Related: About this forumModern Lovers' 'Roadrunner' could become official rock song of Massachusetts
One of my favorites
BOSTON (AP) The Modern Lovers' "Roadrunner," an iconic 1970s ode to the joys of driving along Route 128 when it's late at night, was unlike any song of its era.
Now it could become the official rock song of Massachusetts.

I'll be honest--I never heard that 'Roadrunner" song before. I suppose it could grow on one.
