

It's SO simple

SOUL city

It's a place named after or described in terms of music.

Similarly, FUNKY town

So California, City of Tiny Lights, Nutbush City Limits, Streets of London aren't even remotely the same thing
