Most people I've met, don't even know that each state has an official song. So here's a site, find out all about your state(well, if you're from the US :-\ ).
50states (http://www.50states.com/)
Example=Home on the Range=Kansas
Am I the only one amused by the fact that the "Permanent Residents" section has a link to "Find a Grave"? Talk about your PC terminology!
Anyhoo. The MA state song is "All Hail to Massachusetts". Who'd want to sing that? ;P
I like our state bird, though. Chicakdees are pretty birds, IMHO. I remember the day I was passing under a tree that a chickadee was in on my way to school... and instead of flying away it just stayed and chirped... so I stopped and listened for a while.
Peace & Luv, Liz
Should I mention the Belgian song or the Flemish song? ::)
Hey, I did post here, where the hell did my post go?
salkjaslkjsalkjaslkdsj ok Im going pissed off if I dont get an explaining
Oh my gosh! There's so much info on this site...perfect for stalkers? ;D But you guys could listen to the unofficial state song...Rocky Top! (how I hate that song!) And it's not the best recording of it I've ever heard...makes us sound so country!

We don't have a song, we just have an anthem. Rats :P
And a very depressing one at that ::)

Nive avatar, Mang... I mean, Leanne! ;D
You look so sane I almost thought we had a new poster ;-D
/me deletes the big welcome sign
I am sane now. I decided that the whole insanity thing wasn't for me, since many other people have come in to take my place, so yeah.
Yowza!! The Oregon song is pretty dumb if u have ever heard it. However, the University of Oregon fight song is tight!!!
ok, this is the first post you made, so I'm gonna welcome you here:
Welcome to this forum Suomalainen!! hope you will enjoy it here!! make sure you explore the site and check out the games if you'd like (btw don't play hexxawand if you are good at it, cuz i want to keep my highscore ;-D)
The Colorado state song is kinda lame... :)
Oh well... kinda catchy, if you like some of the really old stuff, which I do... but seriously... 'The Bison are gone...' or something like that...

Welcome to our forums Suomalainen!
Hello Suomalainen, hope you have a great time in the forums!
Yes, Jeysie, All Hail Massachusetts looks pretty lame!
LOL, but I enjoy quite a bit the Boston College fight song, also made more famous by the Dropkick Murphys and their cover of it: "For Boston"
And cause I feel like it, you all get to know the words!
"For Boston, For Boston,
We sing our proud refreain
For Boston, For Boston
Tis wisdom's earthly feign
For here, all are one
And our hearts are true
From the towers on the Heights
To the heaven's own blue
For Boston, For Boston
Til the echoes ring again!
(the little known verse 2!)
For Boston, For Boston
Our glory is thine own
For Boston, For Boston
Tis here that truth is known
And ever with the right
Shall they heirs be found
Til time shall be no more
And thy work is crowned
For Boston, For Boston,
For thee and thine alone!"
Weeeeeeeee! ;D
I don't think our colleges have fight songs, at least not the one I went to. :P
I'm willing to bet that out of the five bajillion colleges here in the Pioneer Valley, at least one must have a fighting song. ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
Our college didn't have a fighting song. I don't think it had a song at all. Thank heavens for small mercies 8)
Mine had quite a few drinking songs... no fighting ones though, I don't think. ;P
You know whats funny about our flag the last grizzly that lived here died more than 50 years ago.
