Okay, so we're continuing our list of songs that about are about or at least mention the states that I'll be traveling through on this trip. At first I thought this wouldn't be so hard since there's gotta be thousands of songs that mention states and cities and such, right?
Well, I've done Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana. Now it's on to Idaho, Washington, British Columbia (that's Canada just so ya know) and then back through the states again.
Idaho -
- Private Idaho, B52's (You're livin' in your own private Idaho)
- Danny Says, Ramones (Danny says we gotta go, we gotta go to Idaho)
- I Miss You, Randy Newman (You must be laughing yourself sick up there in Idaho)
- What's Your Name?, Lynryd Skynyrd (It's 8 o'clock in Boise, Idaho)
Washington -
- Ballad of Donald White, Bob Dylan (I landed in the old northwest, Seattle, Washington)
- Jet City Woman, Queensryche (it's about Seattle)
- The Mud Shark, Frank Zappa (A nice little dance thing called the Mud Shark, now this dance started up in Seattle)
- Sick of Seattle, The Smithereens
British Columbia -
- Blame Canada, South Park - Okay, I'm just kidding. I think I'll save the Canadian songs for a different post. Maybe I'll list the best Canadian bands and performers.
Iowa -
(Don't worry, I'll explain how you get from British Columbia to Fort Dodge, Iowa when I write about the route the next time). Let's just say....North Dakota songs? Been there, done that.
- Turn the Page, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band (On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha).
Well, that's about all I could find. Anybody else notice all the Zappa I found? Moooooaaaahhhhh! This is gonna be one very entertaining ride!
