Playlist Help - US of A

[Gargamel]

So over Chrimble this year I am off for two weeks to Florida. Big trip for us and I need to load up the Ipod with a few tunes to get us in the mood.

So - Americana - State names, or place names in the titles please. This is for a family audience so nothing heavier than say AC/DC - nothing offensive - just some cool sounds.

Going to California
Sweet Home Alabama
California Dreamin
New York - Paloma Faith (who did the other one recently ?)


I have a bunch of others - but want to throw it open. Bonus points if it is both a Christmas themed song and Americana

I'll have Fairy tale of New York....

[Robert Burns]

United States of Eurasia - Muse, Would that count?

if not you have

Razorlight - America
Supertramp - Breakfast In America
Kids in America - Kim Widle
Living In America - James Brown
New York, New York - Frank Sinatra
Moving to New York - The Wombats
Englishman In New York - Sting
Hotel California - Eagles
California Girls - The Beach Boys (Katy Perry's is California Gurls but i will never have her music in my music collection)

Thats just i few from my search i did in my music collection, Also one that i don't think has anything in song name to relate to the USA is Over The Rainbow - The Hawaiian Rainbow Singers, but its a great song to listen to when the window down crusing on a hot peaceful day.

Good work,

Two Neil Young songs, but you missed Alabama ! (one of my favourites)

I guess route 66 is probably a no brainer on this too.
