State Song of Oklahoma - Oklahoma

[@PatrickMealeyVO]

How crazy is it that a song from an amazing and groundbreaking piece of musical theater would transcend and become an anthem for a whole state?

[@donaldreynolds6857]

The state song of Oklahoma, written in Manhattan by a pair of native New Yorkers who had never actually been to Oklahoma. But we Oklahomans don't care because we love our song.

This sounds like the opening to a musical.

[@pengiunanimatorguy]

[@eunaekim9216]

Well, indeed it is from a musical, but it's not the opening. It's actually almost the tail end.

[@eunaekim9216]

It's set just before statehood was achieved by Oklahoma. That would put it in the first decade of the 20th century, so it would have been the period of that kind of dialect!

[@user-tt9kb1oz6l]

I disagree with much of what Oklahoma supports politically but the state knocked it out of the ballpark by choosing "Oklahoma" as its state song. Kudos!

Oklahoma's actually some of the richest countries people say that all through the worst but it's actually opposite if Oklahoma and Texas made it alliance the could take all of the US

[@Stormy02-vd6kv]

I’m a 5th generation Okie, no other state like it historically both good and bad. But one thing it did do was to give some of the poorest people in America a place to go to start a future for themselves.

Colorado is better than Oklahoma. Oklahoma is hell for me. Not because of tornadoes. There are more racist people than hippies in Oklahoma. The state also hates Jews. I am a Jew and I am completely offended by the state of Oklahoma. I was born in Colorado and still live in Colorado to this day.
