Sweet Home Alabama is a song that was written in reply to Neil Young's song Alabama.
 In 2009, the state of Alabama began using the phrase as an official slogan on motor-vehicle license plates, and Riley noted that the song is the third most-played that refers to a specific destination
 He claimed that the song was originally intended as the unabashed defense of Alabama, and even Wallace, that the song appears to be:I can understand where the "boo boo boo" would be misunderstood
