Yeah, I heard it. But it really deserves a song all its own.

Still believe in 'flatlanders' huh?

Roger Miller's "King of the Road' has the improper pronunciation of Bangor...if that so important to you.

Hi...first post, new girl on the block - had to comment on this one. I saw this video last week and thankfully learned it correctly for when I get up that way.

Just wanted to add that the one movie, The Banger Sisters, wasn't about 2 Maine girls, right?
