Route 441 is mentioned in the song "American Girl," by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. ("She could hear the cars roll by/Out on 441/Like waves crashin' on the beach") Petty is from Gainesville, Florida and Route 441 runs through Gainesville and the University of Florida campus. This prompted an urban legend that stated that song was based on a suicide committed on the university campus.
