Thank you Bob and Tom

I think this is quite clever how some of these states are put together to form this song.

On this day in 1960 {February 8th} Perry Como's "Delaware" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #22 and spent 11 weeks on the top 100...

Interestedly, it charted higher in the U.K. where it reached #3...

The song was composed by Irving Gordon, who wrote Nat 'King' Cole's best know recording, "Unforgettable"...

The B-side, "I Know What God Is", also charted, it peaked at #81...

R.I.P. Mr. Como {1912 - 2001}, Mr. Gordon {1915 - 1996}, and Mr. Cole {1919 - 1965}...

Fair play you`ve done me, I thought your original comment was serious, obviously I don`t recognise a nice dollop of Sarcasm when I see it, well done !

No not hard to please just expect some decent thought being put into the lyrics. If you are going to limit it to 12 or 13 then what about trying the original colonies - do you think when Vivaldi was publishing his Four Seasons they told him that it was a bit long and just to stick to Summer! Sloppy work writing this song
