Let the Florida State song entries begin! I kind of like the theme tune from Miami Vice but is it possible to sing to that tune?

Make sure it's in Spanish so everyone in Florida can comprehendo.

The American national anthem should be changed.

"God Bless America" or "Amazing Grace" could be the "Star-Spangled Banner's" replacement.

Although there is no mention of the country in "Amazing Grace," though even in the SSB it is primarily about the flag and surviving war (at least the first stanza). Odd that, both the national anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance are about the flag, not the country (at least primarily--there is a pledge of allegiance.....and to the Republic).

Yes, this is off topic. Just ranting a little bit.

At first I thought you were talking about the Florida State Seminoles. I was going to suggest Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang". Can't help you with a request for the entire state, though.

I'd suggest Surfin' USA if all the places mentioned in it weren't in California.

How 'bout "Let it Snow"?
Hahaha only joking ;)

. . . want to change the current state song, Way Down Upon The Swanee River (Old Folks At Home). . . .

Keep the tune, just change the lyrics. Click and sing along!

THE COLD FOLKS ALL COME
Tune: "Old Folks at Home"

Dade, Broward, and in Palm Beach Counties,
Far, far from snow,
They're heading for those sun-coast bounties,
That's where the old folks go.
Just think of all the dough they're giving,
Fortunes they've blown,
To end up in assisted living
And in the old people's home.

Florida is weird and funny,
Even Flori-dumb,
But 'cause it's always warm and sunny,
That's why the cold folks all come.

Fat Germans in their shrunken Speedos
Lie like beached whales;
Spring break it's where the drunken teens go,
Filling the local jails.
Crowds lined up at a high-priced theme park,
Waiting to ride;
Kids swimming till the lifeguards scream, "Shark!"
Go find a safe place to hide!

Florida is weird and funny,
Even Flori-dumb,
But 'cause it's always warm and sunny,
That's why the cold folks all come.

Wave, hurricane, and rising ocean,
Sinkhole and swamp,
Storm forming, counter-clockwise motion--
Why am I feeling damp?
Homes picked up by the ocean breezes--
Watch the winds blow!
Gangs, gators, and a glut of geezers--
Back to the snow I go!

Florida is weird and funny,
Even Flori-dumb,
But 'cause it's always warm and sunny,
That's why the cold folks all come.

I don't speak Spanish. I don't think I can write a Florida state song in English. Nobody in the state would understand it.
