DEAD MAN'S CURVE (SONG)

'"Dead Man's Curve"' is a 1964 hit song by Jan and Dean detailing a teen drag race gone awry.
According to the song, the race starts at Sunset and Vine, traveling on W. Sunset Blvd. going west. Passing the streets, N. La Brea Ave., N. Crescent Heights Blvd. and N. Doheny Dr. The Schwab's restaurant is on Vine street. Deadman's curve could be after N. Whittier drive or the next curve after Delfem Drive.
Deadman's Curve was also the title for the 1978 biographical nationally televised movie, about Jan and Dean, because ironically it was where Jan Berry actually had his tragic accident in 1966.
The song was covered by The Carpenters as part of their oldies sequence on their album Now and Then. This song has also been covered by the band Blink-182
