Song about Ohio I know the songs (by people like Neil Young) which slag off Ohio, but I had never heard one which was actually nice about our State. Until now: [www.myspace.com] They have a funny little song called Ohio which is kind of lovely (except the bit about the combine harvester!). - Just thought others should know about it. http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?13,402,402#msg-402 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:47:29 -0700 Phorum 5.2.9 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?13,402,1315#msg-1315 Re: Song about Ohio http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?13,402,1315#msg-1315
By the by, Smoking Loon, I'm really sick of the unavailability of women here in Ohio. Is Michigan better in THAT respect, too?]]> baronightwolf Music Tue, 17 Apr 2007 09:55:23 -0700 http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?13,402,1245#msg-1245 Re: Song about Ohio http://www.wcsb.org/forum/read.php?13,402,1245#msg-1245
"Ohio" was Neil Young's protest about the Kent State Shootings in 1971. And Nixon was mentioned.

"Southern Man" was a protest about southern white supremacists, specifically the KKK.

The group was DA Yoopers, not DIE. They are known as "MichiGANDERS", not "MichiGANIANS". I have lived in Michigan and know these as fact. Infact, I prefered MI to OH anyday. I will slag OH any minute, any day. And Da Yoopers, a reference to coming from Michigan's Upper Peninsula, or U.P. (hence "Yooper") are actually best known for "Da Turdy Point Buck" and "Grandpa got Run Over by a Beer, Truck", although the two you mentioned are also "popular", at least in MI.
