Wilson Pickett's "Funky Broadway"
Dire Straits' "Telegraph Road" Steve Earle's "Copperhead Road" and "Hillbilly Highway" There are probably thousands of such songs - these popped to the top of my head faster than I could type them |

Blue Jay Way, in Hollywood Hills (Los Angeles), California, was an issue. People kept stealing the sign. Even before the Beatles song, it dead ended into moderately sized cul-de-sac, with a great view. The home owners there eventually blocked the view, but Lookout Mountain Ave still has the same great view where it uturns directly above the Blue Jay Way cul-de-sac.

The English equivelent to Route 66 is the M25.Get your kicks on the M25 has a much nicer ring to it.
