76. “Up On the Roof” is a song made famous by The Drifters. It was written by Carole King & Gerry Goffin. The song is about the best place to get away from the rat race down in the street. “When I come home feelin’ tired and beat / I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof) / I get away from the hustling crowd / And all that rat race noise down in the street (up on the roof)”
