What did I miss? Pardon me if I'm like a year behind the times, but...
One of my Okie cousins just sent me an email with a nice power-point type dealio introducing the "new" state song, "Oklahoma Rising."
Crap! As songs in general go, it's definitely "meh." As a "state song" it's CRAP. The words are fine, but other than that, it's a dull, plodding, moaning, dirge.
I realize we don't actually sing the one and only forever real state song "Oklahoma" [ EDIT - as ofetn as we should], but we COULD if we wanted to. And we'd be happy if we did.
Who except a country crooner could sing "Oklahoma Rising"??
We already have the best state song evar, so do we really need this piece of nothingness that's no different from about a zillion other lifeless country ballads that are already out there?
I'm disturbed. This is not a good start to the day.
