no, it's the one that goes:
London's burning, London's burning
Fetch the engine, fetch the engine
Fire, fire! Fire, fire!
Pour on water, pour on water

Ralph McTell wrote it and made it famous.

Walk on the wildside



Lou Reed's? "Holly came from Miami FLA, Hitch-hiked her way across the USA". How's that got anything to do with London?

Walking round some parts of London could well be described as walking on the Wildside.

Its not just literal...

Fergie's London Bridge? It isnt even in London any more!

You do know what 'Walk on the Wild Side' is about, don't you? If not, then I expect that Razor will be more than happy to explain :D

I'm pretty sure that London Bridge was still in London a few weeks ago when I went to Borough Market. Has someone stolen it?

I always thought that Bon Jovi's, "Midnight in Chelsea" was about Bill Clinton's daughter.

At a slight tangent, while looking through my collection for some of the mentioned songs I found the soundtrack to Wipeout2097, the Playstation racing game - tracks by the likes of The Prodigy (Firestarter Instumental), Fluke and Future Sound of London.

Better not let THAT one get on the MP3 player or its "Race On!"

Wipeout! Great games!

I was playing Wipeout 64 the other day- love it, though it's flaws make it a little frustraging. Great soundtracks though.

At one stage there was a band called London :shock:

I remember them supporting The Stranglers when I saw them in Brighton :tiesto:

(We won't go in to how old I was then, but it was in 1977)

Plenty of Pogues stuff. It tends to be their slower ones rather than the thrashier tunes though.

Misty Morning Albert Bridge
Rainy Night In Soho
The Old Main Drag
White City
London girl - this has quite a lot of place name checks and is probably the fastest of this lot.

Some more I've probably missed.

"Brompton Oratory" Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Absolutely the best song ever about smelling the 'scent of woman' on your fingers, whilst taking communion at church.
