The purpose of this thread is not to share endless videos. I just want to know what song you think best represents a state.

I believe this song captures well the general feel of the State of California:

The song "Dust in the Wind" comes to mind when thinking of Arizona, but ironically that was sung by the band called Kansas. A Billy Idol song called "Hot in the City" can be used to describe Phoenix, but I don't consider Phoenix much of a true city.
