Oh, but surely the best map song ever is R.E.M.'s "Maps and Legends":

   Down the way the road's divided
   Paint me the places you have seen.
   Those who know what I don't know
   refer to the yellow, red and green

   Maybe he's caught in the legend
   maybe he's caught in the mood.
   Maybe these maps and legends
   have been misunderstood...

cheers
Richard
