The Guess Who, Running Back to Saskatoon (1972):

"Moose Jaw, Broadview, Moosomin too
Runnin' back to Saskatoon
Red Deer, Terrace, Hanna, Medicine Hat
Sing another prairie tune, sing another prairie tune..."

Also The Beatles, Back In the USSR (1968)- a place so obscure that it doesn't even exist anymore...

A Gary Allan song with a lot of references to California.

Idalou and New Deal Texas. That is pretty obscure. I still think Jackpot and Adel take the cake though.

And one referring to the Franklin Mountains near El Paso, TX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wjADHXhxHE

Oh-oh-oh 29 Palms
I feel the heat of your desert heart
Leading me back down the road that leads back to you.
