The poodle bites, the poodle chews it.
I already got pegged for that 6 pages ago, Mr. Johnny-On-The-Spot....no fair piling on.
I should get extra credit for at least posting the lyric / chord chart and not some lame-o album cover. Do a copy & paste and roll it into this weekend's setlist.

Soundgarden - Outshined (alas, the 'feelin' Minnesota' part)
Janet Jackson - Escapade (Minneapolis). Not gonna link it, don't need it running through my head.

I guess you've got a point there. Schenectady is a tough rhyme. However, nobody's stopping you from penning a tune about GE dumping PCBs into the River.Oh well...as long as I have your permission....I can't imagine anyone wanting to write a song about Schenectady either
Not from Memphis...but love that song... We do a pretty good version of i say so myself! .
Last Dance with Mary Jane. "Indiana boys on an Indiana night". I don't think I've ever played a gig in this state where that song wasn't played/requested

Lyrics reference local zip code in Indianapolis:
Whatever happened to images, 'cause now they're gone
And worn out phrases just keep a-hangin' on

It's just like 46201

No shortage of California references out there... but the "all over La Jolla" line in Surfin' USA always hits especially close to home.
