Title: Around the world by song
Description: Can we manage it?
Asp - June 4, 2006 09:37 AM (GMT)
OK, here's the idea, many many songs have got the names of places in their title. Is it therefore possible to travel the world by song.
You take the place name given before you and find a song title with a place name a reasonable distance away from the place before. Not stupidly far away, otherwise we'll manage it in 2 posts!!
The challenge is to get back where we started, after travelling as much of the world as possible.
I'll start of with 2 to show the idea:
London Calling (The Clash)
(There'll be bluebirds over) The White Cliffs of Dover (Dame Vera Lynn)
Some want to cross the channel now then?
