I was about to get tilted, but then I remember Beaulieu here in Britain (home of an *amazing* motor museum) is not "bo-lyuh" in the French way, but "byoo-lee".
"buh-LOYT" was how the guys from the machinery company of the same name (which was headquartered there) used to pronounce it, when they visited the paper mill where my father worked when I was a kid.
I'm from Minnesota and say BEll-oyt or BUH-loyt. The pronunciation discussion comes with a side of "what is the origin of the town anyway?" chat. French fur trader? Jesuit missionary? Other? Hard to say!
Depends. Beh-Buh-Bah, Interchanges for me.
Little kid me was always told that due to Beloit being at the lower end of Wisconsin, it the sound a turd makes when hitting the water.
*Bah-loyt*

I keep meaning to get a college sweatshirt made for myself with BELWAH on it. Maybe it's finally time.

I thought it was a Dukes of Hazzard reference at first
So the song says the City Boy was born in "South Detroit" yes? Observe the following map.
Note that "South Detroit" is: actually just Windsor, Ontario.
Though somehow I don't think "born and raised in Windsor" scans well, musically speaking.
