I'm from Delaware

Satiric take on the First State

[@flyinjay18]

WELCOME TO DELAWARE ONE DAY IT'S 70 THE NEXT DAY IT'S SNOWING

[@jotoqi8728]

true

[@jv6510]

So true

[@mistbros3929]

13 years later and this song can’t be anymore true

[@mistbros3929]

And hello to my fellow Delewareans

[@TheMaxundmoritz]

Delaware where the price on the shelf is the price you pay when you leave the store. Why do 49 states and DC tell you the sales tax free price if you never ever pay it?

[@TheMaxundmoritz]

Delaware where people pay a $4 toll to go on 95 between Md and Del when a 10 minute detour would cut it out.

[@FeartheCyr611]

Maxundmoritz Hautala im with you

[@TheMaxundmoritz]

The detour takes one by places that people go to regularly that sell basics like gas, food etc tax-free and the field which once had the Chrysler plant that Bob Marley worked at.

[@pisces2569]

There are a few other states with no sales tax?

[@lozerboozer]

@@pisces2569 Oregon...Delaware....Alaska....Montana...New Hampshire All have no state sales tax

[@Punkette151617]

i cried at the "no more kahunaville" part.

[@pisces2569]

You and me both

[@Etta927]

I'm from Newark Delaware and I love the state. With all her flaws :) we are well rounded. And they don't lie about to roadwork IT IS EVERY WERE! Where I live I can be in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey within an hour. Less than an hour to Philadelphia for Baltimore.

[@BmorePatriot]

Baltimore is a little further away actually. And Newark huh? I went there to that high school you might have heard of; Glasgow. I went last month for competition for JROTC from here at Maryland. It happen like around beginning of February. And we met cool people in your state from North Wilmington. Had a good time there in Delaware.

[@raddudeman1652]

Delaware, the state which everybody forgets is a State

[@andrewcalvarese]

When I stayed out in SoCal someone asked me if Delaware is in Philadelphia.

[@sophia-br8fq]

honestly though, i’m from there. nothing special about us. except we were the ‘first state’.

[@Getmoneygetracksandhoes]

sopher gopher and we have a lot of history and we were one of the 13 colonies

[@pisces2569]

That is so sad and so true

[@gatesjansen3494]

u suck buddy

[@bugsdane]

So glad I found this! I am a native Delawean!! You are a rock star, buddy!!! Hell, I'm going to be singing this all day!!

[@trentryan27]

i'm from Delaware man I'm from Delaware, there's pot holes everywhere man, all my rims are bent man

[@hendrickson12352]

trent ryan and still in 2018.

[@bonelessjimin3496]

True

[@wspuppy79]

Actually. For a mid-Atlantic state, Delaware has the smoothest roads.

[@gidmonkey982]

#Delaware Gang!

[@sherryk30]

2020 and still potholes everywhere, man!

[@jameskelly6629]

HOME!! Someone did ask me if Delaware was a government project. I didn't know how to respond to that.

[@chugachuga9242]

What is that even supposed to mean?

[@shawarmaboy4844]

Oh man, The Charcoal Pit. All American/Delawarean classic

[@tigercomet23]

haha, i've been to half these places haha, i can't believe they mentioned the constant construction. its so true!!!

[@Deejayboy]

I can relate to this. I lived 7 years in Delaware...Wyoming, DE., then Milford, DE. I'm from Philly originally and moving to Southern Delaware was a bit of a culture shock at first. Moved from Delaware to Florida in 1980. Still have friends there and visit every other year or so.

[@SpinachMinich]

100 degree day with 80% humidity *Delawarian goes outside* “Wow sure is a cool day!”

[@TheMeliaz]

Listening to this in Alberta Canada

[@MangusSteed]

I'm from Delaware, but honestly you lived in Orlando, or LA don't talk about how bad traffic is at Delaware, because the traffic is nothing in DE haha

[@ericajones5956]

Orlando is my favorite state

[@ianlewis6062]

r/facepalm

[@dannyg1392]

the bear townhouse pics... too real

[@ZooterOne]

Lyrics and vocals by the mighty Todd Chappelle. www.reverbnation.com/toddchappelle

[@socksman669]

2019 and they still haven't finished construction

[@CLMCJ55]

I see 12 dislikes and 435 likes. First, who could dislike this song? It is an homage to the First State of the Union, the United States. Secondly, its 100% true. Somebody knows somebody who knows somebody that either worked or works at DuPont. Its a parody of the matter of size, congestion, yet a state that people flock to for enjoyment. Buck up and appreciate the attention. I'm a "Murlander" and I think DELAWARE ROCKS! :)-

[@gocowboys51411]

WHAT HAPPENED TO NEW CASTLE

[@default0321]

Savannah Brown they cant handle the castle

[@Karuska22ps]

Savannah Brown New castle sucks

[@Yincvns]

Karuska22ps no it doesn't

[@Karuska22ps]

ler. stx Newark is better

[@hendrickson12352]

Probably fentanyl. Say no to opiates, folks.

