    The Waterboys:  Bang on the Ear.

    feat. Liverpool (not obscure) and Fife (very obscure, round these parts anyway).

    The Smiths: Panic

    This one covers a lot of British cities and the entire Humberside district, which people that lived there never stopped calling East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.  So Humberside is obscure in that nobody ever acknowledged it's existence in reality.

    Morrisey always sounds like he's reading the index from a Road Map anyway...

    Nah, I'm much more exclusive in how I throw the Black Dogs around now.
     
    Not a song, but my family name is listed in Canterbury Tales as one of the towns on the way to Canterbury.  That should be obscure enough to count, ya?
