You, if you think you only know one or two America songs, boy, get ready.

You're going to be surprised probably at how many that you recognize.

Let's start off with one of their big hits.

This was a song that was written by Dewey Bennell when he and his family. He was in seventh grade, he and his family were traveling on the

highway in California and they got a flat tire. They're on the side of the road. They're just looking

around and all of a sudden he sees a sign that says Ventura Highway and all and it stuck.

It just stuck with him.

He wrote this song.

Here's a version by Raul Molo from the Quarantunes.