[@rnnyhoff]

I grew up in Delaware, raised my family down south, and am now back in the First State. Yes, there's some truth to this catchy little diddy (lyrics are great) and there are many places I've never been to but on the whole, it's a great place to live and I love the access to the metro corridor, from New York to Washington, D.C.

[@mollie8369]

THE YELLOW BRIDGE!! 💗 I used to live in Delaware but job change has me stuck in the hell hole we call California 😕 No sales tax and affordable living are some of things I miss 😂.... also snow (actually all seasons, colors and smells in general...California is basically full of nothing but dead plants....the color green isn’t even the same 🙄) I used to pass under and on that yellow bridge to get home and it’s kinda special to me! Being 3,000 miles away, I really miss Friendly’s, Salad works, and Creation Station Shout out to all my favorite people in Middletown too! (Also please help the educational system in California, it sucks. Not even kidding it’s like 2-3 years behind Delaware and I’m getting stupider by the day 🙃)

[@ThePolarsea11]

I was born and lived at DAFB and know what you mean with fond childhood memories. The seasons were perfect with no humitity and snowed every winter to a kids delight. We eventually moved off base to Briar Park eventhough my dad remained in the A F and I went to Ceasar Rodney, but still loved Dover just the same. Although that was 40 years ago, they still have many of the same businesses that I frequented as a kid. I noticed this when I revisited in December 2011.

[@charmedinde]

That was so funny. Loved it.

[@griffinoconnor1523]

In Delaware we sing this every morning in school instead of the national anthem

[@durkadurka2323]

Anyone else from Delaware run into people who have no idea that it's a state? Happens to me all the time.

[@MindWarp420]

I'm from Delaware but I go to school at Ole Miss (in Mississippi) and strangely I'm very proud of this oddly shaped peninsula we call the first state! The waters brown but so is liquor so let's party til the crabs come home!

[@lilyofthevalley13]

One nice thing about Delaware is that it is one of the few states with no sales tax.

[@adamk4987]

I am from Louisiana but moving to New Castle in two weeks.

[@TechTimeWithEric]

I am 2 minutes on the Jersey side of the bridge, I am ALWAYS in Delaware, and this is true.

[@Dreadpirate46]

+Eric Brunhammer My family lives in Pennsville. I visit now and then from Delaware. Small world!

[@xxxSunbeamxxx]

I came across this as a related vid to one I have just posted on the start of a trip I did to the US....In that I am singing the praises of Lewes -a place I love and have returned to for over 20 years....all I can say is....Delaware is GREAT....and maybe some of the people that live there year round dont always see how much beauty and wonderful quality of life there is there....and sun...lol :) I think Delaware is fabulous!! Fun little song....:) Sunbeam :)

[@papergirl47]

And proud of it....this song is a riot!!!

[@justamess91]

was born and raised in delaware, now i live in cali. so its kinda like a flash back to get to watch this, gas here is about 4.80 a gallon

[@Getmoneygetracksandhoes]

Brings back the good old Delaware days the first state

[@marchbabi323]

I live in New Castle, by way of Wilmington. Used to be nice, but i'm ready to go.

[@missleo2003]

I grew up in new castle 😁

[@LazarusRose]

Hilarious! Thanks. I should write one for Idaho . . .

[@avalon1108]

I'm from Pa but vacationed every summer at Delaware Seashore State Park/Indian River Inlet - these were the BEST times ever. I had my first "legal" drink at the Bottle and Cork and remember great times at the Rusty Rudder. I loved the beaches. Everything was better then.

[@memorable111]

i have not heard this in years.... it's still great!!

[@rero6212]

Beautiful music.

[@totalnerdstatus90]

Best song I've ever found in my life. Middletown shoutout

[@tallbenito]

This makes me miss Delaware now, after I moved from it last year...

[@highsteel240]

When I moved from Delaware to Florida I couldnt believe how clear and bright the sky was down in Florida.

[@skumpkin5191]

The feel when they shut down Kahonaville for partying too hard... wait... they missed my favorite bar! >:0

[@jayjinpikkolazio4251]

I was born in Delaware. But moved to Tampa about 4 years ago. So this hits home to me.

[@orafire274]

This song is hilarious if ur from delaware like me and actually know and understand what he is talking about

[@harttree272]

Dela WHERE?

