Job done. Who's going to post 'Songs that mention English Counties? I've done Sussex.

Updated - 5 states not accountred for now: Arkansas Maine Maryland North Dakota Wyoming

If we want the districts & territories too then obviously 'America' from West Side Story covers Puerto Rico. 'Washington D.C.' by Gil Scott Heron could cover the District of Columbia.

Is anybody anal enough to go through and list what's taken and what's missing? Eleven to go. Alabama - Sweet Home - Lynyrd Skynyrd - #3 Alaska - Anchorage - Michelle Shocked #11 Arizona - Get Back - Beatles - #1 Arkansas California - Dreaming - Mamas & Papas - #1 Colorado - Me and My Uncle -...

Wrong link but what a great song. Remember it from my parents owning this album when I was a kid: https://www.discogs.com/release/1672601-Various-20-All-Time-Greats-Of-The-50s

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

John Stewart's 'Going Back' later covered by the Lovin' Spoonful does Oklahoma and Colorado. Meredith Wilson in 'The Music Man' has 'Iowa Stubborn' and 'Gary Indiana'.

You need Chuck Berry. Promised Land does Alabama, Carolina, Mississippi Route 66 does Missouri, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, California, Johnny B Goode does Louisiana, Sweet Little Sixteen does Texas & P.A. (Philadelphia) I'm sure there will be more.

I was inclined to support his stance against food waste, but then I looked at the pictures and can see why they didn't eat it. Looked like it had been boiled in a sack for four hours.

Who he appointed. Re-establishing the BBC's political independence should be a high priority for the new Culture Secretary. Lisa Nandy knows what needs to be done, as evidenced by her piece for Labour list when fighting the 2020 leadership election...

According to this it was common prison slang in the 1950s: https://www.worldwidewords.org/qa-mul1.html. My guess would be that some old lags made the connection and joked that Muller had mullered England after the game and that the usage spread beyond where it had previously been common.

No, the Gerd Muller link definitely looks like a false etymology. The only place I could find it cited was by some bloke giving his opinion on Urban Dictionary. The etymology sites that actually do research report the term to grind or destroy as going back centuries and the use to mean drunk...

Was lucky enough to have tickets in the away end for the first Amex game against Eastbourne Borough. It was all a bit overwhelming anyway, but came close to blubbing when Harty scored the first goal. Nobody better.

I'd not heard that. Really nice. Robert's sounding particularly Australian which gives a nice spin.

Apparently a 'muller' was a type of pestle for grinding stuff up, so I guess that 'mullering' became slang for grinding up and 'mullered' became an adjective meaning pounded or ground up and evolved to mean destroyed. It was then adapted in the 90s to mean drunk, or destroyed by booze. The...

Grant Hart?

Pete definitely sings 'mullered' as in destroyed or ruined, but coincidentally that's a fairly accurate description of Mullard's face.

From the Greek meaning standing or set. It's definitely not a misspelling based on my first post being a stats one. What am I? An idiot who can't spall? How dare you. You'll be saying next that my misspelling meant that I never noticed that there was already a user with the name spelled...

We've got something that gets around this problem. It's a cat.
