Neil Young's Southern Man for the whole south fits well!

West Virginia - Take me home, country roads

I heard a busker in a tube station the other night doing this song. It was amusing seeing the number of people coming up the escalator that were singing along.

Are there any good ones for Virginia? Preferably not country. Then again, I live in Northern Virginia, which is like a different state from the rest of it. I doubt if any songs about my state apply to my area.

In that case I'll have to find some for DC. Maybe I'll take a look at songs by Duke Ellington and Fugazi - not together, of course, though that would have been an interesting collaboration.


I completely agree with you.. Northern Virginia is kinda its own place.. I was trying to think of a song for Northern Virginia or Virginia for that matter and I cant...

Train - Meet Virginia
Billy Joel - Only the Good Die Young
Rolling Stones - Sweet Virginia

Then again...none of those are actually referring to the state of Virginia

Well, there's "North to Alaska" and "When its Springtime in Alaska, its 40 Below", both by Johnny Horton.

I was in this fantastic bar in Talkeetna Alaska, and when someone played "North to Alaska" the whole bunch of (armed) drunken Alaskans sang along. It was outrageous. 3AM drunken party and sunshine outside.
