Post a music video with a geographical reference.
Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI9QfkaQXrY&feature=related

I was bruised and battered and I couldnt tell
What I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
I saw my reflection in a window I didnt know
My own face
Oh brother are you gonna leave me
Wastin´away
On the streets of philadelphia

I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of philadelphia

Aint no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend
My clothes dont fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip the skin

The night has fallen, Im lyinawake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of philadelphia

2. The song itself doesn't have the reference, but the video does.

5. "Up the 'Pool" - Jethro Tull
Ian Anderson's ode to his hometown, Blackpool

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtLtrt6SQZI


I'm going up the 'Pool from down the smoke below
to taste me mum's jam sarnies and see our Aunty Flo.
The candy floss salesman watches ladies in then sand
down for a freaky weekend in the hope that they'll be meeting Mr. Universe.
The iron tower smiles down upon the silver sea
and along the Golden Mile they'll be swigging mugs of tea.
The politicians there, who've come to take the air,
while posing for the daily press
will look around and blame the mess on Edward Pier.

There'll be buckets, spades and bingo, cockles, mussels, rainy days,
seaweed and sand castles, icy waves,
deck chairs, rubber dinghies, old vests, braces dangling down,
a suntanned stranded starfish in a daze.

a suntanned stranded starfish in a daze.
Oh, Blackpool,
Oh, Blackpool.

6. Boston - "Rock n Roll Band"
Edited on Sun Mar-01-09 05:15 AM by opiate69

Well, we were just another band out of boston
On the road to try to make ends meet
Playin all the bars, sleepin in our cars
And we practiced right on out in the street
No, we didnt have much money
We barely made enough to survive
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play
People came alive.

Rock and roll band
Everybodys waitin
Gettin crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dancin in the streets of Hyannis
We were getting pretty good at the game
People stood in line and didnt seem to mind
You know everybody knew our name
Livin on rock-n-roll music
Never worry bout the things we were missing
When we got up on the stage and got ready to play
Everybodyd listen.

Rock and roll band
Everybodys waitin
Gettin crazy
Anticipating love and music
Play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Playin for a week in Rhode Island
A man came to the stage one night
He smoked a big cigar
Drove a cadillac car
And said, boys, I think this bands outta-sight
Sign a record company contract
You know Ive got great expectations
When I hear you on the car radio
Youre goin to be a sensation!
