	This lists just about every geographical reference in a Billy Joel song. The list includes states, countries, cities, bodies of water, street names, etc. One thing I didn't include was if a country was mantioned as a nationality (ex: I didn't include "Cuba" for being mentioned as "Cuban heels" in Keeping the Faith). There are 8 bonus answers of places that aren't exactly geographical, but are still places. If I missed some, let me know...I'm sure you will.

	ManlyStump:	Jan 1st, 2010 at 22:12 GMT		2 points
	Do the places have to be mentioned in the lyrics for you to include them, or can they just be in the title? Because I noticed Saigon didn't count.

	smoggy14:	Jan 1st, 2010 at 22:51 GMT		1 point
	words that are mentioned in titles but not lyrics should count. i had a typo with saigon. fixed now

	tikigirl:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 07:56 GMT		2 points
	Wow--this is quite an undertaking! Neat idea. It looks like you are missing Montauk for Downeaster Alexa and I believe it is spelled Panmunjom.

	smoggy14:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 08:29 GMT		2 points
	thanks for the catch on Montauk...don't know how I missed that one, that was one of the first songs I went to and one of my favorites.

	hundredman:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 16:27 GMT		1 point
	How about Iran from "We Didn't Start the Fire"--"Ayatollah's in Iran, Russians in Afghanistan..." And I think tikigirl is correct on the spelling of Panmunjom.

	mister_pianoman:	Jan 2nd, 2010 at 18:12 GMT		3 points
	could you change it so all the clues for the same songs are next to each other? Also, the Seinne is a river in Paris mentioned in Somewhere Along the Line (first line of the song.)

	akserlking:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 07:26 GMT		1 point
	This was really cool, but the river Seine only has one 'n'. I got 85 out of 89, and only missed the four because of time running out and Seine not being spelled right. Ha!

	thanks akser...sorry about the misspelling

	LoftedTulip18:	Jun 5th, 2010 at 04:19 GMT		8 points
	The city of Bethlehem is also referenced in the song Allentown

	Broomhead:	Jun 7th, 2010 at 06:12 GMT		6 points
	Pennsylvania is also mentioned in Allentown and Levittown is mentioned in Leningrad.

	idledandy:	Jun 13th, 2010 at 18:51 GMT		7 points
	Yeah, I kept trying Bethlehem and Levittown, too. I like this quiz a lot, but I think it would be less confusing if the references within one song were lumped together.

	BillyJoelRulez:	Jun 15th, 2010 at 17:44 GMT		5 points
	I agree with idledandy. They should be grouped by song.

	ginrummy:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 22:18 GMT		1 point
	There are a few places that are in titles of other works that are mentioned, such as "South Pacific" and the River Kwai, that I would have included.

	RonB:	May 21st, 2011 at 14:32 GMT		1 point
	I think they weren't included because they were parts of titles. The same could be said of Arabia, in "Lawrence of Arabia". It was consistent.

	segacs:	Nov 10th, 2011 at 03:09 GMT		-1 points
	Love this quiz. Agree that Levittown should be included. Bethlehem is a question mark, because arguably the lyric referred to the steel company and not the town named after it. But it's sort of ambiguous. Also agree with those who said that the answers should be grouped by song.

	Dralcoffin:	Jun 4th, 2012 at 01:24 GMT		3 points
	"Out in Bethlehem they're killing time..." Certainly sounds like the city to me.
