How about a song that mentions loads of place names?
Lemon Jelly's album 'Lost Horizons' is beautifully designed.
A long list of place names is mentioned in the song... narrated by the distinctive voice of John Standing.
And the band?
Lemon Jelly are a British electronic music duo from London that formed in 1998 and went on hiatus starting in 2008. Since its inception, the band members have always been Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen. Lemon Jelly has been nominated for awards like the Mercury Music Prize and BRIT Awards. The bright colourful artwork featured in the albums and music videos, and the Lemon Jelly typeface, became part of the "brand". (Wikipedia)
