JohnJ Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Well, it's been a while since I was last there Chuck. Also, a favorite of mine is Horace Silver's tribute to my home city, "Tokyo Blues". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Well if it's a silly poll, gotta put a vote in for that Ian Hunter classic (or Presidents of the United States of America remake), "Cleveland Rocks". Okay so there isn't much to the vocals. Yeah, there isn't much else either, but it gets many a head boppin' and body rockin'. Of course, if one is seeking inspired lyrics that include the names of northeast Ohio towns--and I'm sure there are many of you--then tread no farther than the final verse of that Tom Lehrer classic "In Old Mexico". Come on now, everybody together... "Now it's fiesta time,... in Akron, Ohio. But it's back to old Guadalajara I'm longing to go...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
