"Blue Jay Way" is a song written by George Harrison; it was first recorded and released by The Beatles on their Magical Mystery Tour album and EP in 1967.
Origins
The name of the song comes from a street, located high in the Hollywood Hills overlooking Sunset Boulevard, which affords panoramic views of Hollywood and much of the Los Angeles Basin. It is reached from downtown Los Angeles via a complicated street route, which is all the harder to navigate on a foggy night — thus creating the backdrop for the opening lines of the song:
"There's a fog upon L.A. / And my friends have lost their way"
According to Harrison: "Derek Taylor got held up. He rang to say he'd be late. I told him on the phone that the house was in Blue Jay Way. And he said he could find it OK... he could always ask a cop. So I waited and waited. I felt really knackered with the flight, but I didn't want to go to sleep until he came. There was a fog and it got later and later. To keep myself awake, just as a joke to pass the time while I waited, I wrote a song about waiting for him in Blue Jay Way. There was a little Hammond organ in the corner of this house which I hadn't noticed until then... so I messed around on it and the song came".

@whysosquirrel101 Most of the Paul is dead clues are just people interpreting random noises the way they want them to sound. Still, one of the greatest pieces of marketing in the 20th century.

@vpreader I love MJ but even he isn't better than The Beatles

@vpreader You're a moron
Especially since MJ and The Beatles did completely different styles of music, you can't really compare them.
And how the hell does this sound like a devil worshiping song?
