"We're coming to your cit-ay" that mentions several SEC places.

The Heart of Rock n Roll by Huey Lewis rattles off a dozen or so of cities across America, but surprisingly Baton Rouge is one of them.

FIFY.


Just because their school is named after a color, doesn't mean every mention of the color is theirs to claim.

Not mainstream music popular, but Texas music scene popular ....

“Front Porch Song” ( Texas Monthly article), written and recorded by Texas Aggies, Robert Earl Keen ‘78 and Lyle Lovett ‘79.

Only song I can think of is O.G. by Tech N9ne, but I wouldn't really call that a popular hit song

The video for "Only Wanna Be With You" shows the Gamecocks getting our asses cut in basketball throughout the video. Does that count?

And thanks, Hootie. Some Carolina fan you are.

I laughed way too hard at this.

One of the lyrics sounds like he could be talking about our fanbase:

You may be surprised by the number of songs out there talking about the Yellowhammer State, the home of the Crimson Tide, ALABAMA! Here are the 10 best!

Let's jump into the list!

quote:

#1 "Sweet Home Alabama" - Lynyrd Skynyrd

The number spot should not comes as surprise as it's really the state's unofficial song and gameday favorite in Tuscaloosa.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
#2 "My Home's In Alabama" - Alabama

It doesn't get more Alabama than a group holding the name and singing about their home.

Alabama-My home's in Alabama 1980
#3 "Stars Fell On Alabama" - Billie Holiday

High on our list, a tune featured on car tags for a number of years. Here's a fun fact, this song has been recorded by over 100 artists.

Billie Holiday: Stars Fell On Alabama (1957)
#4 "Merry Christmas Alabama" - Jimmy Buffet

We even have our own Christmas song thanks to Jimmy Buffet.

Merry Christmas, Alabama (Never Far From Home)
#5 "The Great Alabama Icons" Drive-By-Truckers

History lesson meets song.

Drive-By Truckers / The Three Great Alabama Icons
#6 "Ala-Freakin-Bama" - Trace Adkins

Inspired by a love for Alabama football! Roll Tide Trace, Roll Tide!

Ala-Freakin-Bama By Trace Adkins
#7 "Alabama" - Neil Young

A song about the racial tensions during the '60s and the inspiration for "Sweet Home Alabama" to be written.

Neil Young-Alabama
#8 "Alabama Song (Whiskey Song)" - The Doors

Such an interesting sound with its keyboard and all.

The Doors - Alabama Song (Whisky Bar) [2006 Remastered]
#9 "Alabama Pines" - Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit

Plenty of landmark shout outs from a guy who played Tuscaloosa Amphitheater.

#10 "All Summer Long" - Kid Rock

The influential power of one the greatest rock song ever shows us up in this reflection on youth and singing "Sweet Home Alabama."
