"When the housemaids scrub the floors they get the spaces in between." And the "gimme gimme" refrain, which I'm told may be the voice of Ashlee Simpson. Special mention as well to Weezer's "Hash Pipe," for the line "down on Santa Monica where tricks are for kids." And no song list about L.A. should exclude Guns N Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle."
