    Okay, so I cheated. I didn't come up with all of these out of my own memory.

    The Ames Brothers - The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane
    Bee Gees - Nights on Broadway
    Drifters, George Benson, etc - On Broadway
    Standells - Riot on Sunset Strip
    The Ventures - Slaughter on Tenth Avenue
    Bobby Womack - Across 110th Street

    How about U2 or Pet Shop Boys - "Where The Streets Have No Name" or Talking Heads - "Road To Nowhere"?
