If all of Minnesota were to get together and sing a song, (a) where would we do it and (b) what would we sing?

(h/t: Open Culture)

And as long as I'm on the subject of musical viral videos, try this one on for "sighs."

Is it wrong of me to think that if all Minnesotans got together to sing a song, it would start with "I don't want to be a chicken, I don't want to be a duck..."?

I has to go to youku to finish the second video. Amazingly it accepted my search in English even though the whole sight was in Chinese. It was a very moving story until the very end. Would anyone in America sit still for a four minute Pantene commercial?

Standing on Lake of the Woods in January.
We'd sing "Six Months of Winter is A-OK."

I can't imagine how great it would be to hear everyone at Elko Speedway singing Gordon Lightfoot's "the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". One word: Magical.

"Old Man River" at the site where the Mississippi begins. Coordinate it with the same song in New Orleans.
