Level 41

Aug 6, 2019

When did they come up with this fifty-nifty song? I never heard of it. My son, who is 18, says he never heard of it either.

It’s funny, but I grew up in New Jersey, and I don’t have any recollection of having to memorize all the states. I do remember though, very clearly, having to memorize all the counties in New Jersey! 😅

Level 54

Jan 19, 2024

It came out in 1961 apparently. My parents learned this in the ‘70s, and I learned this as well.

Here before the District of Columbia becomes a state! 😉😏

Level 28

Jun 22, 2021

It won’t because it’s the Capital of the United States Puerto Rico is more likely to become a state!

Level 59

Jul 28, 2021

Well, Uncle Joe has a little weird grasp on reality, so it actually really seems more likely that DC will become the 51 at the moment. Or at least, I haven't heard him speaking about how the Puertoricans deserve a representation.

Level 63

Well, I got them all with 33 seconds remaining... and I have NEVER learned a song for this! Haha kinda proud of myself (for those who did learn the song, congrats on finding the one place you'll ever need to know the states in alphabetical order instead of by where they are 😉 😄 ).

It's not too difficut to do them in any order. But I get block if I try to do them letter-by-ltter, not allowing myself to try the next letter before I finish filling up with the states of a particular letter.
