By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Glen Campbell (1967)

How cities are made famous in songs!. Jimmy Webb must have got a hand out from the Phoenix City Hall tourist department after this hit! The melody provides the initial attraction like sex appeal. When you get to know it then the lyrics come into it and you develop the emotional connection. At least that's what Sophie (Drew Barrymore) in Music and lyrics (2007) tells Alex (Hugh Grant).With this song it was the opposite. The melody of this was a little slow to get to like but in the end grows and the words fit in  like a glove and Glen delivers perfectly.
