On That Note: Where the Streets Have a Name

[cyclones500]

Welcome back to “On That Note,” CF’s weekly thread for Music Fanatics, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

This time, our focus is songs whose titles or lyrics make reference to specific streets, roads, avenues, highways, et. al. We accept fictional streets, too, as long as it has a name.

GENERAL REFERENCES to a thoroughfare DO NOT COUNT.

If the street name doesn’t appear in the title, include lyrics with your clip.

I'll begin my list in a separate post.
