Today's #TuneTuesday theme is songs with cities or towns in the title or lyrics. The official hash tag is #LondonCalling but my entry contains songs that refer to another city, #Helsinki.
Helsinki and Stockholm are connected by a popular ferry line, which is nicely reflected in this song, co-written and sung by one of my favorite artists, Doug Sahm:
Sir Douglas Quintet: Meet Me In Stockholm (1984)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBfz5f7_xXkTwo wonderful Finnish-language recordings that I really liked when they came out some 35 years ago, both with memorable lyrics:
Leevi & the Leavings: Jos Helsinki on kaunis (1989)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUWiBHb1i4sLiisa Akimof: Helsinki (1990)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPW4WJHGNM0Unfortunately the all-time ultimate Helsinki song doesn't mention the name of the city, but here it is anyway - originally written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent as "Beautiful In the Rain", but with superb - and completely different - Finnish-language lyrics by Juha "Junnu" Vainio:
Fredi: Kolmatta Linjaa takaisin (1968)

I gave the lyrics to Joe to sing. He said, No, youve gotta sing it, they're your lyrics: The Clash's Paul Simonon on how he wrote the punk icons' defiant classic The Guns Of Brixton
London Calling classic The Guns Of Brixton was Clash bassist's Paul Simonon's first-ever compositionhttps://www.loudersound.com/news/paul-simonon-on-how-he-wrote-a-clash-classic
