Re: Clementine
There used to be a song celebrating the regions of Canada..one bit went"I have walked on the sand of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland"-you'd have to be wearing diving gear, as the Grand Banks are at the bottom of the ocean. A notable fishing area. It did rhyme well, though!

"the Night Chicago Died"Has a line about "Daddy was a cop on the East Side of Chicago." Well, if you aren't familiar with Chicago this isn't a problem. But I found out from somebody that used to live there that there isn't any East Side of Chicago, just a big lake. So Daddy would also have to have scuba gear to go on patrol.

Could be in a motorboat patrolling the other boats on the lake... However, whatever happened to be closest to the lake could be considered the east side, could it not? At least on the grounds of being further east than the rest of the city? ... even if it's not classified as a region officially.

Also...Kind of like like Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" which says, "born and raised in South Detroit" when Detroit is only recognized as being split into East and West.
