Geography Party Idea

[Rain Man]

At some point in the future, I want to have a party where we play songs that relate to all 50 states, and people have to match the song with the state. (Yes, it'll be a wild party.)

I need songs for all 50 states. Help me out here, within the following rules.

1. Top choice is a song that actually mentions the state in either the title or the lyrics.

2. Second choice is a song that mentions a major city in the state.

3. Creative entries are good.

4. We can't have anything by a completely obscure artists. As a rule, let's say that the artist needs to have a platinum record or have a song that reached #1 on the charts.

5. Nothing hokey, like state songs.

6. It's not first come, first serve. If you've got a better song than one that's been suggested, offer it up.


Ready? Here's what I've got right now.

There's some Indigo Girls song that mentions Minnesota. "The Mississipi's mighty, it starts in Minnesota, at a place that you could walk across with five steps down..." What's the title?


Does Paul Simon mention a state in Graceland? I don't think he mentions Tennessee, but I think he mentions driving across Mississippi.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I'd replace Georgia's song with "Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the Charlie Daniels Band, and it's not the state song.

But that's me... I like that song better than "Georgia On My Mind."

[RedDread]

[Fire Me Boy!]

On Illinois, the original artist is Johnson, but I prefer The Blues Bros. version.

You figure that one out....

[Rain Man]

Tennessee: Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis



I don't think it's more famous than Rocky Top, but I should mention that I love that song.

[tk13]

I don't think it's more famous than Rocky Top, but I should mention that I love that song.
I do too, which is why I suggested it anyway. The radio stations I listen to play it far far more often than Rocky Top, if that means anything. :D

Actually for Kansas I would suggest Every Step Of The Way by Kansas' lead singer Steve Walsh from his solo project Schemer Dreamer.It details growing up in the heartland and the bands coming of age in some Kansas bars including the line...

"I remember back in Kansas when we sang this song at night,we sang
Every Step Of The Way."

I figured there would be no Delaware songs, so I found one:

Hot Time in Delaware (http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=8057) by Saves the Day

it's not really one that's mainstream or whatnot, but if nobody else can find one on Delaware, now you know there's one out there

[stevieray]

Kentucky Rain by Elvis

[Nzoner]

Is there a song called Nebraska on Springsteen's "Nebraska" album?

Yes,and it also mentions Wyoming.


I saw her standin' on her front lawn just twirlin' her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died

From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path

I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done
At least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun

The jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest

Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor head back
You make sure my pretty baby is sittin' right there on my lap

They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul'd be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world

[stevieray]

Keep on rockin me baby...Stevie Miller (tacoma)?

[Fire Me Boy!]

Hot Time in Delaware (http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=8057) by Saves the Day

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=2464525&postcount=37

By Perry Como, NOT state song, MUCH more famous than Saves the Day.

[CosmicPal]

The Grateful Dead have quite a bit:

Alabama Getaway

Estimated Prophet - California "California, preaching on the burning shore
California, I'll be knocking on the golden door"

Jack Straw - "Leaving Texas, Fourth day of July" Catch the Detroit Lightning Out of Santa Fe Great Northern out of Cheyenne
Gotta get to TulsaJack Straw from Wichita Half a mile from Tucson

Mississippi Half Step

New York - got the ways and means
Truckin' -- up to Buffalo

Tennesse Jed

Black-Throated Wind - I left St. Louis, the City of Blues

So Many Roads - Thought I heard that KC whistle
moanin' sweet & low...So many roads I tell you

Candyman - I come in from Memphis

Loser - I could arm a town the size of Abilene

Friend of the Devil - I lit out from Reno...I spent that night in Utah in a cave up in the hills

[Nzoner]

Massachusetts - Just Another Band Out of Boston (Not the right title) - Boston

Kevin,you're looking for the title Rock N Roll Band here.

[angel]

The Eagles- The Last Resort

"she came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island, where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air..."

[angel]

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=2464525&postcount=37

sorry, didn't see that

[Fire Me Boy!]

The Bee Gees did a song called "Massachusetts."

[Nzoner]

heh,if this truly going to be a party someday can we look at having Where The Hell Is Memphis by Joe Jackson represent Tennessee over Dolly Parton?

[Fire Me Boy!]

Ray Stevens, Mississippi Squirrel Revival

[stevieray]

Ode to billy joe...tallahassee

i aasume Margaritaville is in Florida.

[Fire Me Boy!]

Yankee Lady, Jesse Winchester

[stevieray]

Isn't it George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers?

