Pico and Sepulveda is a song by Felix Figueroa & His Orchestra (stage name for Freddy Martin's band). The 1947 song was frequently featured on Dr. Demento's radio show. [1] It is about streets in Los Angeles and was composed by Eddie Maxwell and Jule Styne. (Ambassador Records, 1947 (b/w "She of the Coffee Brown Eyes"))
The intersection of West Pico Blvd and South Sepulveda Blvd is in the Rancho Park neighborhood. An interesting quirk of history is that Pío Pico and Jose Dolores Sepulveda knew each other during their lifetimes.
The song was featured in Richard Elfman's 1980 underground cult film, Forbidden Zone. "Pico and Sepulveda" was covered in 2002 by Lee Press-on and the Nails on their album "El Bando En Fuego!".
