The Beatles', "A Day in the Life"
The Lyrics: ...."4000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire...."
Why: Peter made the right connection, but said that this line in the song was derived from the name of unofficial fanzine for Blackburn Rovers - wrong! It's the other way around. The fanzine adopted its name some 15+ years later from the lyric. The line with "4000 [pot-]holes" in the song was a disparaging, but accurate, observation of the condition of the town's roads.
