   Used to be alt.music.lyrics would fill in the idle periods by compiling lists   
   of   
   songs with a particular theme: songs with titles that didn't appear in the   
   lyrics, songs about artists other than the ones recording them, songs in funky   
   time signatures....   
      
   I'd like to see if enough knowledgeable music fans are still reading the group   
   to create a list based on a theme that just popped into my head...if you're   
   willing to dig, there's probably at least one charting hit about each of the   
   fifty states...some are going to be obvious: "Arizona" by Mark Lindsay, "Okie   
   From Muskogee" by Merle Haggard, "Born to Run" (for New Jersey) by   
   Springsteen...with others (California, New York) it's going to be hard to   
   narrow   
   it down to just one...and some are going to be hard to find anything at all   
   (seriously, *are* there any hit songs about New Hampshire?)...should be songs   
   *about* the state, of course, not just ones that casually mention it in   
   passing....   
      
   But if interest stays up long enough, we should come out the other end of this   
   with a nice geographic playlist...one you can share with others and have them   
   thinking "I wonder what they came up with for South Dakota" or "I thought   
   Kentucky would be this entirely different song"....   
      
   So have at it, lyrics people....r

   Me?  Sarcastic?   
   Yeah, right.
