Just Jack Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 So I'm working this week near Cincinnati, and the local morning DJ's keep going on and on about how great it was that the Rolling Stones played "Hang On Sloopy" during there concert this past weekend. Turns out Ohio made it their Official State Rock Song... When Ohio passed a law making "Hang on Sloopy" the official state songThey should have chosen one about their state, like this one from REM or this one from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
KD in CA Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 That is an odd choice, but I can understand them not picking the CSN song....the subject matter was not exactly that state's finest moment.
Beerball Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 That is an odd choice, but I can understand them not picking the CSN song....the subject matter was not exactly that state's finest moment. It's akin to a Red Sox fan and Sweet Caroline
Cynical Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 That is an odd choice, but I can understand them not picking the CSN song....the subject matter was not exactly that state's finest moment. Same can be said of the REM song.

DC Tom Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 And this is the city that got the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Beerball Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 And this is the city that got the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? They played in Columbus (you idiot).
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Isn't there a movie: Ohio. One weird place... This coming from one really weird guy. Beerball may have me beat... MAY. :-)
ricojes Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Screwed up? Hang on Sloopy is EPIC!!!! It is pretty cool when the whole crowd is doing the O-H-I-O. But after a Luckeye game, they play it every other song at the bars, it definitely gets old quick...

Gugny Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 "My City Was Gone," in my opinion, is the best song about Ohio.
DC Tom Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Isn't there a movie: Ohio. One weird place... This coming from one really weird guy. Beerball may have me beat... MAY. :-) Ohio aspires to be Florida of the north. Hell, they even have a "Miami."
YoloinOhio Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 "My City Was Gone," in my opinion, is the best song about Ohio."We are the Champions" is my vote
