It's time to start a initiative to change state song. And I think The Beach Boys will back us on this.

"Louie Louie" lost by a small margin the vote to be the state song of Washington about 20 years ago. I think if we voted again it would probably win.

"Our verdant forest green,"

Reminds me of one of my favorite songs by the Austin Lounge Lizards...

"Big Rio Grande River, it flows down to the sea,
Bringing back my memories of the past
High up on Table Mesa, I feel her nearness close to me
As the evening sun sets in the west...."

This thread made me curious to see what my Provincial official song was. A 13 member commitee voted in the song "Alberta" to be our official song last year as part of our centenial celebration, and I can't find the words or a copy of anywhere, inluding on the Government website. All it says is that it talks about our great prairies and oil fields, and is available in a country or pop version.

I'm going to guess that our song sucks, seeing as I've never seen mention of it since the contest was announced. I'm also going to state that based on what I most commonly hear in Alberta it probably should of been either "workin' For The Weekend" by Loverboy, or "Raise A Little Hell" by Trooper.
