Maybe you all could help me  with this
I am making a playlist of music for my work out time.
I had a neat idea. To put only music that has to do with the state of Michigan or cities in  Michigan in it. I am trying to think of as many as I can. It dose not matter what the style is Country rap, oldies, clasical, forties, folk, I don't care it just needs to do with michigan or some thing in michigan.

Can you think of any?

What is the title and Artist?


A big Thank you in advance for your help.

My friend from TN always sings this one to me...
I was born in Saginaw Michigan -- by Lefty Frizzell

Also, seems like anything by the Bay City Rollers should count.  They got their name by throwing a dart at a map and it landed on Bay City, Michigan (or so the story goes).  S A T U R D A Y Night, is my favorite by them.

This is kinda fun. How about the old "I've gota Gal in Kalamazoo." "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" took place in Lake Superior.
Bob Seger wrote a few about Michigan..

 A few years ago, Sufjan Stevens recorded an album called 'Greetings from Michigan' and the whole album is about different places in Michigan, although I don't know if I would choose to work out to it.  Not quite energizing enough for me.  I mostly listen to it when studying or working.
