I was going through a folder I have on my work PC which contains all sorts of random docs, such as a spreadsheet used to plan my bachelor party, a letter to my pediatrician requesting my immunization history, a list of places to eat around my office and a video, shot from the doomed Columbia Space Shuttle, of Israel from space (email me if you want this – I don’t want to post it and get hit with the bandwidth overages). I also found the lyrics to a song I learned in 5th grade which I sang in some concert: The 50 States in Rhyme Song. For all those who are nostalgic, especially for a time when we thought of states as just states, not red states or blue states, here is the song:<\/p>\n
Alabama and Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, and Connecticut and more.<\/em><\/p>\n Delaware, Florida, Georgia and Hawaii, Idaho. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, still 35 to go.<\/em><\/p>\n Kansas and Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine. Maryland, Massachusetts, and good ole Michigan.\u00a0<\/em>Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, and Montana, Nebraska’s 27, number 28’s Nevada.<\/em><\/p>\n Next, New Hampshire and New Jersey, And way down, New Mexico. <\/em><\/p>\n Then New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, O – Hi – O.<\/em><\/p>\n Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, now let’s see.<\/em><\/p>\n Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee. <\/em><\/p>\n Texas, then there’s Utah.\u00a0<\/em>Vermont, I’m almost through. Virginia, then there’s Washington and West Virginia, too. <\/em><\/p>\n Could Wisconsin be the last one in the 49?<\/em><\/p>\n No, Wyoming is the last state in the 50 states that rhyme.<\/em><\/p>\n I for one can sing from memory the song up till the “#28’s Nevada” part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was going through a folder I have on my work PC which contains all sorts of random docs, such as a spreadsheet used to plan my bachelor party, a letter to my pediatrician requesting my immunization history, a list of places to eat around my office and a video, shot from the doomed Columbia […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[431,585,671],"class_list":["post-130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","tag-music","tag-songs","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/keymasterproductions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/keymasterproductions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/keymasterproductions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keymasterproductions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keymasterproductions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/keymasterproductions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3796,"href":"https:\/\/keymasterproductions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130\/revisions\/3796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/keymasterproductions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keymasterproductions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keymasterproductions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
