omg i luv this video!!!!! i luv wakko and how he sings this song. i think tht this is the best video on how to learn ur states. p.s. poor little wakko
@jsly621 No, it's Salem. Salem is only about forty miles south of Portland, and Portland is right on the border of Washington, sharing the Columbia River with Vancouver, WA
@jsly621, heh, just to nitpick your nitpick, Salem's location is actually correct. Note that the star is noticeably south of the Columbia River where Portland is, but not so south as to mistaken it for Eugene =P
WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS HATERS PUTTING DISLIKES I BET THEY REALLY LIKE IT BUT THEY JUST WANT TO BE HATERS! oo and really my world geo teacher showed us this! at rogers high school!
Isn't anyone bothered that Capitol with an "O" refers to the actual building, the town/city that is the seat of government is spelled Capital, with an "A"!!!! And Maryland is not known for clam chowder at all - that is a New England thing. Maryland is known for crabs!
The sad part is that this show is STILL better than .... at least a good 75% of the CRAP that air on television nowadays labeled "cartoons", and a great way to learn your 50 states
@drAGONSOLDIER1234 only if they bring it back the way it was, which you know won't happen. who ever would bring it back would try to update it so it would really suck
@JoshWhitaker87 EXACTLY! If they bring it back, which they will(by force), they'd better not change it(or i will rain vengeance upon them by throwing tacos and monkey crap at them!
Haven't been able to find the original comment, but I assume it's about how silly it is he says Maryland has great clam chowder instead of mentioning our crabs or whatever, but hey, it's just a big slap in the face to New England to say that the best clam chowder comes from here and not there. It is true by the way ...
@megapolon Back then, they could sneak that past censors; actually, they got a LOT of stuff past the censors. It's not until I got older did I get some of the more adult jokes. Doesn't change the fact it's a wonderful show.

@megapolon XD Yeah man. That kind of stuff just flew over the kids heads. Back then, they could sneak that past censors; actually, they got a LOT of stuff past the censors. It's not until I got older did I get some of the more adult jokes. Doesn't change the fact it's a wonderful show.
Animaniacs was a great show, and this song rules - but Wakko gets one capital wrong. Not mispronounced, not "the star is in the wrong place on the map", but just plain WRONG. My trivia challenge to you - which state's capital does he get wrong?
@0xLoveisWarx0 -- That's no error. Emcee on JEOPARDY would always tell contestant "Question please" following a correct response not in question form. The error was indeed including Washington DC since DC is NOT a state!
My, over a decade later and after the show is over, people are still picking at this. Wakko rules, ya'll. Be happy in the fact that he mentioned your state :D
Has anyone one noticed Wakko is 7, Yakko is in 3rd grade (Im in 8th grade and he is smarter than I am)<--- a little off topic... Getting back to the point, Wakko is 7 Yakko is like, 9 or something yet Wakko's voice is like 3 times deeper than Yakkos?
Stupid? Brother, he just named all 50 states and all 50 state capitals of a country he isn't from (English accent). How many state capitals can you name? How many states?
Don't worry- A cousin of mine didn't believe me when I told her Hawaii was a state.
You have the word “capital” misspelled all over the place. While admittedly the source video material from Animaniacs already has the spelling mistake in it, that is no excuse for perpetuating it.
