Rascals Flats' Life is a Highway, and I have to hear it all day long --if it gets stuck in my head, which it often does.

What makes the worst answer is that it's a cover of a song written and performed by a Canadian.

Well thank you for sharing. Now you're not the only one with that earworm.

Route 66, because Americans hate the past—and they especially look back on the 1950s with disdain, a dark blotch on American history to be forgotten and moved on from.

It's probably the Cochrane version I'm thinking of. Couldn't remember who sang it, Googled it, and was surprised by Rascal Flatts coming up, since I thought it was by a solo artist.

You're welcome. Misery loves company.

US 52, mainly because of the confusion factor (is it N-S or E-W?).

Google Maps.  In fact, just give them all of Alphabet, Inc.

It's not the thought that counts, but the price tag.

If they live in the Los Angeles area, or even if they don't, you can't go wrong with a DVD of all the episodes of The Californians from SNL.

The 405 in the LA Metro.  Sitting in traffic provides ample opportunity to sing carols, and it passes sorta near Nakatomi Plaza, setting of the best Christmas movie ever.
