Interesting facts and trivia about City of Ocala. By Songfacts®.

The opening track of Common Courtesy, this is about A Day To Remember's hometown of Ocala in Florida. Vocalist Jeremy McKinnon commented to Kerrang! magazine: "We've tended to be a little bit negative about Ocala, but as time goes on we've learned to appreciate it more."

McKinnon stated in a separate Kerrang! interview that the song is, "about standing in the back garden of my parents' house and looking in the garage where we started, where we'd practice, and where we'd terrorize the neighborhood."

Another band to hail from Ocala were the 1960s novelty-pop group, The Royal Guardsmen. They recorded a quartet of songs inspired by Snoopy the Beagle in the "Peanuts" comic strip including the 1966 #2 hit, "Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron."
