    Georgia Songs

    What's your favorite song either about the state or that has Georgia in the title?

    I like a song called 'El Pito' by Joe Cuba. It's an old Latin Boogaloo song. It has a chorus that says...

    "I won't go back to Georgia"

    I heard he wrote it after he had a bad experience when he visited the state once in the 60's. Anyway I thought the song was kinda funny.

    I also like 'Sweet Georgia Brown' The Harlem Globetrotter's theme song.

    Without checking your link, I can answer.
    It's the most obvious one.
    Ray Charles, Georgia on my mind.
    It's a Hall of Famer.

    "Georgia on My Mind"...when I'm feeling particularly positive about Georgia, that song actually brings tears to my eyes.

    Of course, "Midnight Train to Georgia" is right up there too... :)

    Going to Georgia as specifically covered by the Mountain Goats. Really powerful to me.

    I also tend to replace "California" in Augustana's Boston with "fuckin Georgia" because that makes the song relate to me. Not that it's technically a GA song but whatever...

    I am a born and raised Georgia Girl and I have to say Georgia on my mind puts a lump in my throat, but I have always loved Georgia Rythm by ARS

    Man without a doubt its "Georgia on my mind" . The Ray Charles version only!!


    "Others" have done the song as well and the only I'll give props to is Willie Nelson. The "others" I won't mention because I dare not to speak their names aloud.

    Georgia born and raised<<<<<<<<<<


    >no peace I find<


    Man that is so tight
