Today in 1979, Ray Charles' "Georgia On My Mind" was proclaimed the state song of Georgia. Let's say Minnesota's official state song "Hail! Minnesota" somehow went away.

What songs should we play for today's 9:30 Coffee Break that you'd like to see as Minnesota's new state song?

To be clear, we love "Hail Minnesota". No disrespect to "Hail Minnesota".
