City of New Orleans

The song "City of New Orleans," written by Steve Goodman, is not a song about the city, it is a song about the train. The city itself is barely mentioned. As such, it should be removed from the list. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 17:58, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Substance

We need to establish a more stringent standard for inclusion in this list, i.e., songs must have some substantive link to New Orleans, not simply make a passing reference. Furthermore, songs about Louisiana are not necessarily about New Orleans. I am going to be weeding out songs that are not appropriate by these standards. Otherwise, the list will be too long, unwieldy, and useless. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 01:23, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In keeping with the comment above, I altered the description at the top of the page, which had included songs that merely "mentioned" New Orleans. With that in mind, I removed "Jesus Just Left Chicago," by ZZ Top, which only mentions the city, but it not about the city. ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 17:07, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
