That's the biggest problem. Most people I've talked to didn't know about the vote. OKHS said Rejects campaigned the most, but Lippies were highly motivated. We just look dumber than ever.

Tulsatoday has convinving arguments against this selection. Oklahoma had had so much influence on Rock and Roll from the very beginning. Most of us have never heard of these profane atheists who thumb their nose at everything. They won with one third of one percent of the potential vote. Hundreds of songs were nominated, then cut down to 10. Hanson did not make the final ten, even though they much better represent most of us and still chart higher than Lips. Home Sweet Oklahoma should have won.

I agree that something went wrong in the whole process.  I'm not sure how doing it the way they did (still trying to figure that part out as well) can make it official.

Because it's choosing a state rock song.

Look up the state mammal.  It's not a life changing thing for most of us.

It's just something on the books for anyone who cares.

Make a funny face at a dog in front of a cop here in Oklahoma.  Chances are you won't be arrested but officially it's illegal.

I too care so little about the State Rock Song of Oklahoma I'm not even going to finish this sent

True, it makes little differance in the grand scheme of things. 

I'm still looking for that funny face law btw

I've been over that site many times.  Still see it as a maybe until I see where it's at on the books.  Too often have I seen urban legends passed on as fact lol

Point taken but our state flower was a fungus for years so it wouldn't surprise me that it's illegal to allow a patron to pretend to have sex with a buffalo in your bar.

I call BS on the "ugly faces" law.  Like the spitting on sidewalks law, it has an origin of truth but isn't really a state law.  The spitting on sidewalks law referenced in that article is talking about a Tulsa city Ordinance against the same.  Thus, it is a law in the State of Oklahoma but not a State law.  The "ugly faces" law could be in Podunk Oklahoma.

In fact, I checked four of those "laws" to varying degrees and found none to be accurate or actual Oklahoma Laws.

All the references to "buffalo" in Oklahoma statutes is the creation of a Buffalo Soldier Heritage Corridor.

Well you've killed a little magic for me today.

Oklahoma isn't as much of the fantasy as it used to be for me now.

lol I've always had my doubts.  And what is funny is I turned a postcard with all of those on them into a refridgerator magnet.
