"Dancing in the Street", "Heart of Rock and Roll", etc.: Are there any...
... British equivalents?
Over the decades, we've had songs like
Twistin' USA - Danny and the Juniors
Dancing in the Street - Martha and the Vandellas
Heart of Rock and Roll - Huey Lewis and the News
and I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right now that rattle off cities...
Then there's
Sweet Soul Music - Arthur Conley
R.O.C.K. in the USA - John Mellencamp
that mention famous rock and soul acts.
My point being... those cities and acts are all... American (afaik).
Are there any songs by British acts that rattle off fellow UK acts and UK cities (in celebration) in the manner of the songs I just listed? If not, why not?
