The 80s featured many city-themed hits, including "New York, New York" (Frank Sinatra's hit, but popular in the era), The Clash's iconic "London Calling," Ultravox's atmospheric "Vienna," and "Hong Kong Garden" by Siouxsie and the Banshees, plus hits mentioning cities like Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind" (though late 70s, carried over) or The Cure's "Kyoto Song," showing a mix of pop, rock, and new wave tackling urban life.
