Dunno
Song's about Yass?
Paul Kelly... "From St Kilda to Kings Cross".
I want to see the sun go down from St Kilda Esplanade
Where the beach needs reconstruction, where the palm trees have it hard I'd give you all of Sydney Harbour (all that land, all that water) For that one sweet promenade
The best I've got is the album Middleborough Road by Tripod, though none of the songs on the album directly reference Melbourne or the road itself. And there's that "John So He's My Bro" song, about our mayor.
But Wikipedia's done all the work anyway, check out the "List of songs about Melbourne" article.
Heres a few songs
-Marty Robbins Melba from Melbourne-
Once I had a silly notion to out across the ocean
The future for me didn't look to bright
So I signed up with a tanker,
got on board and raised the anchor
Stood and watched the Golden Gate fade out of sight
Nineteen days and nights we travelled
Through the stormy seas we battled
'Till we landed in Australia far away
Far from friends and San Francisco
and the Miss I thought I'll miss so
'Till I stepped ashore in Melbourne that first day
So in love but couldn't get her
cared so much, couldn't forget het
I fell in love just a little bit more and more
There I was just like I started
all alone and broken hearted
I recall the day I left Australia's shore
I was standing there and tryin'
so hard to keep from crying
The more I tried, the more my tears would show
Then a cold breeze seem to whisper
"it's the end you better kiss her"
So I kissed her and I turned away to go
Then I left Melba from Melbourne
She made my heart yearn
She made my tears flow like wine
She wouldn't leave there
I couldn't stay there
So Melba could never be mine

-Whitlams - Melbourne
She paints pictures on the wall
She eats all of the garden
She has an aversion to conviction
She calls her dog "the bear"
In love with this girl
And with her town as well
Walking 'round the rainy city
What a pity there's things to do at home
She paints pictures on the wall
I awake to see the feelings from the night before
She eats all of the garden, it's a jungle out there
And we won't return by dawn
If I had three lives
I'd marry her in two
I'm dreaming of a time
That we sit when the music stops
She has an aversion to conviction
She's more confused than ever
Won't pay her fines and wonders when the cops will get her
She calls her dog "the bear"
And walks him with me to the corner in her pyjamas
i'm flying into Melbourne......i hope my plane doesn't crash!!!!!!!!!!!
