This morning's song war pitted Philly musicians DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince against Joan Jett and Joan took the crown. But why should Philly have all the fun?

This Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will go against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game that could send the Vikings to the Superbowl if they win (have you heard?).

So in the spirit of brotherhood and moving karma in the right direction leading up to Sunday, what songs do you want to hear from Philadelphia AND local musicians?
