As sung by Tinie Tempah.

So, what (released) songs are there that reference Brighton (and/or Hove)?

 

[Frutos]

Pinball Wizard -

Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played them all

[Barrow Boy]

Queen - Brighton Rock
(doesn't actually name Brighton in the lyrics, just the title)

[hastings]

Wiley - Up your speed

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

You're not from Brighton-fatboy slim

 

[Barrel of Fun]

[ali jenkins]

On a side note:

That Tinie Tempah tune is amazing!

 

[Kumquat]

Waiting for the 7.18 by Bloc Party. Rousing chant at the end of “Let’s drive to Brighton at the weekend”. They might be the only band to reference St Leonard's too.

Of Montrel - Our British Tour Diary

On our trip to England I noticed something obscene, people actually give a shit about the Queen. London girls aren't snobs at all and Brighton's lovely in the fall.

[Trufflehound]

So What - Anti Nowhere League

Well I've been to Hastings
And I've been to Brighton
I've been to Eastbourne too
So what, so what

(Probably not a good idea to play this one at work though...)

[Barrow Boy]

Sham 69 - Alice

Alice, Alice had a dream
She had sex with a rabbit in the forest of Dean
She's chocolate in an Oxfam wispa
She's all upstairs and downstairs
She comes from Gloucester
She's Manchester, Brighton, Weybridge and home
She'll tell you all about it when she's on the phone

 

[The Large One]

Take your pick...

I'm going to see Mr Garoghan doing 'Singalonga Brighton the Musical' at the Dome on March 6th.

 

[Seagulls over Lewes]

So What - Anti Nowhere League

Well I've been to Hastings
And I've been to Brighton
I've been to Eastbourne too
So what, so what
