There aren't a lot of songs about LA as a whole, but there are plenty of tunes about its neighborhoods and streets. Here are a few:

• Hooray for Hollywood--The Warner/Vitaphone Orchestra (1937)

• Sepulveda--The King's Jesters (1946)

• San Fernando Valley--Bing Crosby (1943)

• Watts--The Chanters (1955)

• Pico & Sepulveda--Felix Figueroa & His Orchestra (1947)

• Route 88--The King Cole Trio (1946)

• Central Avenue Blues--Pee Wee Crayton (1949)

• MacArthur Park--Richard Harris (1968)

Hooray for Hollywood is used a a metonym for the film industry, not the neighborhood.
