the title pretty much describes it, I know there is a song that mentions Telegraph avenue but the only hits on Google are some crappy pop song, (not that the one I am thinking of isnt, I really dont know) ---

Is it [White Girl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WlXipLy6nI) by Soul Coughing? [Telegraph Avenue Kiss](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtuEgF3nELU) by Thursday doesn’t mention Telegraph Avenue in the lyrics. ---
