Songs/poems that recite lists (e.g. Tom Lehrer's "The Elements"

Gwar did a pretty great cover of that (as an ending to their cover of West End Girls by Pet Shop Boys), and updated the list to include more modern artists and friends of the band.

theres a song that list every major street in LA in a song… i cant remember the name tho

Are you thinking of this song from 1947?

The lyrics:

Pico and Sepulveda [continues throughout]

Doheny…
Cahuenga…
La Brea…
Tar Pits! (Tar Pits!)

La Jolla…
Sequoia…
La Brea…
Tar Pits! (Tar Pits!)

You can keep Alvarado
Santa Monica
Even Beverly Drive
Vine may be fine
But for mine I want to feel
Alive, and settle down in my

La Brea…
Tar Pits…
Where nobody’s dreams come true

Pico and Sepulveda [continues throughout]

Doheny…
Cahuenga…
La Brea…
Tar Pits! (Tar Pits!)
