Maybe some history of the intersection? Supposedly the Roberts Drive In restaurant was there in the 50's & early 60's. -- evrik ( talk) 03:19, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Eddie Maxwell: 1912 (is 90 in 2002, 91 in 2003) Singer, Songwriter, aka: Eddie Cherkose; he contributed to many of Spike Jones' recordings, including "Pal Yat Chee", "Morpheus", "Yes We Have No Bananas", and "Teenage Brain Surgeon", wrote and sang the finally released (1994) "Alto Baritone and Bass".; Perhaps best known as the composer of Dr. Demento's theme "Pico & Sepulveda". -- evrik ( talk) 03:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
I think it was featured on the local LA broadcast of Dr. Demento's show much more often than the syndicated version... AnonMoos ( talk) 16:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
I'd just like to be assured that it is absolutely certain that the version of the song used in The Forbiden Zone is the same as the original Figueroa version. Especially the lyrics. When I saw the Forbidden Zone I knew that this song existed, but I thought "these lyrics can't be right." Does anyone have an original recording, plus a knowledge of the movie, that can set me at ease? 76.173.47.146 ( talk) 08:02, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
P&S is nowhere near the La Brea Tar Pits; they're about five miles away in Hancock Park. Not sure if this wants clarification.-- Justfred ( talk) 18:08, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Why were the lyrics removed? They are integral to the understanding of the song. 65.196.107.192 ( talk) 14:40, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
This phrase is not meant as opinion. It fairly describes things and is supported by the accompanying photo. It serves the purpose of illustrating that the song is being ironic when it ascribes importance to this intersection. Gaohoyt ( talk) 00:38, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
