Now, I know every state already has a state song. But I heard a song on the radio yesterday about a particular state (I didn’t include that one here because its theme isn’t very pleasant) and I got to thinking, how about if some states were to change their state songs to something more relevant, more tuneful, or just different?
Here are my suggestions:
SC “Myrtle Beach Days”
Alabama “Sweet Home Alabama” (of course)
Kentucky “Blue Moon of Kentucky”
Delaware “What Did Delaware?”
Oklahoma “Oklahoma Hills” (OK, I know it’s the state folk song. But I think it ought to beat out Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma.”
Kansas “Dust in the Wind”
California "Surfin USA"
Louisiana "Born on the Bayou"
Some suggestions for state songs.
