Alright, I've given this some more thought and I have to change my pick. My final answer: Do You Realize by the Flaming Lips -There really can be no other choice for me. Hopefully it will inspire those left behind.
If you've not heard it, it's got some of my favorite lyrics.

Good choice. FL are from my old home town in the States (I lived in Norman, OK before moving to Auckland).

Nice. I just posted a Wayne Coyne interview that I dug and tagged you in it. Any stories about seeing Wayne mowing his lawn on a sunday afternoon?

Was just reading the FL Wikipedia page - "Do You Realize" is apparently the official rock song of Oklahoma (I did not know such a thing existed!)

Huh? Neither did I. I wonder what the official rock song of Michigan is? One Hubski dollar to whoever figures that one out...

MC5. That's pretty awesome. It should be.
I don't have a Hubski dollar, but I'd be happy to send you a Detroit Cheer, which is probably even cooler. Send an address to hubski at hubski.

wow. I seriously didn't think such a list existed. Well done briandmyers. mk does such a thing as a Hubski dollar exist?

It's not a serious list, I don't think (see Alaska, for example). There's a wikipedia page for state songs, but it doesn't list any rock song for Michigan, sadly.

HA! I should have read the list instead of jumping right to the MC5 -though I had never heard that song from them. My favorite is Florida: Nick Drake “Seriously, Anyone Who Doesn’t Like The Gators Is a Fucking Pussy” -Don't recall ever hearing that Nick Drake tune.
Though, a Nick Drake tune at your funeral might be just what the mourners ordered:
