SONGS You Have Clinched...

[thenetwork]

Through the years, there have been songs across many musical genres with titles containing routes, specific places and cities. 

Which song titles have you "clinched"?  I'll start with 2:

"Dead Man's Curve"/Jan & Dean -- This song specifically mentions a sharp curve of Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills, CA.  To clinch this song it has to be this specific curve.

"Wolf Creek Pass"/C.W McCall -- US-160 between South Fork and Pagosa Springs, CO.

Others???

No.

"Highway 61 Revisited" - I clinched current US 61 in 2015, along with its historic Minnesota segments in the years prior.

I would say that only a current or former resident of the Windy City could clinch "Sweet Home Chicago".

To paraphrase Sweet Baby James, I've clinched the Turnpike from Stockbridge to (Downtown) Boston

From Born to Run: I've clinched Highway 9 (in CT), only parts of US 9 in NJ and NY.

Songs that one could clinch:
Carefree Highway - Gordon Lightfoot
Ventura Highway - America

[Big John]

How about Lake Shore Drive by Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah?

[Roadgeek2500]

Does "On the Way to Cape May" by Al Alberts require clinching the whole Garden State Parkway?

On second thought, the song starts in Ocean City so all you'd have to do is clinch Ocean Drive from OC down to Cape May.

Of course "Get Your Kicks on Route 66" has to be the most famous highway-related song title.

If anyone has clinched "I've Been Everywhere (Man)", you win the Internet.

"85" by the Youngbloodz. They were naturally talking about the Atlanta segment but I clinched the whole thing

I haven't actually clinched this one, but this is definitely one of the songs in my Music library.
Pacific Coast Highway by Kavinsky

Pacific Coast Highway by Kavinsky

I almost forgot about the PCH. There's a song I like called "California 1" by Con Funk Shun. I wonder if anyone on here clinched that road (I've never been to the west coast myself)

Speaking of potential west-coast clinches:  (US) "Route 101" by Herb Alpert.

Others I thought of, but haven't clinched:

"Route 66" -- Various
"Nutbush (TN) City Limits" (US-19) -- Tina Turner, Bob Seger
"On Broadway" (NYC) -- The Drifters, George Benson

"On Broadway" (NYC) -- The Drifters, George Benson

I just realized I'm missing Broadway below 28th St  I gotta try to remember it the next time I'm there

Speaking of Broadway, I have definitely clinched "Give My Regards To Broadway".

Songs that one could clinch:

Ventura Highway - America

Part of the route (US 101) is freeway in the 1970s (San Fernando valley, L.A.), part of it was then rural stretch of highway between Thousand Oaks and Ventura/Oxnard.

"I love LA" by Randy Newman lists several streets in LA (Imperial Highway, Victory Blvd, 6th street, and others)
"All I wanna do" by Cheryl Crowe would require clinching Santa Monica Blvd

And I believe to clinch "dead man's curve" you have to do more than just drive the curve on the west end of Beverly Hills.  You should at least drive from Sunset/Vine to the curve, but ideally clinch all of Sunset from Union Station (including the parts now known as Cesar Chavez) to PCH.

Not a song, but back in 1984 when my brother and I were in Los Angeles, we drove around doing the "Firesign Theater Tour", checking out locations like Big Tajounga Canyon and Mullhollan Drive, the Antelope (Valley) Freeway, and streets like Pico and Alverez that were used as character names in some of their skits.
