It might sound like an idea from a 1960s hippy gathering, but there really is such a thing as a musical highway.
A section of Avenue K in a Californian desert town uses grooves cut into the road surface to play the Lone Ranger theme to cars driving along it.
Has nobody told them that the "Lone Ranger theme" is in fact the finale to the Overture of the opera "William Tell" composed by Gioachino Rossini and first publically performed in 1829.
And the Yanks wonder why we laugh at them Banghead

He huffs and puffs and scowls
He paces up and down the place
With drool dribbling from his jowels.
