That was my idea for a Hawaii song too, but I wasn't very sure of the lyrics.

I knew that song before I knew you. Also you stole my song for tomorrow so we're even.
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

Well, I've no qualms about posting tonight, before I forget:

I was going to do the Kentucky Fried Chicken song from girl's camp! Oh well, this will have to do:


". . . some place in Mexico, Delaware, Ohio, you don't need a text to go Wheeling, West Virginia! With everything's that in ya! Down the line you'll see the shine from Oregon to Caroline, oh eeny meeny miney"

-Go Go Pogo

I know the 8 words around "Oregon" are right, at least.

So are you claiming Oregon? Or Delaware or Ohio?

I know the tune to the UMaine fight song, and I must have cataloged a half dozen copies of the sheet music, but can I remember the words? Of course not.

I actually think I'll claim Delaware.

The senator who's from Nebraska?
Guilty!
Check.
The senator who's from Alaska?
Guilty!
Check

-- Of Thee I Sing

Darn! I'm out. I looked this up to find the song title, and I'm wrong. The impeachment vote gets interrupted before the vice president gets to the senators from Nebraska and Alaska. I should have used the senatorial roll call part instead (or the senators from Minnesota and North Dakota).

Don't we now have a rule against self-incrimination? I think you're OK.

"Away, I'm bound away 'cross the wide Missouri"
"Shenandoah"

Thank heaven. I could not remember any of the songs I previously thought of. (Mostly, of course, because every time I think I've got one the state has magically disappeared since last time I checked.)

Fun fact! (Yes, I edited my post for a boring fun fact.) When I was a freshman, the JFSB was new. We made up a song with the tune of Shenandoah. I almost typed "across the wide Brigham Square" instead of Missouri. Which would've been silly, and would not have been a state name.

/boring, incriminating fun fact
