The song about Jeremy Hillary Boob Ph.D. from the movie Yellow Submarine.

I tried to identify this location when I first went through the episodes for this thread. It's the scrapyard from the end of 'Uncle Boss' in season 3. The 'Hogg's Auto Wrecking' sign seems to have been added next to the original sign. I say this because the part of the sign on the right that's readable appears to say 'VW & Compact American ...' and they wouldn't have made a sign with 'VW' named on it.
After re-reading this thread I spotted MaryAnne's post with the pictures of Robert Culp (does she have any other kind) outside the San Fernando Valley Generating Station with the cars piled up in the foreground. This, coupled with Mufn's comment that 'there are like 40 bazillion junkyards, scrap metal recycling, and car wrecking yards around there' made me revisit the area. The picture below was the clincher as it shows the run-off from the Hansen Dam at the top of the picture with the Hansen Dam Golf Course to the left. The waterway below the dam passes the scrapyard on the left, and there are no roads between here and the dam, so we must be on Glenoaks Boulevard, just north of Truesdale Street. You can see for yourself on Google Maps.
Both the scrapyards and Sheldon Quarry behind have changed considerably since filming. To help visualize them as they were then I've included aerial views from 1982. I've highlighted the dam at the top and and the two scrapyards at the bottom. If you've looked at the Google Maps link above you'll notice how much smaller the quarry is here. The 'L' shaped building at the bottom in the center is still standing, but the left scrapyard is now offices and the one on the right is occupied by a couple of car parts businesses; one selling Japanese parts, the other specializing in foreign cars.

I just can't leave those 'man' songs behind
.I think this guy misheard the recently posted ZZ Top song:

We're back on track with the 'manly' songs
. This song was actually on the album 'Pressure Chief', and not 'Fashion Nugget' as the video indicates. It's a cover of

hey man thanks for those, but what about the other billboards shown in the show?
I'd forgotten about this one until I found that I had a screengrab of it the other day. If I recall correctly it's from 'Nothin' But the Truth' in season 4. The painter was just starting to outline the blue text when Boss grabbed the brush to change "CAN" to "CAN'T".
Hoss, I got another idea/request for Hazzard signs. In the early eps, maybe 1st season, there were some fun signs inside of the Boar's Nest. I think one was the "Boom Boom Room" ? I gotta re-watch and figure it out.The 'Boom Boom Room' sign seems to appear well past the 1st season. I've just gone for a closest font match as I haven't managed to see it close up. The one in the Boar's Nest is more distressed than this.
Here's another sign from the Boar's Nest that I spied in the background. I think this may be a stock sign because I saw it in the background of a bar scene in 'The Fall Guy' the other day (it was the episode 'Eight Ball' from season 2 which guest starred Tony Curtis). Again, closest match font used.

Mr. Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan
The most famous cover of this was by

I didn't see it in this thread but you probably already know this. "The Ransom of Hazzard County" from season 6 has an apartment in it above the garage where the bomber is staying.
Roger, I think you're confusing one bombing plot episode with another. The bomber was upstairs in 'State of the County' in season 3.
These pictures are out of chronological order, but hopefully make more sense this way. We never see the bomber leaving the ground floor, but we do see Daisy starting to ascend the ladder. It's difficult to tell from this picture, but if you watch the scene you can see it's the ladder near the top left of the General in the plan view that Mark originally posted.
This is the top of that ladder (we also see Daisy reach the top of the same ladder just after the previous picture). It looks like the back wall is closer to the ladder than it was downstairs, so maybe it's a partition. The walls are decorated with various car parts, and there appears to be some kind of bed in the bottom left.
As the bomber walks to the front he passes the side wall which has several cardboard boxes and suitcases along it. The position of the wall would indicate that it's the left side wall of the gararge. At the front there is a window and an old gas price sign. This should be the window that is above the office. In the bottom left is the other end of the raised wooden divider that can be seen in the picture above.
The final picture shows the bomber looking out of the window. It should be the left window, but is clearly the middle window because it's above the 'Service' sign. I'm not sure if this is just a simple continuity error, or if it's because they couldn't get the right shot of the window above the office.

Does anyone have the ability to do screen caps from that episode? I don't have that season of DVDs yet.
I'll do them if you can wait until tomorrow - it's getting very late here

From the great album 'Little Creatures'. Don't y'all just love their outfits on the back of the CD?:

Looking good so far

Like Tevye, I can only dream of having "one long staircase just going up, and one even longer coming down, and one more leading nowhere, just for show".
I know Zero Mostel originally played Tevye, but this is from the 1971 movie which starred Topol as Tevye - he was only 36 at the time. I got to see him play the part in London back in 1994.
If the song is familiar, and you don't know why, maybe you remember Gwen Stefani's 2004 hit

Continuing with the 'man' songs:
Mention Georgia, Warner Bros., Schneider and the '80s, and it can only be ...
Cindy (in the days when she was still brunette) takes lead vocals on this track from 1980. Several of the commenters on YouTube think this is their best song - it's certainly up there with the best.
-
Guest vocals on this track are by Phil Oakey of The Human League. It was written by Jarvis Cocker of Pulp.

I'm going to go for:
Buck Owens
Riverton County
Sunset Lake
I'm fairly sure of the first two, the last was a guess

To give y'all an idea of how much things have changed in the world of motorsport safety over the last 50 years I thought I'd post this video. It's a BBC documentary about how the drivers of the '60s and '70s brought about many of the safety precautions and procedures we see today across a variety of motor racing. It starts with three-time F1 World Champion Jackie Stewart explaining that when he started racing there was a 2 out of 3 chance he'd die. He became one of the leading advocates of race safety. It's because of people like him that the tragic events at Las Vegas yesterday are almost unheard of these days.
Warning: contains real accident footage.

Great bit of rock Brian \m/(>.<)\m/
And now (as Monty Python would say), something completely different.
A very English comedy song from the 1964 album 'At the Drop of Another Hat', portrayed here in Lego.
Does anyone fancy doing songs with 'man' in the title for a bit?.
-
A bit of English folk from 1987 for y'all. I could only find recent live versions of this on YouTube, and this was the best. I saw them live twice in the early '90s - glad to see they're still going.

Thanks for passing on the news Garrett. I've been watching various other motorsport this weekend, and didn't get a chance to see the race. It looks like a horrendous accident, and it's lucky more weren't badly hurt. Here is USA Today's article on the accident. Motorsport, and open-wheeled racing in particluar, has become so safe these days that this kind of news comes as such a great shock.
Let's remember Dan's 2nd time of winning the Indy 500 earlier this year:
RIP. Daniel Clive "Dan" Wheldon (22 June 1978 – 16 October 2011)

I tried to get in before lost_sheep, but never mind ...
It's all here: red double-decker buses; red phone boxes; Punch and Judy; brass bands; Union Jack shorts. It looks like this video's director has been doing an English version of the The Cliche Challenge!

I agree with MaryAnne - it was definitely 'Z'.
