The Inner West (Has All The Beautiful Girls)

this is the only song I'm aware of that namechecks Thatto Heath

The Bailiff's Daughter Of Islington is quite a nice trad song.

Will claim this though:

"i know that i's a rasta, but still i love mi dhal, i want something to eat from up in Debe or Penal"

Don't forget this one:

Oops, http://www.youtu.be.com/watch?v=WoVPbCZHB9o

This is more precise, vis a vis the area I live: http://www.youtu.be.com/watch?v=Pz6vndd0qTM... though I don't actually live in there

Fuck it, how do you do that

Well this one doesn't meet the "favourite" or "not stupid" criteria, but I don't think there are any other choices.

"ilkley".

(and several other places i have lived .. )

I mean my other choices besides "Cuyahoga" were "Cleveland Rocks" and "The Heart of Rock and Roll" so

Cheeseburger, why choose the '60 Miles' version rather than the space odyssey that is 'Energy in Northampton'?!

map ref. 41°n 93°w is about as close as i'm gonna get

"New York, New York, New Haven, Hoboken"

I went to college in New Haven and live in Hoboken currently.

More specifically, my girlfriend lived in NYC for school, I lived in New Haven for school, then we moved in together in Hoboken and have lived there since.

A couple:

technically I am from Hell's Kitchen - there has to be a good shout to that in a song somewhere

here you go, hurting

for some reason, I've always been tickled pink by Ghostface on "Apollo Kids" shouting out Raleigh-Durham International Airport

(NB I am not actually *from* Raleigh-Durham International Airport, but hey close enough)

I mean my other choices besides "Cuyahoga" were "Cleveland Rocks" and "The Heart of Rock and Roll" so

why all this when we have michael stanley and "my town"?!

for me "young girls at market" -- market street is where i went to elementary school!

haha, no way was I going to bust out "My Town" after taking a pass on "Cleveland Rocks."

I guess I could've gone with "In The Heartland," which specifically mentions Mayfield Rd., the first major street just north of my house.

it's about as close as it gets for me but this town is mentioned in two songs!

Moved down to Scarsdale, where the hell am I?

There's only one, Nothing Painted Blue's "Up With Upland".

I certainly wouldn't say favorite, but only:

though I do kind of like being reminded of when the guy who owned the mini golf course started selling all sorts of cheap alien-related paraphernalia
