Dappled Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) The Kinks' song Holiday in Waikiki link I won a competition in a little column in my local paper. So I packed my bags and flew across the sea all on my local paper. I sailed to hawaii in the u.s.a. I’m just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki. I didn’t realize it was commercialized when I unpacked my cases, Because a genuine hawaii ukulele cost me 30 guineas, And even when I’m swimming I have to pay. I’m just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki. Oh yeah, yeah. Across the coral sands I saw a hula hula dancer, looking pretty. I asked her where she came from and she said to me,I come from new york city, And my mother is italian, And my dad’s a greek. I’m just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki. It’s a hooka hooka on the shiny briny on a wake a hola[? ], And in a little shack they had a little sign that said coca cola, And even all the grass skirts were pvc. I’m just an english boy who won a holiday in waikiki. Oh yeah, yeah. In waikiki In waikiki Edited March 21, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dappled Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Dubuque Blues by The Association Do you remember Dubuque? Have you even heard of that? Half way between New York and California There is a highway in and back Plus an active railroad track And the west side of the city Sells no liquor Now I can recall the instances That hung it in my thoughts City parks, and night time girls With ancient limestone rocks (Chorus) Writing songs of rights and wrongs And buyin' penny loafer shoes Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got The Dubuque blues Do you remember Anna Sue? Have you even heard of that? She went from Tennessee To Minnesota When she was thirteen and I was ten And like a gentle Southern wind Well she made the moonlight shatter Through the maples Now I can recall the summers That we spent among the trees When there were no Monday bummers To blow my life of ease (Chorus) Writing songs of rights and wrongs And buyin' penny loafer shoes Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got The Dubuque blues Now the Dubuque blues ain't news To anybody Who knows sadness is the sweetest Of the pain Who can tell by just a glance That it's all over And who never cries Well almost never cries Do you remember nickel Cokes? Have you even heard of that? (I've heard of that) It's half between the forties and tomorrow Well I once considered it my home But now I know I'll always roam And if I pass through there again I will be lucky Now I can recall the instances That hung it in my thoughts City parks, oh the night time girls With ancient limestone rocks Writing songs of rights and wrongs And buyin' penny loafer shoes Oh, definitely, most certainly, I've got The Dubuque blues Ohhhh... I got the Dubuque blues ev'ry night and day I got the Dubuque blues I know it's back to Iowaaayy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Couple more for you to enjoy. There's also lots more that are just random non-Songfactor suggestions... we are up over 200 Songplaces now in the U.S., plus various other countries. We have only one for Russia, so if anyone's got suggestions for Songplaces in Russia, that would be great! Or even any other countries that aren't represented yet... go to Songplaces.com and look at the map on the home page, see what countries need Songplaces. Eric Burdon was born In Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne. The B-side of The Animals' debut single "Baby, let me take yo home" is a song titled "Gonna send you back to Walker".

Winds of Change, by the Scorpions mentions, Gorky Park, which is back in Moscow. Back in the USSR by those Liverpool chaps is almost a geography lesson! Vienna by Ultravox.
