I've got a big bet coming up in a few days.

I know about The Pretenders' song, as well as CSNY's, and the Fins song from Jimmy Buffet (She came from down from Cincinnati).

Any song lyric referring to Ohio or a city/town would be much appreciated.

Thanks, I just thought of the Pancho and Lefty song by Willie and Waylon.

Didn't the Red Hot Chili Peppers rhyme Ohio at least once, if not twice? I'm trying to get their lyrics.

"I’m the author for gangsters, tough guys, did the whole Ohio, but I started off a Buckeye.
Columbus to Natti, them towns I raped em, few clowns was hatin, moved my pounds to Dayton.
And in Akron my niggas they would grow things, not King James, these were coke Kings."

"If you know like I know, you should lie low, Killa, I used to get it in Ohio."

Big & Rich - Coming To Your City (mentions Cincy and Canton)

Bruce Springsteen - Youngstown

Johnny Cash - I've Been Everywhere (mentions Dayton)

I'm sure there's a few Bone songs that mention Ohio or Cleveland.

Those are the first few off the top of my head. I'm sure I can think of more once I finish up with my work.

There's a song they sing at Heinz Field. It goes something like this:
Cleveland Sucks Cleveland Sucks Cleveland Sucks Cleveland Sucks Cleveland Sucks Cleveland Sucks Cleveland Sucks

That would be a chant and not a song. Nice try though.

Thanks, keep the lyrics up.....back to Red Hot Chili Peppers, I keep thinking there is a song that may go "me o mi i'm rocking o- hi -o."

Because it is the RHCP, it isn't proper english, and I can't wikipedia it. Does anyone know that song?

How popular does the song have to be?

Red Wanting Blue is a band from Columbus, and they reference Columbus in their song "Borderline"

And again in their song "Jennifear"

A little off topic, but Bone/Crossroads might have been the best performance at a MTV VMAs
