We're getting there, only four more to go in my Favorite City Songs series, which is songs with a city in the title. We are at #4 in the countdown: "Midnight in Tokyo" by Y&T.
Inspired by a concert in Tokyo, "Midnight in Tokyo" is the final cut on side one of their 1983 album, Mean Streak.
And although it rocks pretty hard at times, it's definitely more listener friendly than other Y&T songs such as "Mean Streak" (Which actually got played on the radio here, despite it's heaviness.)
What can I say? I love Y&T, and this is one of their best.
Enjoy!

That is a little tame by metal standards. But there's that 40-foot stack of Marshall amps....

@teamfreak16 -- yeah, they do. I had to go to Y&T (You & Tube 
) and listen to "Mean Streak." My computer's speakers melted.

You might have heard "Summertime Girls" at some point. It was their attempt at a hit single, very radio friendly.
