Hi!

I’m trying to come up with routes that are song names for a playlist. If you can help come up with some, that’d be great!

you can just type song titles into the MP search box and see if they come up as routes

using that method . . .

Shake It Off by Taylor Swift is a route in Idaho, while We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together isn't a route anywhere . . . yet

if a route has a song name but wasn't named for that song, would including that changes the character of your playlist?

Who can find the song with the most routes named after it? 'Eye of the Tiger' has 10.

Lots of routes named after Bob Dylan tunes. Positively 4th Street in Eldo for example off the top of my head.

Well if your a Frank Zappa fan, just about every song, certainly at least one song from every album, is a named climb.
Old school DB's were FZ fans, no doubt.

Lots of climbs in the Near Trapps that fit that.  In the Dylan theme, Easter Time Too (guess that's not the title but still) but there is also Honky Tonk Women, One Way or Another, and Day Tripper at that area. Also, feel free to call out my millennial ass if any of those are wrong!

Of the 300+ pitches I've established over the years,  I bet 1/3rd of them are named from song titles or lyrics. Good fun!

(girdle traverse of Cannon). Also apparently the name of 7 other routes.
