Favourite song that references a real place

[Nate]

Preferably a real place you actually have contact with. This is inspired by this thread.

I'm going to go with Four Seasons in One Day by Crowded House; inspired by Melbourne's weather.

Also, I'll mention pretty much anything written by The Cat Empire, who love referencing everything about this city, from St. Kilda (which is one suburb over from where I live) to the trams, to Half Moon bay. Hell, they even released a concept album dedicated to Melbourne. Also, Harry Angus sings a song about being in high school and having a crush on a girl called Fontaine. Turns out my good friend Cheese went to school with Harry AND there really was a girl called Fontaine in the class.

[Mac Sirloin]

Singapore by Tom Waits.


Rain Dogs was a good album.

Billy Ocean's Get Out of My Dreams, Get into My Car

Fleetwood Mac's Welcome to the Room, Sara

The Cars Here in my Car

Bob Seger's Main Street

Tony Christie's Don't Go Down to Reno

[Killy]

Tim Hecker - La Ceibas. One of the coolest, albeit shortest ambient tracks I've ever heard.
