“Paradise City” by Guns N’ Roses is the namesake for Paradise City Song, the Piano Man’s capital city.
Description
The song’s title contrasts ironically with the actual state of the city - while named after a paradise, Paradise City is described as run down with strings holding it together and people who are not well off.
