Title: Songs/Jokes about roads
Post by: planxtymcgillicuddy on October 30, 2019, 11:24:57 PM
Got the idea for the thread after running across Heywood Banks' fairly apt summation of I-80 through Iowa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mn16d8hs04)-even though it's still better than its counterpart through Kansas, as Rik Roberts tells about here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56m2qWg5OrE)

Always been partial to the Pure Potholes memes since I'm originally from Michigan.

Twin Cities filker Nate Bucklin has a song about "Highway 12"...written before the road was converted to I-394

Or when Johnny Carson would do those recurring satire skits based on those schlocky late night movies and their even more stereotypically schlocky ads - "How do you find us? You take the this to the that to the this to the that until you get to the . . . *fork in the road* (flips the map card and there is a big fork drawn on it)!!!"
