This has been discussed in the Mods Forum, now I'm putting it out there for everyone
 

The question is, did you learn the song 'Fifty Nifty United States' as a child and as a result can you rattle off the names of the states in alpabetical order?

I did, and I can

Yup, I can do it right now.

lol, the title is going to attract everyone :P Killarney is a great marketer ;)

Hey now! What goes on in Mods Corner, stays in Mods Corner! http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmilies.de/nono.gif

J/K :D

whats a mod's corner? ;)

I say ban him.




Oh wait, what was the discussion again?

who's him?

Yep! Know the song (and the States).

Yeah, we actually had a school performance and sang that song. Helped me remember the states in alphabetical order. Now if only they had a song with all the states and their capitals!:p

Don't know the song, but can name the 50 states. In jr. high we had these sayings.. sort of song like but not really... for EVERY country in the world. Divided up into Central/S. America & Europe & Africa & etc. I don't remember those, and a lot of countries have changed since then.

Now I can't get this song out of my head.

Don't know the song.

Will someone sing it??????? lol:D

Here goes! :D
