Let’s construct a city wherein all the streets are named after songs that name streets. Preferably streets that don’t exist in the world (that is, not LSD, etc.).
Here’s what I’ve got so far:
Fascination Street - The Cure
Poison Street - New Model Army
Detonation Boulevard - Sisters of Mercy
Rain Street - The Pogues
REO Speedwagon We met a young girl on Main street,
wanted to just pass her by
She was homely, so lonely, She said,
“Can I make love to you.”
We shouted 157 Riverside Avenue.
Though I think I got confused by Legolamb’s post, where 10th Street is called not fictional, but Penny Lane isn’t. And I don’t understand the “not LSD” reference in the OP.
LSD is probably referring to the song “Lake Shore Drive” by Aliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah, which is about the street of that name which runs along the Lake Michigan shore in Chicago.
I have no idea if any of these are real streets, though I imagine somewhere there’s a street named each of these things. Hell, in Ithaca you can find Penny Lane, Lois Lane, Sesame Street, and Della Street. I am not kidding.
It was very big in the 1950s. In the '60s it even became the theme song of a short-lived television series starring Henry Fonda.
And yes, it really was Jerry Wallace with the Jewels, not and the Jewels.
Shakin’ Street
It’s got that beat
Shakin’ Street
Where all the kids meet
The MC5. I doubt very much there’s a real Shakin’ Street. So now there’s a place for the kids to hang out, anyway. Besides “The Valley of the Malls” from the Fountains of Wayne song.
And the Van Morrison song is “Cyprus Avenue,” which is very much a real street in Belfast near where Van grew up. Pictures and information are here.
