I sang this song in my choir in elementary school. My favorite part was yelling out my favorite state "Georgia is the best of the...fifty nifty United States." Each kid in the choir picked their state and it sounded really cool when we all yelled different states at the same time. We traveled from Chattanooga, TN to Six Flags over GA my last year of elementary school and performed that song. I will never forget that!

After my wife, Jeanie, and I dropped our daughter, Julia, off in the morning, we stuck around to listen to the announcements, as it was Julia's birthday and we wanted to hear her birthday shout-out. We were listening with another parent who freaked out when she heard the song, "Fifty Nifty United States", begin over the loudspeaker. "Oh this is great! Do you know this song? You don't‽ Oh, it's great! 'Fifty Nifty United States, of the thirteen original colonies…'" What an impression it had made on her growing up, and now our kids will get to experience this fun memorization aid too! Thanks Sagamore morning announcements! ☺
