How the f do you sing all 50 states?

What's the tune?

Is it alphabetical?

I'll try doing this to "Stairway to Heaven."

Stay tuned...

...with 1:59 remaining, I limped across the finish line, having struggled with spelling massawhatsamacallit and conneccthedotsastate.

I consider this a triumph though, as I've not lived in the United States for quite a while.

...I could probably do all 47 prefectures of Japan in under ten though, or name most of the counties of Scotland in under half an hour. . . or maybe figure out most of the -stans countries if given a day.

...ok, whatever.

You forgot:Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Louisiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah,
Vermont, Wyoming,


I can't believe I forgot them. Especially the well known ones like NJ, Hawaii, Michigan and Alaska.


Still, I am a dirty limey so I think I did ok.

I got 35.

I forgot: Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Maine,
Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming

Can't believe I forgot some of those. I suck.

I got: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey,
New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin

Still, as the Tanx says, not bad for a limey. Still, I reckon I would've gotten them all when I was a geeky 12 year old, obsessed with maps... I used to while away the hours flicking through an atlas...

OK, UK types - can you name all 34 non-metropolitan counties of the UK in ten minutes? You can check against a list here

I'm gonna give it a try.
