50 States: 50 Songs

The challenge is to take each American state, and then find a song which contains it in the title. Alternatively we could take a song title, and look for American states within it.

There are a couple of rules:

1. No songs written for musicals.
2. The name of the state MUST be in the title - not the band, or a lyrics (so Take me home (country roads) doesn't count)
3. Souths, Norths and Wests can be discounted. But in these cases, there needs to be a song for each compass point i.e there must be two songs with Carolina in them.

1. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynrd
2. Alaska
3. Arizona
4. Arkansas
5. (Dani) California - Red Hot Chili Peppers
6. Colorado
7. Connecticut
8. Delaware
