Okay, Buzz readers, I know how great you are at selecting new casts for classic shows and hunting down the most buzzworthy movies, books and albums around, so I know you can handle this all-American playlist challenge! In honor of July 4th (and the great party PartySugar's been planning), I challenge you to name one song for each of the 50 states so that put together, we can make a playlist of 50 songs celebrating every corner of the country.
The guidelines:
- The state name can either be in the title of the song or in a song lyric.
- If the state name is in a lyric, please provide the lyric in your comment.
- Official state songs do not count.
So get thinking and put your ideas in the comments section below! I'll re-post this challenge over the weekend and then I'll do a follow-up post with the master playlist on Wednesday, July 4th. If there are multiple songs suggested for one state, I'll choose one of them to put on the playlist. Good luck!

"Texas Eagle" by Steve Earle
"Minnesoter" by the Dandy Warhols
"Nebraska" by Bruce Springsteen
"Montana" by Gipsy Kings (I mean, they're not really talking about the STATE, but if you get desperate)
For South Dakota, you could use "Rocky Raccoon" by the Beatles..."Somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota / there lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon."
4Whoa Whip I'm impressed. I'm even more impressed that you could name a song of my state.
5Alabama has got to be "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynrd Skynrd!!
And California has to be "California Love" by Tupac Shakur feat. Dr. Dre!!
New York: "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra.
6Alabama - Sweet Home Alabama - Lynard Skynard
7Arizona - There is no Arizona - Jamie O' Neal
Texas - All my ex's live in Texas - George Strait
New York - NYC song - John Cafferty
California - Hotel California - Alabama

8West Virginia - Country Roads by John Denver ("Take me home, country roads to the place where I belong. West Virginia, mountain mama...")
9"New York State of Mind" - Billy Joel
10How could I have forgotten "Minnesoter" by the Dandies? And "Nebraska?" Good call, nancita!
11new york, new york by Moby and for colorado-rocky mountain high by john denver
12Massachusetts: "Dirty Water" by the Standells (ironically enough, they're not from Boston despite their lyrics: "Love that dirty water/Boston you're my home") or "More Than A Feeling" by Boston (cause it's awesome, natch).
13Ohio: Ohio is for Lovers by Hawthorne Heights OR Hang on Sloopy by the McCoys--but The Ohio State Marching Band version with the O H - I O. Love them both!
14Louisiana: "Callin' Baton Rouge" by Garth brooks
15"I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana..."
Kansas - "Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!" by the Beatles is a good one but most of Kansas City is actually in Missouri! How about "Manhattan Kansas" By Glenn Campbell. (I've actually never heard it..) There aren't too many songs about Kansas. Does the band count?
16i'm from chicago, so if you're looking for an illinois tune, i reckon you should go with something about our great city.. (aka, it's nearly impossible to find a decent illinois-themed song, unless you want to go by way of sufjan stevens, in which case, there is a whole album touting the greatest of our corn and mob scene).
spoon - "chicago at night" OR the classic, blues brothers - "sweet home chicago"
as for michigan, you should definitely go back to sufjan:
sufjan stevens - "say YES! to michigan"
and some more:
jackson five: "goin' back to indiana"
17matt pond pa: "new hampshire"
johnny cash: "new mexico"
ryan adams: "oh my sweet carolina"
ryan adams: "new york, new york"
ryan adams: "tennessee sucks"
some more:
ryan adams: "PA" (one might think i am a fan of this ryan adams fellow)
18wilco: "hotel arizona"
tom waits: "jersey girl"
john mayer: "why georgia"
faith hill: "mississippi girl"
Texas/Oklahoma/Maine: Vince Gill - "
19Arkansas: Beck - "No Complaints"
(but it's overrated, that's for sure / take a bus back
from Little Rock, Arkansas)
Connecticut: Coheed and Cambria - "The Velourium Camper II:
Backend of Forever"
(over and out Connecticut / but you had your back turned
there as you faded away)
Connecticut: Aerosmith - "I Live in Connecticut" (no words
here, though)
Delaware: clearly, it should be "Delaware" as in "what did
Dela wear, boys?"

