In Wikipedia's list of State songs, I see that Mass. has a State polka, a State ode, and a State ceremonial march. Conn. has a State cantata.

How is it possible Alabama hasn't adopted the Lynyrd Skynyrd song?

Also, Louisiana has a state Environmental song, which the bureaucrats presumably sing at the opening of all Dept of Environmental Quality meetings.

If I had been asked, I would have told you that the state song was "Don't Bogart That Joint, My Friend."
