What are some of The Carpenters songs that mention names of places in them. whether it's a country, continent, state, city, monument, building, body of water, hotel, resort, church, etc.
Here's a few I've come up with:
" Dancing In The Street" - mentions New York City, Philadelphia, PA
" Don't Cry For Me Argentina"
"Goofus" - mentions Ioway
"Honolulu City Lights"

Hi Smoothie - looks like we're here at the same time.
I know this is kind of stretching it but HOME is mentioned in the song "Da Doo Ron Ron".

:)just as the song "Boat to Sail" mentions the water, the song Maybe It's You tells about enjoying the ocean and the waves. Of course, there's that fateful Deadman's Curve (where Johnny was killed)...anyway, also in the same song.."I met him at the candy store".....also a stretch perhaps..

There are a lot of songs about the horizon and "Sailing on the Tide" talks about "my beautiful island in the sun..."
It sounds like they were always looking to the future or just a nice place to get-a-way. I'm there....

hi Moe...exactly..I don't live anywhere close to a lake nor ocean..but I did see the ocean once in Cal. when I was in San Diego visiting my sister. I was only 8 so I don't recall much about it. I have been in boats once or twice w/ my folks as they fished. I also have been sailing with friends on a lake yrs. ago. I really liked that relaxation I felt. And so, I know it must be a very nice escape or hobby of many to get away from it all...I was never adventurous to try any water skiing though, but I liked to watch others do it.

Guayaquil is mentioned in "B'wana She No Home". Guayaquil is a seaport in the west of Ecuador.
