Still Speaking Through Song

Countdown - 165 days

Here we go with the next installment of songs about the places I'll be traveling on this trip. This time it's Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, read the previous post. I suppose since we're getting farther west and the population thins out, that means there's less to sing about....which is why I can only think of these songs:

Minnesota -
  • Uptown, Prince (She saw me walking down the streets of your fine city)
  • 9th & Hennepin, Tom Waits (And the broken umbrellas like dead birds, and the steam comes out of the grill)
  • Skyway, The Replacements (You take the skyway, high above the busy little one-way.)
  • Funkytown, Lipps, Inc (Won't you take me to, Funkytown?!)

North Dakota -

  • North Dakota, Lyle Lovett (The boys from North Dakota, they drink whiskey for their fun.)
  • That's all I got. Apparently there's not much to sing about in ND.

Montana -

  • Montana, Frank Zappa (Moving to Montana soon, gonna be a dental floss tycoon.)
  • Montana Cafe, Hank Williams, Jr. (Montana cafe, we're a little bit out of the way)

This is kinda fun. But I think it's really kinda odd that there's already two Zappa songs on the list. That's a sign of something great!