[Fire Me Boy!]

How about a song update, Rain Man.

[Nzoner]

If no other of my choices get selected I beg of you Kevin that Missouri stays at home with The Rainmakers,Downstream.

Well, me and Mark Twain were having us a ball
Telling each other lies, floating down from Hannibal
With a bottle and a worm and a cane pole
We were fishing for secrets where the catfish crawl
And the Mississippi River's flowing downstream
Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream
Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream
Well, we picked up Harry Truman floating down from Independence
We said "What about the war?", he said "Good riddance"
We said "What about the Bomb, are you sorry that you did it?"
He said "Pass me that bottle, and mind your own business"
And the Mississippi River's flowing downstream
Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream
Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream
Well, we're rounding St. Louis and heading for the coast
When we pick up Chuck Berry in a little rowboat
With one oar in the water and one in the air
A lightning rod for a white guitar
And lightning struck once, and lightning struck twice
And I said "If there's a God, He sure ain't nice"
And Chuck said "God is an Indian giver
I don't trust nothing but the Mississippi River"
And the Mississippi River's flowing downstream
Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere downstream
Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere downstream
Gonna meet you in the water somewhere downstream

[tk13]

The Eagles- The Last Resort

"she came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island, where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air..."
Oooh that's a good one. I should've gotten that one before, great song.

[Nzoner]

Utah...The Promised Land-Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
I pick up my money and head back into town
Driving cross the Waynesboro county line
I got the radio on and I'm just killing time
Working all day in my daddy's garage
Driving all night chasing some mirage
Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge

[Skip Towne]

For filling in the blanks, one might go to "I've been Everywhere" by Johnny Cash (And Hank Snow). That song covers a lot of ground. Google "I've been Everywhere" and the first entry has the lyrics.

[Rausch]

At some point in the future, I want to have a party where we play songs that relate to all 50 states, and people have to match the song with the state. (Yes, it'll be a wild party.)

Born On The Bayou - Louisiana

[JOhn]

For Wyoming, this one by John Denver


"This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the Windsong album, and has also been released on the Country Classics and The Country Roads Collection albums."

Well, Im weary and tired, Ive done my days ridin
Nighttime is rollin my way
The skys all on fire and the lights slowly fading
Peaceful and still ends the day
Out on the trail night birds are callin
Singin their wild melody
Down in the canyon cottonwood whispers
A Song of Wyoming for me

Or this one:

Artist/Band: Rogers Roy
Lyrics for Song: Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming
Lyrics for Album: Other songs

Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
Why, oh why, did I ever have to go?
Why, oh why, did I ever leave Wyoming?
Cause there's a sherriff back there,
Lookin' for me high and low,
And high and low

My uncle max in Cheyenne swears he's honest as the sun;
He worked six years in a bathhouse, and he never took a one.
The sherrif finally caught him and no more will uncle roam;
They caught him working in a bank and taking samples home. Oh,

(chorus)
Why oh why did I ever leave Wyoming...

Is Detroit City Blues really a KISS song? Is it better than Detroit Rock City?

[Nzoner]

Is Detroit City Blues really a KISS song? Is it better than Detroit Rock City?

[FloridaChief]

Is Detroit City Blues really a KISS song? Is it better than Detroit Rock City?

It IS Detroit Rock City. My fault--I submitted it. Oh well...it's only a Kiss song for Goat's sake.

Rain Man, when you get the chance could make repairs?...

[chief52]

I think "California Girls" by the Beach Boys would be much more fitting than "Hotel California".

[Nzoner]

It IS Detroit Rock City. My fault--I submitted it. Oh well...it's only a Kiss song for Goat's sake.

You have a point,and there's always Ted Nugent's Motor City Madhouse if we need a back-up.

Well, Portland, Oregon and sloe gin fizz
If that ain't love then tell me what is
Well, I lost my heart it didn't take no time
But that ain't all. I lost my mind, in Oregon.

In a booth in the corner with the lights down low
I was movin' in fast, she was takin' it slow
Well, I looked at him and caught him lookin' at me
I knew right then we were playin' free, in Oregon.

Next day we knew last night, got drunk
But we loved enough for the both of us
In the morning when the night had sobered up
It was much too late for the both of us, in Oregon.

Well, sloe gin fizz works mighty fast
When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass
Hey bartender, before you close
Pour us one more drink and a pitcher to go.

And a pitcher to go.
And a pitcher to go...
