"I'm the B, the r to the double e-d and
Down with my homie G-a-s and O.E. and
Suckers causin static, cause they still be disagreein
I don't give a - cause I'm from F-l-i-n-t'n
A city where pity runs low
If you ever shoot through my city, now you know
Cause we are strictly business and we also got our pride
And if you don't like it, I suggest you break wide
Suckers steady lookin for the m-o-n-e-y and
Thinkin that illegal is the best way, so they dyin
I ain't got time to see a fiend fiend out
To give up all his money, and he givin what he got
That's the way I am, MC Breed cannot be different
Never change my ways for the world or the government
If I was the president, then I would state facts
You leave it up to me, I paint the white house black
It ain't no future in your frontin"

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street.
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street.

“Penelope” by the Newfoundland group Great Big Sea:
Penelope works in the market
Down in the coconut trees
She's saving up all her money
To go to America across the sea
She once had an uncle
He lived in Detroit town
They got all his post cards
But his body has never been found
To this day
To this day |

My family moved from Somerset PA to the Detroit area when I was 13. I remember feeling really homesick when they used to play Bobby Bare's "Detroit City". That song is forever branded into the minds of all those Appalachian transplants like me. |

That list includes songs with "Detroit" shoutouts ("Heart of Rock and roll") but forgets one- James Browns "Living In America". I seem to remember the video. He shouts "Detroit City" and it shows a 1980s view of the skyline. |

But thanks to the end of steel and the arrival of zebra mussels the water ain't so dirty anymore. |

People always seem to get so confused by the "born in raised in south Detroit" line from Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" but I just always assumed it meant southwest, not due south of the downtown riverfront. I mean, that is the southernmost region of the city. Whenever I hear the song, I picture West Vernor. But for all I know, the guys from Journey are just making crap up and they thought it sounded nice.

I asked this very question of Steve Perry back in my radio dj days. Turns out he played in a band previous to Journey with a bass player from Detroit. I can't remember the guys name, but he was killed in a motorcycle accident, so this was a shout out to him. |

the drummer from the chili peppers & the problematic keyboardist from "Smashing Pumpkins" are detroit-born. Doesn't "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson reference her being from the D?

A couple I can think of.
There was a nationally released country song that crossed my desk in the mid 70's called "Ypsitucky". Not the Mike Dykehouse song, a different one.
A Detroit area folkie whose name excapes me except that he was on the club circuit had one where the chorus would start with:
"Motown ain't no town for me"
The audience would sing the underline
"Pop a beer down
Pop a can of beer down"
Can't remember his name. Anyone remember him? Again it would be very early 70's. |

Ben Folds - Kalamazoo
Kid Rock - All Summer Long
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahh
Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It’s the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn’t have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
[Chorus:]
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking ’bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She’ll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We’d blister in the sun
We couldn’t wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll |
