%%* "Show Me What You Got" by Music/LimpBizkit

%%* "Dancing in the Street" by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, and by proxy the numerous cover versions thereof.

-->I've been to Kaparoa, Whangaroa, Akaroa, Motueka,\\

%%* "I've Been Everywhere"
%%** Multiple versions thereof. The American version is probably the most famous, but it was originally about Australian placenames.
%%** And this makes it easy to parody. ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had a version with all the fictional cities from the show, and there's an ''Alaskan'' version, in which the singer runs out of places in Alaska, and has to [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment mention Anchorage several times]].
%%** And there's also a ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' version, in which Rincewind lists all the places he's fled from.

* Ian Dury's "Rhythm Stick" and Music/FlandersAndSwann's "Slow Train" do something similar. Played straight by the UK's 2007 Eurovision entry ("Flying the Flag for You", wasn't it?), probably to garner votes.

A MusicTrope. So you're writing a new track and you want it to be a hit in Boston. One obvious way to do this is to make your song all about how awesome Boston is. This creates a special connection with listeners in Boston.

But I¹m fed up cutting corners,\\

* "Boom" by P.O.D.

* The first verse of Mayday Parade's "Get Up"
* Babyshambles' "Albion."

* "Around the World" by Music/RedHotChiliPeppers.

* "I Am One" by Music/{{WASP|Band}} from the ''Music/TheCrimsonIdol'' lists multiple cities during it's intro.

* MIMS' song "This is Why I'm Hot"

* "7 Weeks" by GymClassHeroes.

** "Pimpin' All Over the World" is a more straight example.

* "On Earth" by Samael.
* "D.I.Y." by Music/{{KMFDM}}

* "Show Me What You Got" by Music/LimpBizkit

* "Dancing in the Street" by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, and by proxy the numerous cover versions thereof.

* The Cross (a side project by Music/{{Queen}} drummer Roger Taylor) has one of these entitled "Cowboys and Indians"

* Music/Slade's "Far Far Away"

* "I've Been Everywhere"
** Multiple versions thereof. The American version is probably the most famous, but it was originally about Australian placenames.
** And this makes it easy to parody. ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had a version with all the fictional cities from the show, and there's an ''Alaskan'' version, in which the singer runs out of places in Alaska, and has to [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment mention Anchorage several times]].
** And there's also a ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' version, in which Rincewind lists all the places he's fled from.

* In ''Trouble in Tahiti'', the GreekChorus lists ''suburbs''.

* Music/{{LMFAO}} did a variation on this by putting out a large amount of alternate versions of their single "I'm In Miami Trick", with the chorus re-dubbed to refer to other major US cities. Since the song is more about partying in general than any attributes of Miami itself, no other lyrical changes are made, however unlikely it might sound for one to be "in the sand with a Red Bull in my hand" in Boise, Idaho.

** On Canadian radio it's almost customary to have a voice shout out "Toronto! Montreal!" at the end.

* Brazilian variations: band Os Paralamas do Sucesso lists three slums in the chorus for "Alagados" ("Alagados, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trenchtown Trenchtown]] [[note]]practically everyone hears this one wrong[[/note]], Favela da Maré") and singer Music/TimMaia names a lot of Rio de Janeiro beaches in "Do Leme ao Pontal" (besides the two in the title, "Flamengo, Botafogo, Urca, Praia Vermelha!"). He also names beaches throughout the Brazilian coastline in "O Descobridor dos Sete Mares".
