I'm trying to put together a charity quiz night and need your help.
I want to do a music round where all the song titles have towns or cities in. I have thought of a few but I won't cramp your suggestions by putting down yet.
Most of the people at the quiz will be 50+ so try to think of classics from the 50s and 60's
Thanks in anticipation of a shed load of replies.

I'm 43 and I was a big fan in my youth so I guess someone a few years older than me would know them. Realised late 70's so 25+years ago. OMG I'm old

Kinki Boots by Patrick MacNee and Diana Rigg?
I know I've just woken up but have I missed the connection here?
Yes. In the same way that Sendai (also mentioned in my post) is a town that sounds a bit like "sender" inReturn To Sender, Kinki is a city in Japan that sounds a bit like "kinky" inKinky Boots.

No offence taken - apologies for hijacking the thread. In future all Symon O'Una jokes will come with canned laughter so people know that they're meant to be funny. (Or, more likely, canned head-scratching and murmurs of "that's ajoke?!")
