Here's a little game to play, find a song where they mention a place, post the song and a coin from that country (no national anthems, that's too easy)
For an example:
Here's a song by the band "Muse" called "Stockholm Syndrome"

Interesting that you chose Sweden, since it's one of few countries who doesn't mention the country's name in its national anthem. Just a fun fact
Interestingly, although it was the theme song for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, it wasn't actually written for them. Mercury became friends with opera singer Montserrat Caballé and she asked him to write a song about her home city, it was just adopted by the Olympics. Unfortunately Mercury was supposed to perform at the Olympics but died just before they started.

Citação: "neilithic"Alright, here's one for you Americans
Bye Bye Miss American Pie - By Don McLean
And one of my favourite American coins to go with it
With the US State quarters and plenty of songs, we could probably even do a whole thread on US states alone
I'm thinking Sweet Home Alabama, New York New York, California dreaming, Blue moon of Kentucky, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, etc.
isn't that the song that when asked the meaning of it.. The response was " I didn't have to write another" or something along those lines ?
There is some mystery about the lyrics. Apparently the original lyrics sheet went on sale recently and they had notes on the side that gave clues to what it was about. But only the one that paid thousands to get it would find out.
