Replace the place with another place

So, here's something I just came up with.

Find a song that has any city, state, country, whatever, and replace it with another, at least so it fits into the song, and even edit lines so it fits into the new location. It could even just be a line.

For example, Lullaby of Broadway becomes Lullaby of Norway, which I ended up thinking/singing to myself without really thinking =P
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Norway.
The hip hooray and bally hoo,
The lullaby of Norway.
...
When a Norway baby says "Good night,"
The sun's up in the evening.
Lil' Oslo babies don't sleep tight until the dark:
Good night, baby,
Good night, milkman's on his way.
Sleep tight, baby,
Sleep tight, let's call it a day

Now, if you want to, you can do the whole song if you can get the syllables to meet up.

May the deities of all help you if you figure out Istambul (Not Constantinople) ...or harder yet, Moskau

Now go, wrack your minds over the right number of syllables!

Here's the refrain from Arizona March Song adapted for Colorado (this one was pretty easy):

Sing the song that's in your hearts
Sing of the great Mount'n West,
Thank God, for Colorado
In splendid alpine dressed.

For thy beauty and thy grandeur,
For thy peaks and slopes so green
We hail thee, Colorado
Our Goddess and our queen.

Original:
Sing the song that's in your hearts
Sing of the great Southwest,
Thank God, for Arizona
In splendid sunshine dressed.

For thy beauty and thy grandeur,
For thy regal robes so sheen
We hail thee Arizona
Our Goddess and our queen.
