Official State Song

[tamias6]

To have an entire section of UP dedicated to Michigan and some of its cities, is evident that we Michiganians have enough pride in our state to be very vocal about it. But does any of us know that our fair state has an official song. If not here's a link to its Lyrics and acompanying Midi file.

Michigan, My Michigan

Come on every body! Let's sing along!

[dtown]

yep, i knew that, I learned it in elementary school music class

[LA Dave]

I think I learned it too, but always thought it was sort of a cheap knock off of "Maryland my Maryland," set to the same tune, "O Tannenbaum."

[Allison Slater]

First thing I thought of when playting the MIDI just now:

Oh christmas tree, Oh christmas tree! How lovely are thy braaaaaaancheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

So, amongst my michigan pride, I think I'll just go on pretending we don't have a song.

[BarGal]

Doesn't the music to "Oh, Canada" sound like that too?

[soleil9]

[GR8scott]

I thought it was "Especially In Michigan" by the red hot chilli peppers
