    Fifty Nifty United States from thirteen original colonies,
    Shout 'em, scout 'em, tell all about 'em,
    One by one 'til we've given a day to every state that's in the USA
    In the USA
    In the USA

    Had to sing that in a first grade program thingy. How the hell I remember it, I have no idea. Now I'll have it stuck in my head for the afternoon. Not cool.

    I got 47 out of 50, but I missed some of the small northeastern states because of my mouse here at work. :mad:

    Sad that the only reason I know which states are which....is because of the college football conferences. :D

    I learned a song to memorize all the planets in order from sun to Pluto (back when Pluto was a planet).

    I learned a song to memorize all the books of the bible (Old and New Tesatment in order)

    But I never learned a song to memorize the states.

    I don't feel bad about it. The fact that I forgot Wisconsin and Montana doesn't mean anything. It's just a memory thing. Honestly, since I have no system for memorizing the states, I'm pretty pleased that I was able to name 48 of the 50.

    "Isaiah, Jeremiah, who wrote Lamentations, and Ezekiel and Daniel who were true to their God..."

    I still remember bits & pieces of that one.
