Favorite song with a state in the title ?

[DrPizza]

Ad Libs - Boy From New York City
AC/DC - Safe in New York City
Barry Manilow - New York City Rhythm
California Girls - Beach Boys / or Van Halen (or was it a solo?)


Does Californication count? (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
and as long as you have the Mamas and the Papas - It never rains in California

Let's not leave out Vermont:
Moonlight in Vermont - Tony Bennett
or Cursive - Vermont

John Mellencamp - To Washington
And, how about "Sweet Georgia Brown" - various

 

[MartyMcFly3]

Although Im a HUGE RHCP fan, I dont think Californication counts.

 

[Rip the Jacker]

Nas - New York State of Mind.

 

[TallBill]

Oh god, Hotel California easily. Most of the rest suck.

 

[deftron]

Forgot California Girls
I'll add it.

and Sweet Georgia Brown.

were taklin relatively well known songs here . ..

Those are the only ones on that list I've heard of.

Ohio by Crosby Still and Nash is on the poll

Califoniacation wouldn't count... neither would anything titled New YOrk City
since that's not a states name (although a states name is in it)
Gotta be fair though cause no other state except Kansas I guess
gets an advantage like that.

 

[lozina]

Yeah my first thought was RHCP Californication. But since the judges deem that is not stately enough, I settled on Old Blue Eyes's NY NY

[MrDingleDangle]

[moshquerade]

New York New York - Sinatra
"These little town blues, are melting away
I?m gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if I can make it there, I?m gonna make it anywhere

It up to you - new york new york"

You mean LL Cool J ?



Anyways, to keep the selection narrowed down
it has to have the whole state song in the title
No nicknames and altered versions. (Cali, Californication don't count)
neither does "New York City" and "Kansas City", etc. since
it's specifically refereing to a city and not a state.

 

[Dudd]

Sweet Home Alabama for me. What can I say, I like Lynyrd Skynyrd.

 

[Kishan]

Billy Joel-NY State of Mind
Notorious BIG-Goin Back 2 Cali

 

[amol]

I chose HOTEL CALIFORNIA

you forgot Californication

cool WHIP in my hair

 

[dman]

I wasn't going to mention it, figured someone else would, but, still no Tennessee Waltz option...

Yes it's popular (warning music plays on page)
No it's not my favorite.

 

[anxi80]

voted led zeppelin, but overlooked gladys knight and the pips 'midnight train to georgia'. oh well, 'goin to california' is a great track, so its not a total loss.

 

[dandruff]

Doesnt qualify per the rules .. but a real good song:
the Song here

Kansas City
Wilbert Harrison

I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there
And I'm gonna get me some.

I'll be standing on the corner
On the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine
I'm gonna be standing on the corner
On the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine
With my Kansas City baby
And a bottle of Kansas City wine.

Well I might take a train
I might take a plane, but if I have to walk
I'm gonna get there just the same
I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there
And I'm gonna get me some.

I'm gonna pack my clothes
Leave at the break of dawn
I'm gonna pack my clothes
Everybody will be sleeping
Nobody will know where I've gone
Cause if I stay in town
I know I'm gonna die.
Gotta find a friendly city
And that's the reason why,
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there
And I'm gonna get me some.

Goin' to California vs. Ohio...this is the most impossible decision EVER.
I gotta give Page & Friends the props.
