"State Songs" is an album released by John Linnell of They Might Be Giants in 1999. It was Linnell's second full solo album, following 1996's "House of Mayors". Four of the tracks on the album featured the carousel organ. This concept album features almost entirely tracks that are named after, and are at least partially inspired by, fifteen of the 50 U.S. states. The album is absurdist in nature, suggesting that there is another West Virginia inside of the state, that one can drive a house to Idaho, that Montana is a leg, Iowa is a witch, and Arkansas has sunken and is to be replaced by a ship of its exact shape and size.
