    And this guy stops me
    He'd just got in from New Zealand
    And he was looking for mushy peas..."

    All of these beg the question: which street appears in the most song titles? My guess would be that the winner is Broadway in NYC.

    First one I thought of, by America:

    Ventura Highway in the sunshine
    Where the days are longer
    The nights are stronger
    Than moonshine
    You're gonna go I know...

    Sorry, should read the original post more carefully. Unless it’s a “specific “ roundabout that they’re singing about.
