Inspired by this [thread](How many hit Rock/Pop tunes mention Wisconsin?)( I swear I was gonna start a thread like this the other day…dangit…johnny come lately)
NOT COUNTING DETROIT…What songs mention Michigan or its cities?
A few to get us started…
America by Simon and Garfunkel
Roll Me Away by Bob Seger
and of course The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The songs aren’t hits, but I do have to mention Sufjan Stevens’ tribute to his home state, the album Michigan.
Especially in Michigan - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Don’t Stop Believing by Journey has the line “born and raised in south Detroit.”
Similarly, Sam Roberts Band had a single come out last year, I believe, called Detroit '67, also about Detroit.
Besides Detroit
Detroit Rock City – Kiss
Be My Lover – Alice Cooper (“I told her that I came from Detroit City…”)
eta: oops
It’s not a hit song, but Wilco’s “Spiders (Kidsmoke)” has references to “a private beach in Michigan”.
That Kid Rock tune about Sweet Home Alabama:
“…summertime in northern Michigan…”
Besides Detroit
deleted
Hehe…did you read the OP? 
On edit I see you did
I think I’d better give up here…maybe I can do better on the Wisconsin thread…
In Michigan, by Bruce Springsteen.
Wel, there’s the Lefty Frizzell classic, "Saginaw Michigan."l
Going a little further afield, there’s Jonathan Coulton’s “The Big Boom.”
Magnetic Fields’ “Nothing Matters When We’re Dancing”: “Be we in Paris or in Lansing…”
Not a hit, but not about Detroit. If there’s another song that mentions Lansing I’d be surprised.
As in the other thread, “I’ve been everywhere” by Johnny Cash. He mentions Kalamazoo.
Cadillac also
How about that gal in Kalamazoo? Well it was a hit 50-60 years ago!
