Memphis, oddly enough, doesn't have an "official song," but it should given that it is, supposedly, mentioned in more songs than any other city in the world. Kind of a tough choice... you have the obvious selections (no need for Elvis or Justin Timberlake)...

• Video Link

• Video Link

• Video Link

• Video Link

Depends on who you ask though... a country fan might say one of these:

• Video Link

• Video Link

Meanwhile, a big fan of old school Memphis style rap might say:

• Video Link

...while a younger hip hop fan would almost certainly go with this... "901, Shelby Drive look alive look alive..."

• Video Link

... but really, you could make an argument for so many other songs too.

I can't believe I neglected to post Fats Domino's "Walking to New Orleans". He's already one of my favorite artists anyway.

Nice bump, I had no idea about this. I just posted an ATL video in a thread about Atalanta.

Always liked this one and nobody else ever seems to have heard of it:

That Ottawa theme song a few pages back made me cringe!

I agree with these mentioned already...Hands down!

NYC- New, York, New York =Frank Sinatra
Chicago - Sweet Home Chicago- Robert Johnson

Nobody mentioned this one yet for Detroit and I'm surprised. No major rock act skips over Motown! I'm throwing this down for Detroit!

DETROIT ROCK CITY!
