The Broadway in the song is a street in Seattle's Capitol Hill district, a street on which the Mix-a-Lot Posse got lots of good grip from the 50 series tires.
The geography of the song is quite specific, going north up Rainier Valley on Rainier Avenue S., then east to "23rd and Jackson" (23rd Avenue S. and S. Jackson Street), a major intersection in Seattle's traditionally black Central District or "CD," then cruising east to Martin Luther King Jr. Way S. where "the set looks kinda dead" so "we need a new street," then by "23rd and Union" (23rd Avenue and E. Union Street, still in the CD, but northeast), and then to Broadway. "The college" is Seattle Central Community College near the south end of the Broadway commercial strip, from which they drive to Taco Bell at the north end, which "was closed" (a local joke, as that particular restaurant had a never-lit and wholly inaccurate "Open 24 Hours" sign built into the wall) so they "go back the other way" to Dick's Drive-In, a local fast food institution and, according to the song, "the place where the cool hang out."
10 on Broadway is a solo album of Broadway standards from Dennis DeYoung. It was released in 1994 by Atlantic Records. The idea for the album came in connection with DeYoung's performance as Pontius Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar as part of the 1992 national tour of the production.
On Broadway (sometimes referred to as David Campbell On Broadway) is the fourth studio album from Australian singer/actor David Campbell, released in Australia on 2 April 2010.On Broadway marks a departure by Campbell from his previous albums of swing and rock music, back to the genre of musical theatre through which he first rose to fame. The album reached number seven on the Australian national ARIA chart.
The album was produced by leading musical director Rob Fisher and veteran arranger Bill Elliott, and recorded with a 40-piece orchestra at East West Studios, Los Angeles in January 2010.
An accompanying television documentary David Campbell On Broadway was filmed by Campbell's production company Luckiest Productions at the same time, and aired in Australia on arts channel STVDIO on Saturday 3 April.
It gives me great pleasure to create a clip and post the wondrously talented George Benson's version of the Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil and Leiber & Stoller classic 'On Broadway'. Recorded for his live 1978 LP 'Weekend In LA', the track was to become a Top 10 hit in America, and a Top 25 in Oz. It was my entree to the beautiful spirit and immense talent of Mr Benson.
There is nothing the man cannot sing and sing exquisitely. His jazz/pop/r&b/soul melanges over the years, have contributed to his reputation as being a true superstar and legend. I was only 13 when i first heard this singer, but 'On Broadway' has remained a life long treasure, along with many of his later recordings, which showcase his guitar work, his distinctive sound and style and joyous approach to organic music. Long live Ge...

The Broadway in the song is a street in Seattle's Capitol Hill district, a street on which the Mix-a-Lot Posse got lots of good grip from the 50 series tires.
The geography of the song is quite specific, going north up Rainier Valley on Rainier Avenue S., then east to "23rd and Jackson" (23rd Avenue S. and S. Jackson Street), a major intersection in Seattle's traditionally black Central District or "CD," then cruising east to Martin Luther King Jr. Way S. where "the set looks kinda dead" so "we need a new street," then by "23rd and Union" (23rd Avenue and E. Union Street, still in the CD, but northeast), and then to Broadway. "The college" is Seattle Central Community College near the south end of the Broadway commercial strip, from which they drive to Taco Bell at the north end, which "was closed" (a local joke, as that particular restaurant had a never-lit and wholly inaccurate "Open 24 Hours" sign built into the wall) so they "go back the other way" to Dick's Drive-In, a local fast food institution and, according to the song, "the place where the cool hang out."
Me and Kid Sensation and that home away from home- In the Black Benz Limo, with the cellular phone- I'm callin' up the posse, it's time to get rippin'- The freaks a need a sunroof, to keep you sucka's trippin'- Everybody's lookin, if your jealous turn around- The AMG kick keeps us closer to the ground- we're gettin' good grip from the 50 series tires- the Alpine's bumpin', but I need the volume higher- cause the 808 kick drum makes the girlies get dumb- we're rollin' Rainier, and the jealous wanna get some- Every time we do, the sucka M.C.'s wanna battle- I'm the man they love to hate, the J.R. Ewing of Seattle- Picked up the posse on 23rd and Jackson- headed for the strip, yes we're lookin' for some action- the limo's kinda crowded, the whole car was leanin' back- Maharaji's watchin' T.V. with two girlies on his lap- On Martin Luther King.....the set looks kinda dead- we need a new street so posse move ahead- we all look kinda' SWASS the crew you can't forget- the Mix-a-lot posse co' rippen' up the set- My Posse's on Broadway........ UhhhRrrollin' with my posse we're gettin' kinda' bored- there's not another posse with more points scored- we don't walk around like criminals or flex like big gorillas- my homeboy Kid Sensation is the teenage lady killa'- Maharaji's on the def side dancin' like a freak- the girlies see his booty and their knees get weak- Larry is the white guy people think he's funny - a real estate investa' who makes a lot of money- Clockin' lots of dollas' we all got gold- cruzin' in the Benz ain't got no place to go- wheelin' 23rd we saw nuthin' but thugs- the girlies was too skinny from smokin' all them drugs- cause the rock man got 'em and their butts just dropped- the freaks looked depressed 'cause the Benz won't stop- at 23rd and Union the driver broke left- Kevin shouted Broadway it's time to get def- my girl blew me a kiss, she said I was the best- she's lookin' mighty freaky in her black silk dress- the closer that we get, the crazier that I feel- the posse's on Broadway it's time to get ill- My Posse's on Broadway......... Cruzin' Broadway and my wheels spin slow- rollin with my posse is the only way to go - the girlies by the college was lookin for a ride- we tried to pick them up but we had no room inside- we put them on the trunk, we put them on the hood- some sat up with the driver they made him feel good- the posse's gettin' bigger, there's much too many freaks- the muffler's draggin', my suspension's gettin' weak- Now the posse's gettin' hungry, and Mix-a-Lot's treatin'- we stopped at Taco Bell, for some Mexican eatin'- but Taco Bell was closed, and the girls was on my tip- they said, "Go back the other way, we'll stop and eat at Dick's"- Dick's is the place where the crew hang out- the SWASS like to play, and the rich flaunt clout- posse to the burger stand, so big we walk in two's- we're gettin' dirty looks, from those other sucka crews- Kid Sensation dropped a $20, and didn't even miss it- skeeza from anotha' crew, she picked it up and kissed it- her boyfriend's illin', he went to slap her face- My homeboy P.L.B. co' sprayed the boy with mace- 'Cause I never liked a punk, who beat up on his girl- if you don't have game, then let her leave your world- We took the girl with usssssss....with him she rode the busssss.... she gave the boy the finga', and the sucka starts to cussssss.... boy I gotta def posse, you gotta bunch of dudes- you're broke co' cryin' bout the rock-man blues- you beat up on your girl, and now you're all upset- she's with the Mix-a-Lot posse, on the Broadway set-
