I'm sorry. I'm sat here with the family asking for songs with states in - we didn't have one for New Mexico, I liked yours so looked it up. Then, like the mean-spirited little shit I am, I - well you know what I did :)

We're done - now watching MAFS, which I'm not impressed with, as it seems they've given up any pretence that it was ever about trying to make happy couples - the bit where the 'experts' give them cards to read at the dinner table reminds me of the game Scruples. If you want your relationship to last, don't play it.

Also has mentions of Mississippi and New York, though he specifies the Delta and the City, not the state in either case.

Yeah I'm happy to pretend that's why I left them out

Is MAFS on again? Brits? Aussies? Penguins? I MUST hide this information from Mrs Raymondo!!
"Reality TV" is anything but that nowadays.

Ohio was actually Crosby, Sills, Nash and Young and is definitely Neil's song.

Yeah it's the British one. I'm ok with the idea of them actually trying to set people up, but it seems clear that some couples aren't well suited. Find a guy that likes slim women, pair him up with a larger woman, then act in shock at his callousness when he says he doesn't fancy her because she's a bit curvier than he's likes. 'How do you think that makes her feel'. 'Well I imagine it makes her feel crap, but you asked me why I don't fancy her, so what am I supposed to say?'.

Anyway, too much OT crap already - sorry.

The dull part of the south coast
Here’s a juicy one - Delaware by Perry Como. Can’t find a link to the song, perhaps someone can oblige?

Anyway the lyrics are a corruption of state names to fit the song, as in ‘What did Dela-ware boys’ and so on. So you have the following included - California, New Jersey, Mississippi, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas, Arkansas, Hawaii, Wisconsin, Alaska etc, etc. :bla:
