Culturally Connected Songs

The other day I was listening to Sweet Home Alabama on the radio while driving a car. It made me think about other such American songs, like Wichita Lineman, Walking in Memphis, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Hotel California and many others.

However, they just don't work for British locations.

• Sweet Home Yorkshire,
• Burnley Lineman,
• Walking in Jarrow,
• By the Time I get to Milton Keynes, and
• Hotel Kent.

Nah.

That's not so say we don't have any similar songs. One only has to think of:

• Waterloo Sunset,
• Penny Lane,
• London Calling,
• Baker Street,
• It's Grim Up North,
• Wokingham Town, and 
• Fog on the Tyne.

Yet the romanticism and feeling of spiritual and cultural connection is not as strong.
