"Cities" is a single, released in 1980, by the American new wave band Talking Heads. It is the fourth track on their third studio album Fear of Music (1979).
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. For the 1999 re-release, these songs were no longer included in sequence with the rest of the footage. It and subsequent video and DVD releases have placed these songs after the film in an unrestored full-frame version.