[@Emily95g]

This video makes me smile every time I watch it:) I'm not from Delaware, I'm actually from Missouri. But one of my best friends lives in Newark, and some of my favorite memories are my trips there to visit her. No more Kahunaville:(. That was a favorite. We always make fun of it's quirks,but I really love that place:)

[@sassyfast]

Love it Live in Alabama..but De. is home born and raised..miss it

[@Bidyyy]

Great Lyric !!! nice Greetings from Austria

[@pameladouglas4655]

[@gravenewworld82]

15 years later after this release nothing has changed and they're still doing construction everywhere

[@gusruck8573]

I've been to almost every mentioned town all for swim meets.

[@robertbenedict5648]

I've only lived in Dover for a couple of years, but I've been everywhere this song mentions hahaha

[@TheMaxundmoritz]

Do not forget the Harley dealer, "Mike's Famous". The most posh vehicle sales agency. Lots of HDs, and a fabulous cafeteria. Best of all, restrooms with nobody trying to hustle you for slot machine money.

[@kayannglaspey5904]

Love this song

[@puterboy2]

The history of the very first state is so rich. I'm surprised Hollywood isn't more interested in using it as a common filming location in comparison with Los Angeles.

[@pisces2569]

Frankly I would be surprised if Hollywood knew it even existed. I mean they made Fight Club but didn't even keep the location Wilmington, DE

[@comecorrect1]

I'm from Philly and Damn proud of it too!!!

[@kyanlte]

People always talk about all the bad things about delaware. It's actually pretty nice here.

[@emmayoung736]

🎵 I'm from Delaware Man I'm from Delaware Traffic's bad out there They're building everywhere Emma Young's from there Man I'm from Delaware 🎵

[@gucciday61]

I live in Delaware

[@BrandonBianco99]

[@atelo37]

I love that Minquadale made it in this song❣️

[@greasy7553]

[@gravyfries5785]

[@jamalblack5487]

[@Taurus01979]

[@joiealina]

I'm from Delaware but I moved to Mississippi and I miss it...

[@joiealina]

+Broncosdude 18 please...

[@minkiekitten]

Yep, they closed Kanunaville. There's still one in Las Vegas at Treasure Island. It's much smaller, but they still have the flashy bartending. I think there's also one in Tampa, FL.

[@sodaspider]

Grew UP there... live 300-400 miles away from it now, the grass really is greener on the other side

[@4nikkimay]

That was awesome 🤩

[@huntergant6518]

Thanks for mentioning leipsic raised all my life in that little town

[@hendrickson12352]

Revisiting in 2018

[@weldin]

I'm from delaware and I call it the gas station of the east. 45 mins to Philly or Baltimore, 2 hours to New York, 2 1/2 hours to DC, and an 1 1/2 to the beaches.

[@BmorePatriot]

More like an hour away from B'more.

[@BmorePatriot]

***** Less than that. Like 1 1/2 hour away.

[@ebdunn6530]

+Broncosdude 18 , 2 hours from downtown Wilmington to downtown NYC, via NJ T-Pike; depending on time of day - not rush hour. Check Google Maps: 123 miles.

[@TheShannonigins]

I'm from Delaware now! Thank you Air Force!

[@jamesoconnor9246]

[@EmmiAkina]

[@wspuppy79]

Delaware truly is the Diamond state.

[@Antylikesit]

Dover, born & raised, and this was the funniest thing ever!

[@paulina4047]

okay let me analyze something: delaware the first state which people don’t even know or think it’s a city. it’s the first state which is special, if that’s a special fact that should be taught in school. i can guess the reaction from the students saying “wtf is delaware?!?!?!,!”. if they got a pretest on delaware they’d probably fail unless they’re from delaware. they probably don’t even know George Washington has probably fought there against the British. sentence: “delaware is my city!”

[@dwest8245]

I’m from Delaware, a long way from Delaware, exactly where I want to be

[@MJD1701A]

Bravo thank you very much.

[@Gambitsgal1]

DOVER REPRESENT!!!! lol. I just moved to europe from there. I miss Dover. Yes I know it is the first state. I was born in Michigan and moved to Delaware when I was 3. I am a military brat. So it was always nice there for me. Delaware is close to enough major big cities that I was content to live there.

[@mikemckinney7031]

Over the years since I left, not much has changed in good old Delaware.

[@blakesparktahiti2583]

SEAFORD! I love Seaford, And visiting family in Dover!

[@n1e2l3l4i]

Yay Felton! And Viola, though I don't think I heard that one. I am now living in Dallas and would so much rather have Delaware traffic.

[@topfloorb0ss]

it's funny that selbyville is in delaware and my last name is delaware not only that but i am from delaware

[@daugust5633]

Hey that picture for Greenville is the Brandywine Battlefield in Chadds Ford, PA! I'm from Stanton, Delaware - get it right!

[@DEllamalover]

This is great. No mor kahunaville still makes me cry. :(

[@Zanfacit]

[@Tygalova]
