Keep it coming, BTW it just needs to be nationally published song. It doesn't have to be a hit.

The theme song to WKRP in Cincinnati counts.

Well then the first Red Wanting Blue song would count. It's on their album Souvenirs of City Life which is available for download on iTunes. The second one hasn't been released yet.

Wisdom In Chains - "cap city"

this song was written about a show i booked where Wisdom In Chains van was stolen from my friends house by a crackhead while the guitar player was sleeping in the back seat, guitar player woke up and destroyed the dude from behind, van was totaled in a crash. we managed to raise enough money at the show to get them a Uhaul truck to get back to east PA

One Life Crew - "sportbike attack" and its probably mentioned in 5 or more other of their songs

most hated band in hardcore probably ever, from Cleveland. mention cleveland in some songs but its usually said as "clevo" because of clevo style hardcore. these guys were on victory records(ya know the label that spawned taking back sunday/hawthorn heighs/ and made them huge) until they got kicked off in the mid 90's for starting a huuuuuge fight at clevo fest, everyone hating them probably didnt help keep them on the roster.

OAR: Road Outside Columbus.

It is the song I play everytime I miss Cbus.
Also, funny, they are from Maryland and went to OSU, while I went from OSU to Maryland/ DC.

There's a road outside Columbus, Ohio.
Feels like I drove along for years.
this Midwest way of ease it surrounds us.
I can't deny the rhythm here.
And as I pull away from Riverside beside me,
That High Street never looked so good.
I miss my lady even though she often writes me.
She tells me takes of my neighborhood.
