For my peeps at home and away, here’s a mix of songs that mention Cincinnati, both explicitly and by subtle or casual lyrical reference. Please note that on the Atmosphere track you’ll need to jump ahead to the 4:15 mark for the hidden track “Say Shh…”, which is totally worth the trouble. As for the misspelling in the title of Scott Walker’s song, I’m willing to give him a pass since he’s got the authenticity of having been born just up the road in Hamilton, Ohio and also he’s Scott Fucking Walker. Tracks are:

• “Laura”, Scissor Sisters
• “Sam’s Place”, Buck Owens
• “All This (And More)”, Against Me!
• “Animal Welcome”, The Happy Maladies
• “Cincinnati Fireball”, Johnny Burnette
• “I Can’t Get Started”, Frank Sinatra
• “One Two Sh*t”, A Tribe Called Quest feat. Busta Rhymes
• “Susie Cincinnati”, The Beach Boys
• “Cincinnati”, The Distillers
• “Bring That Beat Back”, Public Enemy
• “I’m a Ramblin’ Man”, Waylon Jennings
• “Say Shh…”, Atmosphere
• “Too Dramatic”, Ra Ra Riot
• “Cincinnati Kid”, J.J. Vianello
• “Clap Hands”, Tom Waits
• “Upside Down”, Tori Amos
• “Oh, Cincinnati”, The Seedy Seeds
• “Lights of Cincinatti” [sic], Scott Walker
