I spent an entire year learning the state history of NYS, and no song for me. The state bird is the bluebird, though.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

The state song like anthem-y? Or the song that's all "Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas"?

I love how we are all flailing on the state song question. Except of course msbelle, who knows stuff. Me? If California has a state song, I don't know nut'in' about it.

Most state songs are unknown, I think.

Because books.
All I know is someone wanted "Born to Run" to be NJ's and that got shot down pretty quick.
I have no idea what Delaware's song is -- that's where I was born.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Virginia (from memory):
- State Bird: Cardinal
- State Motto: Sic Semper Tyrannis!
- State Flower: Dogwood
- State Song; Who the hell knows?

I know the CT state song! Okay, probably everyone knows it, since it is Yankee Doodle. Similarly, VA and Carry Me Back To Old Virginia.
I also did know that the KY state song is My Old Kentucky Home, and MD is Maryland My Maryland, but only because of horse racing.
TN has SIX state songs. That seems like a little much.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Louisiana state song = You Are My Sunshine, so, yeah, everybody knows it. Although I think I heard they changed it recently, or added a more about the state sounding song, so maybe not anymore. But when I was in Elementary school, that was the case.
Man, the book store sitting sounds great. I'd do it, but I'd have to get a house sitter to walk the dog and feed the cats and that's just too complicated. I would chip in for travel expenses so a buffistas could have that gig, definitely.
