There are times when a performer thinks a song is kind of silly or dumb, but they record it anyway. Dionne Warwick admitted as much about this Bacharach/David tune, yet it became a signature song of hers. Supposedly Hal David was partial to San José, having been stationed there while in the Navy. The unique bass drum sound was achieved by attaching a microphone directly onto the drum head.

The character in the song obviously never learned how to read a map.
...as in: "Are you not familiar with U.S. 101?"
Makes you wonder why Interstate 5 was never routed closer to the Bay Area.
There's a I-580 coming off of I-5 which goes west into Oakland
