Hey peoples.
It's been a long-standing pastime of a friend and myself to make playlists (or CDs cause we're old) to expose each other to songs. We're both big Civ fans and for my next playlist just for fun I want the theme to be namedropping cities that appear in Civ 6 but I don't know enough off the top of my head though I guarantee there are obvious choices I'm forgetting (there's absolutely songs about weary world tours that basically every band makes but nothing has come to mind which is frustrating).
So, I enlist your help. Maybe it'll be fun for you to think of.
A few things to note:
-Being that it's tailored to an individual, rock/punk/pop is by far going be the best bet, but feel free to suggest anything. Who knows, it could make it.
-I'm trying to limit it to two Civs per song at max (maybe three if I'm really struggling to hit 20 songs), and America is covered so non-American cities only (but again, if you feel strongly go ahead, it might be better suited than what I have already).
-I'd rather the city be mentioned in the lyrics but not in the title, as I don't want to give away the theme if possible. Some exceptions will certainly be made but I don't want to overdo it.
-No duplicate bands allowed. You can still recommend a song by a band I've already included cause maybe I'll replace it, though.
-That's all I can think of for now but I'll save this space for an edit (I forget if I can do that here, I haven't posted in ages).
I have thus far (American city songs not listed, I'll decide later):
-Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits (London, England)
-She's a Rebel by Green Day (Toronto, Canada)
-Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones (St. Petersburg, Russia)
-Back in the USSR by The Beatles (Moscow, Russia)
-Going Down to Liverpool by The Bangles (Liverpool, England)
-Kyoto Now! by Bad Religion (Kyoto, Japan)
-Godzilla by The Blue Oyster Cult (Tokyo, Japan)
-Your Star by Evanesence (Lisbon, Portugal... soon)
-We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel (Berlin, Germany)
-Murders in the Rue Morgue by Iron Maiden (Paris, France)
-Voices by Matt Skiba and the Sekrets (Babylon.... Babylon)
-O Valencia! by The Decemberists (Valencia, Spain; though maybe this is cheating since it's used as a person's name [plus I did use this in the past but it's been ages]).
Intentionally unincluded:
-Amerstam by Guster (I used that one on a playlist recently already which is sad)
-Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by They Might Be Giants (just worried that'd really give it away; might make it the last song).
-The Ballad of John and Yoko by The Beatles (among others by them, because I'm using Back in the USSR right now).
-Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel (it inspired this list, but he went and put it on a playlist for me thereby ruining it, so We Didn't Start the Fire replaced it).
So, you got anything? Anything is appreciated! And regardless, thanks for reading.
