[LookOverYonder]

I'll try to get this topic started with these song titles about DISTANCES/TRAVELING   ...........

*Travelin' Man     Ricky Nelson   which made it to #1 in 1961

*I Ran (So Far Away)     Flock of Seagulls

For a different approach, songs about  DISTANCES/TRAVELING...........

*Walk Away Renee'     The Left Banke

*Ferry Across The Mersey     Gerry & The Pacemakers

Uh, I am sorry if I led off with songs which you may have wanted to post here. How about this....wait a while and then post it....or post it now ! You see, repetition is OKAY

Please understand, there's lots of freedom and latitude with this topic. Be creative....let's have plenty of laughs and plenty of wows like:  "Wow, I wish I had thought of that one!!" "Wow, that's a good one!!

You learn something everyday & nite. The other night I was watching this old flick "Arsenic & Old Lace" and I swear in the opening credits before the movie starts, I heard the melody of that Slade song in the background. I'm trying to do some research to see if I can identify the music. But anyway it seems intentionally or unintentionally that's where the riff came from.

@ripvanwinkle 96 - Your comment about the Slade melody and "Arsenic & Old Lace" reminded me of something Jack Bruce of Cream once said. He said that every bass line in rock was actually written by Bach.

@ripvanwinkle96 - Nice add. Another song I sang as a square dance caller. Did not even think of it.

[TheGent2U]

This may earn me the 1st Soduk - the anti-Kudos. Please remember that this songwriter (He also wrote "Boris The Spider".) had a peculiar sense of humor - this song is about traveling - running for your life.
