OK, I know we've had quite a few topics about songs that make us think of travel or our favorite travel songs and such, but I thought it would be fun to make a list of songs that included travel destinations: cities, countries, states, monuments, whatever.

Just give the TITLE & ARTIST and in parantheses put the destinations mentioned in the song if it is not evident in the title.
