WATCH: The full Democratic National Convention celebratory 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.
AmericanSamoa: 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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

IT’S JUST BEEN ROUND AFTER ROUND. AND YES, MORE RAIN IS IN THE FORECAST AS WE HEAD INTO THE MIDDLE AND LATTER PARTS OF NEXT WEEK. CHECK OUT THE SATELLITE MAP. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING RIGHT OVER MINNEAPOLIS RIGHT NOW. THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BRING THESE CLOUDS AROUND, BUT THERE’S GOING TO BE MORE BREAKS AS TIME GOES ON. I THINK TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A DECENT DAY. THERE ARE A FEW. WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED TO SEE A COUPLE LITTLE PASSING FLURRIES. AND THEN FOR TOMORROW MIGHT GET AN ISOLATED SPRINKLE LATER IN THE DAY. BUT IT’S IT’S NOT BAD. STILL WINDY THOUGH. NOT AS WINDY AS IT IS RIGHT NOW. ALL RIGHT. AGAIN, THIS IS KIND OF WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT WITH THESE PASSING FLURRIES. THIS IS MONDAY AS WE WORK OUR WAY THROUGH MONDAY. IT’S THE SAME KIND OF STORY. IT’S NOT COMPLETELY SUNNY. IT’S NOT COMPLETELY CLOUDY. AGAIN, POSSIBLY SEEING A TINY FLURRY OR TWO. NOW NEXT WEEK, AS WE WORK OUR WAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, THAT’S WHEN THESE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS WILL BE COMING IN. OVERALL, YES, A SOGGY FORECAST STARTING ON WEDNESDAY. WE’RE NOT GOING TO RAIN THE ENTIRE TIME, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE ROUNDS OF RAIN. AND AGAIN, WE DON’T REALLY NEED IT LIVE. LOOK OUTSIDE. THAT. IT’S ACTUALLY PRETTY 43 DEGREES IN WAUKESHA AND WIND CHILLS ARE HANGING OUT AROUND. FREEZING. WON’T BE LONG. THEY’LL BE CARS BACK ON THE TRACKS. THERE WILL BE TONS OF PEOPLE ENJOYING ROAD AMERICA AND IT WON’T BE LONG. WE’LL SEE A LOT OF BOATS OUT HERE ON DELAVAN LAKE. TEMPERATURE 45 DEGREES. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE THAT COOL AIR AND IT’S NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE. IT’S COOL AROUND HERE. RIGHT NOW, 46 IN MILWAUKEE IS THE WARMEST TEMP, 51 FOR TOMORROW. IT’S ABOUT EXACTLY NORMAL. BUT AGAIN, THE MORNING IS GOING TO BE CHILLY FOR SURE. MONDAY 46 ELECTION DAY A HIGH OF ONLY 38. BUT IT’S DRY AND THEN RAIN SHOWERS WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY. SATURDAY. GREAT.
