Gotta admit, my SouthSide spirit loves Viva Sea-Tac. And that's where my vote rests.

Found a newish song about Seattle actually...its by the independent act, Owl City from Minnesota. Its called Hello Seattle. Kinda rad song. Lyrics: Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer In the hills and highlands I fall asleep in hospital parking lots And awake in your house Hello Seattle, I am a manteray Deep beneathe the blue waves Ill crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound And construct a summer home Hello Seattle, I am the cresant moon Shining down on your face I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill And descend inside of you Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse Feeling warm in your sand I sing about the tide and the ocean surf Rolling in the evening breeze Hello Seattle, I am an albatross on the docks and your boats I sail above your inlets and interstates Through the rain and open wind Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse Throwing beams of bright lights Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun Taken heed from everyone Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer In the hills and highlands I fall asleep in hospital parking lots Take me above your light Carry me through the night Hold me secure in flight Sing me to sleep tonight Take me above your light (Hello Seattle I am) Carry me through the night (a mountaineer, In the hills) Hold me secure in flight (and highlands I fall asleep in hospital) Sing me to sleep tonight (parking lots and awake)

We're outta groceries again/ ain't got no money to spend/ the credit card is maxed out/ so let's get high/ 'cause it's raining all the time/ and the rain's been seeping through my mind/ but I get by I like that band, and that song is off the chain. http://launch.yahoo.com/release/176462

Here in Bremerton we have MXPX's "Move to Bremerton" "Drop out of school and run away Quit your job, you got a place to stay Pack your bags and hitch a ride Bremerton’s a good place to reside" and Sir Mix A Lot's "Bremalo"

The Wedding Present's "Take Fountain" LP! Including such gems as "Interstate 5," "Ringway to Seatac," and "Queen Anne."

I'll second "Emerald City." But Tacoma has us beat in the city song department, until someone here trumps Neko Case's "Thrice All American."

How could you forget My Posse is on Broadway by Sir Mix Alot. http://www.lyricsdepot.com/sir-mix-a-lot/my-posses-on-broadway.html "I'm the man they love to hate, the J.R. Ewing of Seattle-- Picked up the posse on 23rd and Jackson" "at 23rd and Union the driver broke left-- Kevin shouted Broadway it's time to get def" "they said, "Go back the other way, we'll stop and eat at Dick's"-- Dick's is the place where the crew hang out"

I prefer "Posse on Broadway" for Seattle-themed songs within the Sir Mix-a-Lot oeuvre.
