7. Apparently you were not subjected to hours of rehearsing this song
during elementary school.

:)

Be happy! Be very happy!

5. My brother was one of the first to sing that song
Thank you, Bicentennial Celebration. x(

I had hoped that song had died a painful death, but alas, it appears I have hoped in vain.

10. I actually used this song to answer a Jeopardy clue a few days ago.
It was about the next state in alphabetical sequence to another; I forget which states.

31. In my years as an elementary school teacher
and now administrator, I have heard that whole program more than I wish to remember. Although in its defence, the kids do learn the names of the states.

71. This was the BEST part where you didn't have to sing it...
It was also really cool to just CHANT those state names:

NEW Hampshire

NEW Jersey

New York

North Carolina

North Dakota

Oooooo-HI-OOOOOOO!!!!!



Do you know that to this day I can't list the states without singing that stupid song?
