I'm shocked that everyone missed this one For Mississippi. It's got to replace that whatever-it-is you've got in there.

Even this one is more iconic for Mississippi than what you've got, though it's just for us leftover 60's hippies.


btw, no, I'm not from Mississippi; never been there. Just happened to be able to think of a couple of songs for it.
The right answer to the wrong question is still the wrong answer to the real question.

As an Alabama football/basketball/baseball fan, I'm about at the end of my tolerance for "Sweet Home Alabama." =)

I'm more of a fan of "Stars Fell on Alabama," but I'm more of a Billie Holliday guy than a Skynard fan. =)



More versions:





And for Illinois, I love me some Sufjan Stevens! =) How about "Come on! Feel the Illinoise!"



Or maybe "Chicago"?



Nothing says Tennessee to me like Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo":



For Washington, how about Mxpx's "Move to Bremerton"?



And also for New York, how about Alicia Keys' original version?

no just no. That song is horrible. Also Florida Georgia Line is the band and Cruise is the title.

ok i tried to put everything guys; but we already have something for a given state; you need to try and get other posters say they agree your song is much better! we re covering very decently almost all states now, i didn't think we could find that many! many great songs, a few crappy ones!

I didn't go through all the pages, but I have to object to the "New York" entry ... that is for New York City not New York State. To find the later you need to find Billy Joel
