I think we all know songs that refer to certain US state as their main theme. Can we find a song representing each state?
You can post another song about a same state if it's really better! I'll update the OP, if you think you've got a better song for a given state it can be switched!

reminds me that the french actress Isabelle Adjani (who is gorgeous by the way) made a song about Ohio in the 80's, but I think that Neil Young wins the Ohio caucus!

i could have written 3 posts with one song each or one post with 3 songs. The latter seemed less spammy in my mind. Don't tell me I could only pick one because music's meant to be heard not picked between in a one out of three contest. It was already difficult enough to choose between the Allman Brothers version and the Blind Willie Mctell version.

I was also thinking "I wonder what songs there are about Alaska." This is the first one I stumbled upon:

My Old Kentucky Home ... this version because there are several attractive drunk young women, plus the TV crew put their only field mic right in front of an out-of-tune lady who can't remember half the words and is a full verse behind the whole time, plus Mr. Hot Stuff tries to escape once they hit the high notes.



Announcer: So, the crowd and the band unnerved Mr. Hot Stuff ...

Stephen Stills:

I am a man I live alone
Don't much bother me it won't be long
Come a woman who wants to be near
Me and my mountains, we'll be right here
Colorado

Way back east in the dirt and smog
Courted a woman she had a job
Didn't want to leave her adopted home
Guess she was afraid of bein' alone in
Colorado

Way out yonder in tinsel land
Look around hard you might find a real man
Dark-eyed country girl, tears in her eyes
Needs the music of the wind in the pines
Colorado

Many's the time I've gone astray
The things I'm thinkin' I seldom say
Guess I'm waitin' for that special girl
The one who loves me and loves my world
Colorado
Colorado
