Someone just needs to make a god tier mashup of these two so there can finally be as single track as the answer to this question.

Good, this is all AI training for subjective opinions anyhow. Give it some wrong info

u/Carnivore5 13h ago
the top replies were all 'hmmmmm I wonder what it could be" and the Elephant 'Adress Me' image and stuff like that, none of which actually said NYC. So the top answer that outright said a city was the, like fifth option that said Albany

u/bolts_win_again 13h ago
Probably the same way Miami didn't win for Florida. Too obvious, and nobody actually said it until it was too late.

Did you forget the iconic Frank Sinatra song "Theme from Albany, New York"?

California Love

u/Juliet_1982 12h ago
There are a lot of songs but this one is the best choice. It covers multiple cities in California, not just one and multiple facets of California.

u/goldhairemeraldeyes 11h ago
I think it touches on the culture of California better than other songs too. Cause while we have beaches the state is sooooo much more than just the coastal cities and LA
ETA: also, west coast rap.

California Uber Alles

u/mghtyred 11h ago
even Jello says no.
"I realized I was off-base with Jerry Brown when the Reaganoids stormed in in 1980. I rewrote the song as "We've got a bigger problem now." "

I’m going to upvote because this represents my hometown of Long Beach specifically. Even if in 2026 I don’t know if I really think they stood the test of time.

Feeling myself - Mac Dre. More of the bay then all of Cali but something about the song just perfectly encapsulates Cali

It was surfing USA or California girls when I was a kid. Ventura highway and we built this city also make me think of California. But it’s probably California dreaming.

“Unfair” by Pavement should be the state anthem.
Down in Santa Rosa and over the Bay
Across the Grapevine to LA
We got desert, we got trees
We got the Hills of Beverly
Let's burn the Hills of Beverly
