Plus I can think of a few that aren't on there.

"Got on a bus in Memphis, destination Rome." Multi Colored Lady, Greg Allman.

RE: Top 100 Songs about Memphis
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis got a room at the YMCA
For the next three weeks I went a hountin' them night clubs
Lookin' for a place to play
Well I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire
But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man
Well I nearly bout starved to death down in Memphis I run out of money and luck
So I bummed me a ride down to Macon Georgia on a overloaded poultry truck

Written by Jerry Reed and recorded by Jerry and Elvis. Made famous by Elvis on the 1968 TV special.

Which proud Mary? You have to treat the CCR version and the Turner version as different songs right?

Edit: no mention of Ike and Tina version, you assume it's higher on the list.

Memphis Fight Song should be on there somewhere. Top 3 has to include "Walking in Memphis" and "Memphis"

I'm thinking "Walking in Memphis", "Memphis, Tennessee" (Johnny Rivers), "Pride (In the Name of Love)", have to be top 5.

Lagrange (ZZ ) and Honky Top Woman up there too.

Memphis could be the original Chuck Berry version or Johnny Rivers.

How about "B-buh-b-buh Basketball" about the 85 Tigers team? Or "My Radio's Pickin Up FM100"

Haha.

RE: Top 100 Songs about Memphis
maybe not as hard as M.E.M.P.H.I.S. or plenty of others but I like this song (I have a soft spot in my heart for Al Kapone, though):
#78 on the list.

Haha.

I remember the B Side..."Keith Lee". "We didn't get him a car or a job in a topless bar"

I'm impressed with my own memory from 30 years ago.
