SONG TITLES and SONGS about DISTANCES & TRAVEL

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 Man Wink

 

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!!

Radar Love live performance 

Radar Love - Golden Earring (Dutch), 1973 Single, Billboard #13, also released on the album. According to the dedicated website the song has been covered MORE THAN 500 TIMES. Yikes!

I prefer the original but . . . hey there's nothing wrong with a good cover interpretation either.

And oh by the way - Radio playing some forgotten song - Brenda Lee 'Coming on Strong' 

More than you probably want to know . . . thank you Wikipedia!

Love Shack The B-52's - 1989 on the album 'Cosmic Thing'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SOryJvTAGsRuPaul in Love Shack.jpg
.
If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
Fifteen miles to the, love shack, love shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway

.

It's a comeback song, charted #3 in the US, following the struggle of losing Ricky Wilson in 1985 (lead guitar).

Other trivia - or why I love Wikipedia 
Apparently, RuPaul (pictured, right) was in the original video, and Shaq lip-synced it on TV (Lip Sync Battle, 2016).

It's a real tin roof shack near Athens where Kate lived for a while in the Seventies, and where they jammed sometimes. Burned down in the 80s. That cool house in the video is in upstate New York.

Going Down To Liverpool - 1984 cover by The Bangles
Leonard Nimoy played the driver in the video
