I think I mentioned this one already but Pensacola by Deerhunter is one of my favorite songs of 2013 so far.

Rotterdam (Or Anywhere) by The Beautiful South

Life On Mars by Bowie - Nobody said it had to be on Earth

Graceland by Paul Simon - I don't know if it's a real place but it's still a place in a song.

Not so much a song about a place, but rather a song about a clearly mentally unstable person. Beautiful song nonetheless, and it fits two place names into the title. So there's that.

Here's two of my favourite songs about the greatest city in the world, Glasgow.

Aztec Camera - Killermont Street: Basically about Buchanan Bus Station in Glasgow, although it must be the greatest song ever written about a bus station 🤣

The Blue Nile - Tinseltown in the Rain: A beautiful song, made even better by the fact that the subject is my hometown.
