A Summer In Ohio from The Last Five Years
Ohio from Wonderful Town
both are on iTunes. the lyrics to "Summer..." are hysterical, here's a sample...
I could have a mansion on the hill
I could lease a villa in Seville
But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in Ohio
With a gay midget named Karl, playing Tevia and Porgy
I could wander Paris after dark
Take a carriage ride through Central Park
But it wouldn't be as nice as a summer in Ohio
Where I'm sharing a room with a "former" stripper and her snake: Wayne
Athens County - Jonathan Edwards
The Cincinnati Kid - Ray Charles
Ohio by the Ohio Players.
I've been collecting Ohio songs for a couple of years now. Here's what I have that hasn't been mentioned yet.
General Ohio
In Ohio On Some Steps - Limbek
Hello From Ohio - The Guinea Worms
Canton
The Town Charter of Canton, Ohio - Josh Woodward
Cincinnati
No Room In Your Bag - Groovelily
Cleveland
Girl in the Hi-Tops - Peter Mulvey
Ballerina - Dan Bern
Columbus
Columbus, OH - Landing Gear.
(iTunes lists this as "Colombus, OH" and I can't tell if that's intentional or a typo. In any case, I like the song.)
Dayton
Dayton, Ohio-1903 - Randy Newman
Maumee, Cuyahoga, Youngstown
Highway 80 (She's a Mighty Good Road) - Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer
Toledo
Toledo - Danny Michel
Xenia
Out of Jail - They Might Be Giants
I also suspect that TMBG's "Cowtown" is a Columbus reference, but I've never seen any actual evidence of that.
Kenny Chesney's "Anything But Mine":
"And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine"

Wow, no one listens to semi current music do they? Bowling for Soup "Ohio (Come Back to Texas) "

I think there's a difference between not listening to "semi-current" music and listening to it but refusing to post garbage such as Bowling for Soup.
