Road Trip: Part II

[ravin_raven]

I decided to put a slightly different twist on this theme. I love that other people have picked up on it. I feel trendy and hip.

So, I have a whole playlist on iTunes called "Where in the world is..." where all the song titles reference real world locations.

"Philadelphia Freedom" was written in honour of the Philadelphia Freedoms soccer team, but it's really about American patriotism. Bernie Taupin is quite the Americaphile--he's been living in the US since the '80s.[/way too much trivia]

The more you know *little star whooshes past*

Hehee. Hey, I don't get to ramble on about Elton and Bernie very often, and dammit, I should. *g*

Haha, I love the Carmen Sandiego addition. I love Tom Waits and Dar Williams, so I decided to take everything else here as well, except Philadelphia Freedom because I already have it. :P

what a great collection - and i am so glad things worked out for you and your boyfriend.

Man, I wish Carmen Sandiego was still on. How on earth did they make a geography game show interesting? Stealing the mp3 a la Carmen style for old time's sake.

Hey, geography is hella interesting! to me, anyway, but that might've been cos it was one of my best subjects growing up lol

I love making place-related playlists too lol. But I love you more for your shoutout to "Carmen Sandiego" - I was just talking about how that was my favourite game when I was a kid in another LJ comm lol. I still rock geography, btw especially now that I can travel to all those places myself if I want XD Thanks for the playlist!

Also a big fan of "Philadelphia Freedom" - I especially like the 2000 Grammys rendition featuring the Backstreet Boys XD
