Which song did Wisconsin choose for the DNC roll call?


The NPR Network will be reporting live from Chicago throughout the week bringing you the latest on the Democratic National Convention.


DJ Cassidy and the Democrats played special tracks for each state and territory during Tuesday night’s roll call.

But what song — or songs, in some cases — repped your state? We found them all so you don’t have to. Better yet, we offer some reasons behind the choices.

Alabama: Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd

While Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ode to Alabama might seem like an obvious choice, the band was formed in Jacksonville, Fla.


Alaska: Feel It Still – Portugal. The Man

The rock band is from Wasilla, Alaska, where two of its members met in high school and began playing music together.


American Samoa: Edge of Glory – Lady Gaga

The song choice is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the territory’s position as the southernmost territory in the United States.


Arizona: Edge of Seventeen – Stevie Nicks

Singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks, known for both her solo career and her work in the band Fleetwood Mac, is from Phoenix.


Arkansas: Don’t Stop – Fleetwood Mac

Speaking of Nicks, her band’s track “Don’t Stop” became the official song of Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, with the band even uniting to perform at the former president’s first inaugural ball. Clinton is famously from Hope, Arkansas, and served as the state’s governor from 1979 to 1981 and again from 1983 to 1992.

California: The Next Episode – Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg,

Nearly all of the above artists are legendary California musicians, with Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar born in Compton, and Snoop Dog born in Long Beach. Only Tupac does not count himself among the native Californians, having been born in New York City.


Colorado: September – Earth, Wind & Fire

Philip James Bailey, one of two lead singers of Earth, Wind & Fire was born in Denver. What’s more, he turned to Denver East High School friends Larry Dunn and Andrew Woolfolk to shore up the band after some original members left, according to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.


Connecticut: Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours) – Stevie Wonder

It’s “kind of a perfect campaign song,” as Chris Willman, the chief music critic at Variety, notes on Morning Edition. Wonder is from Michigan, but that didn’t stop Barack Obama from making “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” a hallmark of his two presidential campaigns.


Delaware: Higher Love – Kygo & Whitney Houston

Higher Love has been a staple of President Biden’s campaign, with the track playing at the end of his 2020 acceptance speech.

Guam: Espresso – Sabrina Carpenter

The summer hit, which has over a billion streams on Spotify, is one of several songs that may have been chosen simply for their mass appeal — and understandably so. In June, Carpenter became the first artist since The Beatles to have two songs debut within the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100.

Maryland: Respect – Aretha Franklin

Using an anthem by the queen of soul — with roots in Tennessee and Michigan — is the only reason we can think of to pass on Billie Holiday, Toni Braxton and David Byrne, who are among other talent with Maryland ties.

The American Celtic band was formed in Quincy, Mass. The song itself describes a sailor with a missing leg, who is going to Boston in search of a wooden prosthetic.

Montana: American Woman – Lenny Kravitz

Several of the songs remaining in the DNC roll call playlist veer towards simply keeping the party going, with no obvious ties between the tracks and their assigned states. But these hits are on-brand for a party building momentum around the goal of putting a woman in the White House.


Nebraska: Firework – Katy Perry

The rock band formed in Las Vegas in 2001 by Brandon Flowers and Dave Keuning.

The Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team wasted no time scheduling an SEC opponent for the 2026-27 season.

Alex Rosinski confirmed the Badgers will head to Nashville on December 19 to play Auburn, a team competing for the NIT Championship on April 5.

The Tigers were the talk of the town come Selection Sunday with their 17-16 record. Claiming it had the nation’s best win at Florida on January 24, Auburn did everything in its power to talk its way into the NCAA Tournament. Instead, the team had to settle for the NIT.

Auburn has taken care of business against South Alabama, Seattle U, Nevada, and Illinois State en route to the championship game against Tulsa.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel also confirmed Wisconsin’s game against Auburn on December 19 will take place at the Bridgestone Arena. Auburn usually plays its home games at the Neville Arena, which is about a five-hour trip from the home of the Nashville Predators.

Even though Wisconsin is coming off a disappointing tournament loss, Greg Gard isn’t messing around. This is yet another high-profile non-conference game he’s added to the team’s schedule. For what it’s worth, this is only the second all-time meeting between these two teams.
