Help me make a compilation of Ohio songs please! (1 Viewer)

Paul D Young · Aug 16, 2003

Long story short; I'm making a compialtion for a friend who live in Columbus, OH and I want all the songs to be either about Ohio or just mention the state or any Ohio city. The more mentions the better.

I'm just getting started but of course I plan on including Ohio by Neil Young and Cleveland Rocks by Ian Hunter. ANy other suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks,
Paul

"O.H.I.O" by the Ohio Players.

One of the early Devo singles (it has the chorus - 'Are we not men - We are Devo', etc. I think it's Jocko Homo, but I wouldn't swear to it). That defintely has a name check for Ohio in it.

Cleveland Rocks!

"Down By The O-H-I-O"

This would be the coolest cut on yer disc.

"There's No Surf In Cleveland"

by the Euclid Beach Band - produced by Eric Carmen

Ohio from Leonard Bernstein's Wonderful Town based on the play My Sister Eileen

Mr. Tanner, by Harry Chapin.

It's kind of a slow, sad song. But it does sound ever so lovely.

Reginald Trent · Aug 18, 2003

"Ohio" by the Isley Brothers

Mike Brogan · Aug 19, 2003

There's an instrumental by Uncle Tupelo called "Sandusky".

"Ohio" by Modest Mouse.

"Cleveland is the City" by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.

And last but not least, "Expecting" by The White Stripes with the following lyrics:

You sent me to Toledo, Toledo, Toledo...

"Toledo" ("Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio, is like being nowhere at all..."). Written by Randy Sparks, but there's a great version of it by John Denver on the "Evening With..." double-live CD.

If you take all of these suggestions, it's going to be one eclectic CD!!

And I forgot to mention "Somewhere in Ohio" by one of my favorite bands, the Jayhawks.

Also, I guess Jewel has a song called "Cleveland".

And you should be able to find a version of "Hang on Sloopy" sung by thousands of drunk Buckeye fans,"O-H-I-O". Although your friend might hear enough of that in Columbus anyway.
