Mutton Birds Song
There has been debate in New Zealand as to where exactly "halfway down Dominion Road" is (as mentioned in the song), as an extension has been built to this road. However, the extension was built after the song was written. The song's music video suggests that halfway down Dominion Road is the intersection of Peary Road and Dominion Road, and much of the video's footage shows the area between the road's Balmoral shops and Mt. Roskill shops.
