Olympia, WA - Rancid
Welcome to Paradise - Green Day (I think "Paradise" is Oakland)
Rock the Casbah - The Clash
Jackson - Johnny and June Cash

A couple of classic Bluegrass tunes:
Blue Moon of Kentucky - Bill Monroe
Rocky Top (Tennessee) - Osborne Brothers

A good list so far folks.

A couple to add.

Paradise City - GNR. I'm not exactly sure where this place is, but I've heard that grass is really green there.

Kalamazoo - The Glenn Miller Band. It seems like someone mentioned another song by the same name, but by a different artist. I've never heard it, so I can't comment, but I've always like the Big Band sound of Glenn Miller.

I don't think I saw "Georgia" - Ray Charles anywhere in there...also, "On the Road again..." - Willie Nelson (hey, that's a place too)

California Dreamin? The Mamas and the Papas...that would count...pretty much any beach boys song is somehow about California or Hawaii right?

EWTH8R:

I like the NOFX songs. They also play a song called "Champs Elysees." They sing it in French.

Bloodhound Gang also has a 10 second song called "10 Coolest Things About New Jersey." It's filled with 10 seconds of silence.

Doh, forgot about that one. Reminds me of a joke though.

Why did the French plant trees along the Champs Elysees?

So the Germans could march in the shade.
