After carefully reviewing the Pregnant & Hanging Chads...I admit she does make a fair attempt at saying the Oooo & homa portion of that great states name with an emphasis on the homa portion... As I remember from the days when I dabbled in high school musicals...the pronounciation emphasis was "ooooak...la..hommma" she drops the "K" and the "L" sound in favor of the "homa" sound..." she sings oooo..homaaa....oooo.homaaa" If she's paying reverance to that musical it misses the mark... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 08:43:33 -0600 From: "Biklen, Andrea" Subject: RE: after careful review... However, the most distinguishing element from both the musical and from Stupid American is the long "OOOOOOOOOh". While "reverence to the musical" may be a bit strong for the songs intention, as a non-Oklahoma resident, I always say the state name with a long "OOOOOOh", just because it is more fun to say.

It was clearly Julie's intention to sing the "LA." But I put my faith in the local canvassing board to make this decision about her true intentions in a fair and accurate manner that guarantees all Americans their Constitutional right to enjoy and perhaps BE "Stupid Americans." ;) Sonya ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 13:36:16 EST From: GeorgeTurtle@aol.com Subject: Re: after careful review...

She definitly sings the whole wrod "Oklahoma" and it does sound like the musical. I am the canvasing board, so there you go.

I have submitted my "oooo...kla....hooma" brief to the Florida State Supreme Court for an interpretation...so far they keep referring to some obscure California case concerning Jimi Hendrix and the "kiss this guy or kiss the sky case" The good news is I'm guaranteed an answer by 5:00pm on Sunday....
