Dionne Warwick's, "Do You Know The Way To San Jose?"

Dionne Warwick's, "Do You Know The Way To San Jose?"
The Lyrics:
L.A. is a great big freeway. Put a hundred down, and buy a car. In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star. Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass. And all the stars that never were Are parking cars and pumping gas.
Why:
The main chorus of this song mentions L.A. which is short for Los Angeles in California.
