Calling Out Around The World

[Jimmy Bastard]

Happened to hear
Tinie Tempah feat 2 Chainz: Trampoline
https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=6VOeQZ6Bi7I
just now
and on the fade out verse he tosses in the bigtown call outs
specifically
Sydney, what's going down? New York, what's going down?
LA, what's going down? Vegas, what's going down?
Dublin, what's going down? Paris, what's going down?
Lagos, what's going down? Oslo, what's going down?
Toronto, what's going down? Stockholm, what's going down?
Berlin, what's going down? Johannesburg, what's going down?
Tokyo, what's going down? Rio, what's going down?
Beijing, what's going down? London, what's going down?

What are your favourite examples of this,
added points for early examples, the far reaching and parochial, or just plain unlikely.

First to spring to mind is Drummond and Cauty's exhaustive titular rollcall
The Jams - It's Grim Up North
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6eo3bnYmwA
"Through the downpour and diesel roar, Rockman and Kingboy D can feel a regular dull thud. Whether this is the eternal echo of a Victorian steam driven revolution or the turbo kick of a distant Northern rave is irrelevant. Thus inspired, The JAMS climb into the back of their truck and work."
(See also follow on homage from Wiltshire/Somerset dwellers)

From Brixton, to the world of Sheffield, Leeds, Greater Manchester, even Scotland gets an include outside the bounds of the titular remit.

What time is it in England?
What time is it in Gibraltar?
What time is it over there in Fisterra?

What time is it in Japan?
What time is it in Mozambique?
What time is it in Washington?

and its got to be done :

Philadelphia, PA

Don't forget the motor city
On the streets of Brazil

Way down in L.A., everyday
Dancing in the street
Cross in China too
Me and you
Dancing in the street

Surely Roy Ayers merits a mention here.

Well I dunno.
I suppose some of us are cave dwellers, some of us live in houses, some of us like to be loose footed.
I'm a ramblin' man.

Tinie Tempah's never been to Scunthorpe. But he has been to Southampton.

I was a bit disappointed when I finally got the Payback lp and it didn´t have the DJ shout outs over the top like my 45 did.
