Songs with Place Names

There are a lot of Hindi film songs that have place names in them. Here are some that come to mind-

Jhumka gira re Bareilly ke bazaar mein

Mere piya gaye Rangoon wahan se kiya tele phoon

Ee hai Bambai nagariya tu dekh babua..from Don

Dilli se gayi Patna ...phir bhi na mila sajna

Bombay to Goa title song...Bom, bom Bombay Goa..

Saala main to sahab ban gaya....jaise Gora koi London ka..

An Evening in Paris..title song... aisa mauka phir kahan milega..

Potti patana hain phakat kaam apun ka....Hum Hyderabadi.

There is also an old Marathi song that goes..'disashi tu navtaruni Kashmiri' (you look like a young Kashmiri beauty)

Pandharpur - a religious pilgrimage site in Maharashtra might take the cake in terms of its usage in local songs, abhangs, bhav geet, bhajans et al.

In terms of other countries since many do not produce movies or songs for that matter I think 'NY' might be the most bandied about name.
