Memphis, Tennessee.

Home of the blues.  
Home of the King.  
Home of Bar-B-Que.  
Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll.  

The greatest city in the world.

No matter what you call it you gotta 
know that Memphis is mentioned
in more songs than any other city in 
the world*.  That's has to
mean something. 

I am attempting to compile them all.  
Contributions are not just welcomed, 
they are encouraged and appreciated.

Here is what I have so far.





*Yeah, yeah.  I know, you think that 
New York or some other hack city is 
mentioned in more songs.  Well, you're 
wrong.  And if you don't agree then 
compile your list and we will compare.  
Then you will see.
