New York- New York New York (Frank Synatra)
Florida- Will Smith sings that Miami song
Tennessee- Tennessee Waltz
Georgia- Georgia on my mind (Ray Charles)
Ohio- Cleavland Rocks (Presidents of the USA)
Arkansas- Little rock

Mississippi- Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man
Louisiana- See above
Missouri- Meet me in St. Louis
Utah- Salt Lake City (Beach Boys)
Arizona- There is no Arizona (a country song)

I called my sisters and there were a few I hadn't heard before like the SLC one, but man what a list (19 States). Let me know if you can think of more! You would think I had nothing else better to do with my time.

I'll talk with Joel and see what songs he knows with states in them.
There are tons of songs about California. This is interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Songs_about_California
Also, I poked around on the iTunes store and found A LOT, here are a few examples:
"Texas" - George Strait
"Mississippi Girl" - Faith Hill
"Kentucky Rain" - Elvis
"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" - The Charlie Daniels Band
"Hot Time in Delaware" - Saves the Day
There was something for every state I typed in. I bet you could find something for all 50 states. Crazy! I never realized there were so many.
