"Cities" is a single, released in 1980, by the American new wave band Talking Heads.

When the concert film Stop Making Sense was first released on home video, the songs "Cities", together with "Big Business"/"I Zimbra" were restored to the performance, thus forming what was dubbed the "special edition" of the film.

It and subsequent video and DVD releases have placed these songs after the film in an unrestored full-frame version.

Tina Weymouth's bass playing in the song is described by AllMusic as both "melodic" and "funky", while David Byrne's guitar is said to be jittery, but clean-sounding.

"[2] The rock band Phish covered "Cities" on their 1997 album Slip, Stitch and Pass and it has been played frequently at their concerts.
