Default What's your favorite song with a state or city name in the title?

Of all the great songs that have either a state or city name in the title I think that Johnny Mercier's "Georgia" is my favorite. No matter who sings it, I love listening to it.

Second on my list would be "San Francisco Bay Blues"...the original folk version, not Eric Clapton's.

My wife's favorite is "Sorrento"

Argh, so disappointed in myself. Can’t believe this one wasn’t the 1st song to pop into my head.

Sweet Home Alabama Lynyrd Skynyrd

I'm a Cranky Old Yank In a Clanky Old Tank in the Streets of Yokohama With My Honolulu Mama Doin' Those Neat-O Beat-O Flat on My Seat-O Hirohito Blues by Hoagie Carmichael (1945). Mentions both Yokohama and Honolulu. Also the song with the longest title in the world.

Default Favorite song with a state in it

Just has to be "Moonlight in Vermont" (where we are now) This was also Tony Bennett's favorite.