Illinois: Spitalfield - "Gold Dust vs. State of Illinois"
Indiana: Jackson Five - "Goin' Back to Indiana"
Iowa: Dar Williams - "Iowa"
Kentucky: Neil Diamond - "Kentucky Woman"
Montana: Marie Osmond - "Meet Me In Montana"
New Jersey: Taking Back Sunday - "Timberwolves at New Jersey"
New Mexico: OAR - "About An Hour Ago"
(There was a man on the road bout an hour ago / and he
was looking for a ride to New Mexico)
The Vince Gill song above should read "What The Cowgirls Do"
20Texas: (Have you ever been down to Texas / Down around San Antone / They love to go all night and treat you right / And party till the cows come home)
Oklahoma: (They ain't no different up in Oklahoma / They ain't afraid to stay up 'til dawn / They love to cut a run and chug a lug / Longnecks 'til their money's all gone)
Maine: (There's cowgirls all across the country / From Baton Rouge to Bangor Maine / It ain't hard to see they'll be the death of me / They're gonna drive my little heart insane)
alabama: sweet home alabama by lynyrd skynyrd
21california: californication by red hot chili peppers or better california by phantom planet!
new york: new york by u2
Little Texas - "God Blessed Texas"
The band and song title are both perfect!
"100% Texan" by Kevin Fowler is also great, but I suppose people out of the Texas country scene haven't really heard of him...
22i will do more thinking about this from work, but what about california by rufus wainwright?
23north carolina: "carolina in my mind" by james taylor
24Georgia- "Why Georgia", John Mayer
25My favorite Mississippi song, of late, is "Down in Mississippi (Up to No Good)" by Sugarland. Great for running too!
26"Minnesota Girl"-Green Day
"North Dakota Boy"-Lyle Lovett
That's all I've got for now!
27Few more:
"Wisconsin is not a Country"-33Degree
28"Alaska Chic"-No-Fi Soul Rebellion
"South Dakota Hairdo"-Joe West
"Iowa Ditch Weed"-Larry Heagle
"Rhode Island Freakout"-Kinski
Alabama - Sweet Home Alabama
29Tennessee - Tennessee Waltz

Georgia - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
Ohio & Texas - Ohio (Come Back to Texas) [Bowling for Soup]
New York - New York State of Mind (Billy Joel)

Carolinas & California - Heads Carolina, Tails California (JoDee Messina)
Lousiana & Mississippi - Lousiana Woman, Mississippi Man (Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn)
Idaho - Private Idaho (B-52's)
Whip is a machine! You go girl!
30Any song to represent Kentucky MUST come from the original country boyz, Nappy Roots, no question. Forget all those other playas and poseurs, the Nappy boys are the original and the best when it comes to repping their home state.
And while they do have a song called "Kentucky Mud," their best representation Bluegrass life is "Awnaw," featuring the lyric:
"Kentucky mud, them kinfolk, twankies with them hundred-spokes/Skullied on that front po'ch, plus you know they got 'dro."
Their song "Slums" also has one of the best intros ever:
"Let's get this motherf***er crunkin' from Kentucky to Baghdad"
but since representing Kentucky means much, much more than representing the slums, the best choice to represent the great state of Kentucky is:
KENTUCKY - NAPPY ROOTS "AWNAW"
Also because if a country song or a My Morning Jacket song gets picked there will be hell to pay.
31Ok, I had to find some songs for all the states I've lived in and here's what I've come up with:
Tennessee and Colorado: Tennessee Christmas (Amy Grant) "I know there's more snow up in Colorado than my roof will ever see, but a tender Tennessee Christmas is the only Christmas for me"
Wyoming: Song of Wyoming - Chris LeDoux
Virginia: Virginia - Clipse
Oklahoma and Texas: Oklahoma-Texas Line - Rascal Flatts
Oklahoma: I Ain't in Checotah Anymore - Carrie Underwood "I miss the big blue skies,
the Oklahoma kind."
Ok, I'm spent.
32Kentucky - "Oh My Sweet Carolina" Ryan Adams - lyric : "I miss Kentucky and I miss my family, All the sweetest winds they blow across the south"
I suppose it could work for South Carolina as well, I just love the verse
33I've got two for Massachusetts!
Roadrunner by Modern Lovers - "I'm in love with Massachusetts" (and one of my all time favorite songs)
Umass by The Pixies - "University....Of...Massachusetts, please"

Texas has to be "God Blessed Texas" by Little Texas

Um, if Buzz doesn't want to use it, she doesn't have to. It's also a fabulous pop song and it was recorded 19 years before the state of Georgia adopted it as their official song.
It's Buzz's call.
49I could probably listen to nothing but Johnny Cash on a road trip, so that's what this is...
