Tried a bunch of spellings for "Muskogee", except that one. No, I don't want you to change it.

I did not know Gangnam was actually a location. Guess it makes sense, but I never really thought about it.

Agree with trebek. I've heard the Marc Cohn version a million times. I didn't even know Cher had her own version.

I will make a version of this quiz with a twist. I will give a place name, except it will be wrong. The incorrect place name will be of the same type as the original though. Eg. 'Surfin' Vietnam' by the Beach Boys. The answer is 'Surfin' USA' of course.
