What I have found interesting is how some artists never mention a place in their whole career. Then you look at a Bob Dylan and he seems to have eaten a map. (I ran away from his list after a brief glance… he loves places)
well, I kinda added a lot more than I expected to the collection, including all the applicable “Christmas in…” songs that exist in the DB… 
I also added the few “Weird Al” Yankovic songs that apply, and from a couple of my favorite artists.

Haha - know the feeling… I don’t dare look at the main list as I know far too many of those links will be purple. Any fun excuse to poke around my music collection.
The Christmas In… songs are a clever thought. Wonder what gave you that idea? 
(Wow - 108,000!)
If you’re adding those Weird Al paraody songs it will mean I’ll need to add these: Terry Garoghan - Works - MusicBrainz Almost every song of his is about the city of Brighton and named after streets and districts… Maybe do that list another day

I thought of that one too, unfortunately it doesn’t go in the collection. all the place names are in the lyrics, not the title… maybe it gets an honorable mention? 
I did start the list song tag though, surprised it wasn’t already a thing here. if anyone’s interested, there’s even a Wikipedia article! 
While I also really love the batch add to collection script and use it all the time, I have not coded it. This credit goes to @yyoung 
But I will probably announce some new userscripts and bookmarklets later this year on which I am currently working

Can’t put a pin in that one. Or is it a town in Georgia? That state seems to be surprisingly common.
Not using the script, I do things the hard way. Middle mouse button and open loads of tabs. I like the manual way as it also lets me see how often I overlap with someone else’s idea (probably less than 1% of the time)
As I only own a single Dylan CD I thought I’d leave him to his fans. I have more obscure stuff to add first. I focus on stuff I can actually verify.
Sounds like fun: I’ll gladly add my share of (mostly non-english) titles/works with places if you add me

I think this worthy mission needs its own thread. Maybe @Freso or other forum mod can punt us off to a new thread from post #91 ? This Off Topic thread is now going very much on one topic and that is therefore off topic for off topic and needs its own topic.
Welcome to the mission @chabreyflint. Warning - can be addictive. And the more obscure the locations the better. “Must be able to put a pin in it on a map” is the simple rule I have followed.

Welcome to the madness @aerozol and @chabreyflint .
Again, apologies for dragging this conversation of off-topic subject matter off course! I didn’t expect this much response to this silly quest - happy for further talk to be in a seperate thread etc.

No apology required. This is on topic to off topic, but now such a topic in its own right I think it deserves its own thread. You have found many fellow location loons and I can see this conversation expanding. Nice idea

If you’re okay with non-English Works, I’d be happy to add ones I know of/come across too.

Mecca - No
Why is Mecca (Wikipedia) not an allowed place? If it’s just for being a religiously relevant place, then Jerusalem also shouldn’t be allowed… and probably places like Stonehenge too and lots more.

Have updated the description.
Everyday is a school day here at Metabrainz 
So looking through some possible additions, a couple of questions.
- Is “Earth” something that belongs in this collection, or is it too generic (similar to other celestial objects)? (This was also asked previously by @jesus2099 but I didn’t notice an answer to this.)
- Are adjectives okay? Like, uh, “California” is clearly okay, but what about “Californian”? (Or Denmark/Danish, Canada/Canadian, etc.)
