La Fin de la Semaine Essay Question: Special "'Allo, Sailor!" Edition

Okay guys -- as you know, a certain Shady Dame and I are currently relaxing in scenic Montreal, in the heart of darkest Canadia.

I won't bore you with the details, and I certainly won't do any cheap jokes à la française, so let's get down to the business at hand toot sweet.

To wit:

...and your favorite (or least favorite) post-Elvis pop/rock/soul or country song specifically referencing an actual geographical location -- OUTSIDE OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES -- is...???

No other arbitrary rules, vous êtes les bienvenus, and just be grateful I'm giving you the chance to include Hawaii and its environs.

Oh, and in case you're wondering (and long-time readers will not be surprised to learn) but my personal nominee has got to be "The Boulevard de la Madeline." That oh so sad and beautiful song by the original (i.e., listenable, before the hippie hits happened) Denny Laine-era Moody Blues.

And yes, that's me at said address, on the first trip to Paris I got to take with the aforementioned Shady Dame.

It's a sad day in Paris
With no girl by my side
Got to feeling so badly
Like a part of me died
It would have been
So good to see her
I never thought
She wouldn't be there
There's no girl standing there
And there's no one who cares
And the trees are so bare
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine

Ah, c'est tellement romantique, n'est-ce pas?

Discuss. Which is to say -- what would your choices be?

And have a great weekend everybody!!! See you upon our return!!!
