i'm sad to say i know who did 'Object...'- Meatloaf
, although i've never seen an album like this...

also grateful dead's- caution [do not stop on tracks] from anthem of the sun

The Primals released an EP called Dixie Narco around the time that Cheeseadelica was carrying all before it.

Dixie Narco make vending machines: http://www.dixienarco.com/. I guess Bobby was getting himself some Coke, espied the brand name and thought 'Coool!'

The Italian hip-hop act who appear to find tour buses too bourgeois.

I seem to remember that the vocal refrain on Roxy Music's Remake/Remodel was actually the number of a vehicle that could be seen from the tour van.

Here’s a few ideas

There should lp called Now wash your hands.

(Nick) Low Bridge

Mind the Gap (band)
I always thought the name on our local grit bins “Lambeth Salt” sounded like a great lost soul singer.

Plus I can’t believe ACDC haven’t use “May contain traces of nuts” somewhere on their lps.

Singer song writers could use Unloading bay keep clear.

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
It's time to travel
It's time to go
All we need is long vehicle
a long vehicle, a long vehicle,
all we need is a long vehicle, a long vehicle, to go

The Big Country is a song based entirely on thoughts and observations resulting from looking out of the window of a plane (OK, not tour bus but same idea), not necessarily author's own feelings, possibly imaginary character in first person?

I see the shapes,
I remember from maps.
I see the shoreline.
I see the whitecaps.
A baseball diamond, nice weather down there.
I see the school and the houses where the kids are.

and also

I'm tired of looking out the windows of the airplane
I'm tired of travelling, I want to be somewhere.
It's not even worth talking
About those people down there.

but why is no one called the "video pirates".
also Blur had a song called "no distance left to run" after a warning message on a tape machine or similar.

i guess that Chuck Berry's Promised Land makes up part of the remainig 10%, as it was done with out even the aid of a map!

...on the New Jersey Turnpike.

in 8 Miles writes a song by looking out the window of his bus to work.

Weren't the words to this song supposed to be created when George Harrison challenged Bob Dylan to be the lyrics man, and the prompt was a nearby box?

Roundabout

The Byrds went on a lot of planes.....
8 miles high, and my, favourite, OK long after Gene Clark checked out:
Gunga Din
"Im writing this here letter from aboard a dc8
Heading into angel town, I hope its not too late
It rained in new york city
Mister rock n roll couldnt stay
The crowd was mad and we were had
Chasing the sun back to l.a.

Have breakfest with me mamma
I hope theyll let us in
Got a leather jacket on
I know that its a sin
Gunga din

Sitting backwards on this airplane, is bound to make me sick
Spend your life on a dc8, never get to bed
Settle down (settle down)
Now were over kansas, where the clouds are floating by
The whole wide world looks back at me
Just like a mushroom pie I wonder why

Have breakfest with me mamma
I hope theyll let us in
Got a leather jacket on
I know that its a sin
Gunga din"

Crosstown Traffic

also more Talking Heads - Cities:

Look over there!...A dry ice factory
A good place to get some thinking done

... for someone to write a song entitled 'About the woods we know more than woodworms' as seen on a lorry of Eastern European origin. Carrying wooden stuff, presumably.

"Haulin' Eddie Stobart"

(due on the next Bootleg Series, Bob-fans!)

Inspired by a soon to run out packet of skins.

Shake Well Before Opening from "It's Great..", (next line "Serve it chilled or Hot") probably a reflection of Shaun Willie's dietry habits more than anything.

...there's a Sophia Loren-esque character in a Martin Amis novel called Caduta Massi. This turns out to be Italian for "Falling Rocks" and is normally to be found, as you might expect, on a red-triangle road sign.

Do Not Disturb - Bananarama
Don't Smoke In Bed - Patsy Cline
Stick Around For Joy - The Sugarcubes (spotted on a condom machine in Japan?)
Dogs Die In Hot Cars [band name]
Last Chance Texaco - Rickie Lee Jones
Memory Almost Full - Paul McCartney (warning on his digital camera)
You Are Here - I'm sure somebody's used this as a song or album title

Mr. Nosmo King?

Hit 78: My Old Dutch.

I reckon there should be a band called "Ideal Standard" as every time I use the toilet I see this name on the bowl.

Abort/Retry/Fail - White Town

Given how much time people spend hunched over their keyboards, especially a lot of musicians - and given that some musicians don't actually tour, and won't have the tour bus revelation opportunity - there must be more of this ilk.

Australia's foremost Police tribute band,* Men At Work.

(*I've been told there was a bit more to them than that, but I wouldn't know; all I know is That Hit, and I don't like it-ah.)

The Caravan spin off Hatfield And The North.
Of course not forgetting Mr Dury's non prog Kilburn and the High Roads.

....is the name of Steve Earle's 2nd album. I don't know how to put the album sleeve on here(maybe some kind soul will help me out).

I'm sure it was a signpost he saw on a freeway whilst traveling through the desert somewhere. I searched for it, thinking about putting it on the Word album cover map. I found lots, but not that particular one.

I do know that he had an argument with his record company about what should be on the cover. They wanted a headshot and no mention of "The Dukes". Legend has it that a table set for dinner in a restaurant was up-ended!

These artists seem to say - "This'll do because I have just seen it on a container or out of the window".

This Way Up - Chris De Burgh
Fragile - Yes
Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi
Repeat When Necessary - Dave Edmunds
Made in England - Elton John

Still available, as far as I know:

Reduce Speed Now
Heavy Plant Crossing
Serving Suggestion
May Contain Nuts
Drink Responsibly

I read once the songwriter looked out from his hotel window and saw a neon sign that was flashing it's initials at him.

It read...

"Municipal of New York"

Montreux Casino burned.
Rather than call the Fire Brigade they wrote 'Smoke On The Water' instead.
