Through an odd series of questions about U.S. states at work the idea came up about states having songs, the same way that The Star-Spangled Banner is the U.S. national anthem. One of my co-workers mentioned that there were, so I did a little research. According to 50states.com we do indeed have state songs. The state song of California is I Love You California.
I learned something new today.

This web page from the California State Library has all of the official designations that the Legislature has seen fit to spend our tax dollars creating (State Folk Dance, State Prehistoric Artifact, State Soil, etc.):
