Ok, maybe this is a bit odd, but I have always enjoyed (good) songs about obscure places, especially if they are west of the Mississippi. There are quite a few out there and referencing places is a complete sub-genre when it comes to Texas locales. However, as far as I can think, a song taking place in Jackpot, Nevada is about as obscure as one can get (and you get an Ely mention as a bonus!):

Of course, there is are Ely and Jackpot references in this song, but there is a certain family pedigree at play here.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
