Famous Man-Made Structures
I don't want to put pictures. Specific structures, though, not just a church or a bridge, but a famous one named in a song. Castles, temples, monuments, dams.... Big stuff.

(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

London Bridge is falling down
Falling down
Falling down
London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady
"...till this place shines like the top of the Chrysler building"
It's a hard-knock life for us...
from Annie
Winchester Cathedral
You're bringing me down
You stood and you watched as
My baby left town
Like the folks you meet on
Like to plant my feet on
The Brooklyn Bridge
What a lovely view from
Heaven looks at you from
The Brooklyn Bridge
(Comden/Green)
Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist
Toby Keith
And on up the river is Grand Coulee Dam
The mightiest thing ever built by a man
To run the great factories and water the land
So roll on, Columbia, roll on
-"Roll On, Columbia" by Woodie Guthrie, and the state song of Washington, where I grew up.
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park,
listen to the Winds, of Change.
"Winds of Change" - Scorpions
Westminster Abbey, the tower of Big Ben
The rosy red cheeks of the little children
Roger Miller, "England Swings"
Low bridge, everybody down
Low bridge for we're coming to a town
And you'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal
Got a cargo of sodas
They are low-cal
Forty miles on the Panama Canal...
Animaniacs
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
"Walk Like an Eqyptian," a weird song by The Bangles
All God's creations great and small
The Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal
That's a miracle
-Queen, "The Miracle"
Bonnie, THANK YOU! I knew there was a song a while back with "Taj Mahal" and I could not think of it at all. Now my mind can move on to other things. God bless you and your computer.
I will play this:
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumblin' down.
(an ancient church-camp thing)
In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, lived a strange race of people, the Druids.
No one knows who they were or what they were doing, but their legacy remains.
Hewn into the living rock, of Stonehenge.
from Spinal Tap
In the tower of London, large as life,
the ghost of Anne Bolyn walks they declare.
"With Her Head Tucked underneath her Arm" - Kingston Trio, Others
Open up that Golden Gate
California here I come
sung by Al Jolson
And then I think
We'll see the Sphinx,
We'll stop at Tut's
For food and drink.
Down and Back
from Dreamer: What Really Happened to Joseph
Oh! From Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat:
They've got food and drinks
And if we have the time we cold see the Sphinx
Now they know
How many holes
It takes to fill the Albert Hall...
"A Day in the Life" - Beatles
And if someone could PLEASE explain that reference to me (the holes, not the Hall), I'd be ever-so-grateful. It's bugged me for years.
You're the top
You're the Colliseum
You're the top
You're the Louvre museum
[..]
You're the Tower of Pisa
You're the smile of the Mona Lisa
Cole Porter, "You're the Top"
