Connecticut is currently considering two new bills to create official state songs. The state already uses "Yankee Doodle," as their official state song, but the legislature is reportedly considering adding both an official polka, and an official punk rock song.

The punk rock song in question is "Connecticut Fun" -- recorded in 1983 by an informal, ad-hoc group of Connecticut punk musicians recording under the name Punkestra. It's unabashedly pro-Connecticut, with lyrics imploring listeners to come out and enjoy punk music in the state.

State representative Diana Urban explained:

We can move something like this through the legislative process, and it gives us a chance to step back and giggle a little. I'd love this to be the state punk-rock song. If you can't step back and have a little fun, then you're taking yourself too seriously.
