Outshined - Soundgarden



Well I just looked in the mirror
And things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota
Oh yeah
 




The Eagles - Take It Easy :
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me

Miss every lake, miss every hill,
Even in dreams I think of them still!
And when you see them you'll agree
Connecticut is the place to be!

I've not included the States song and not bothered looking things up if people haven't mentioned a state. (Except for 'I've been everywhere' which mentions relatively few states). I could fill in some more of the missing, but I'll add Willie's lovely version of 'Moonlight In Vermont' and leave the field open.
........ and here's Rhode Island for you -

Private Idaho - The B52’s


Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

You're living in your own private Idaho
Living in your own private Idaho (oh)
Underground like a wild potato
Don't go on the patio
Beware of the pool, blue bottomless pool
It leads you straight right through the gate that opens on the pool

When Electricity Came to Arkansas by Black Oak Arkansas - superb Southern rock band


And Is Anybody Going Down to san Antone in Phoenix Arizona - recorded by everyone but Charley Pride and George Strait probably the most successful, and here, together...

I gotta gal I love in North and South Dakota - Frank Sinatra

Tony Joe White - They caught the Devil and put him in jail in Eudora Arkansas

And did he set him free that night in Eudora, Arkansas?

Emperor of Wyoming - Neil Young….but it’s an instrumental. How many styles does this genius cover?
