Lady Gaga's song "You and I" is absolutely genius because she changes the state on the radio wherever it's playing, amirite?

Nooo! But what if you're sitting on the four corners? You've got yourself a problem there.

It says Nebraska, and I live in Chicago.

Chicago is a state?

That's not how it was meant. I was saying it as in Illinois. I'm not that oblivious.

Same with Pretty Girls by Iyaz.

It says Portland because I live in Maine and it's the only one-syllable state so they can't use it...

I don't think every state would sound right in that song... it's got to have the same ring as Nebraska. "Mississippi I love ya!" or "North Dakota I love ya!" don't sound quite as good.

I say Maine is the most awkward...

Yeah, pretty much anything without the same number of syllables as Nebraska.

They'll only change the name of the state if it has almost the same number of syllables as Nebraska. They have to make it fit at least somewhat within the same "beat" of the song.

Holy crap . . . I honestly did not notice that. Then again, it took me weeks of hearing that song on the radio before I even realized it was Lady Gaga. I was wondering why she was saying "DC, YOU AND I!" I just assumed I was mishearing her because it didn't make much sense to me. . .

The original song says "Nebraska" because that's the supposed nickname she's given someone. She isn't actually referring to the state. And it's the radio station that changes the words according to the location, not Lady Gaga specifically. I live in Nashville, Tennessee, so it says "N-Nashville, N-Nashville, I love you" Because Nebraska has three syllables :)

Oklaohoma sounds so natural in the song to me and my bio teacher taught her sister (though not in Oklahoma... yeah flawed logic I know) so I thought maybe she had some connection

Why don't they have Alaska? We are the forever alone state

Um well it isn't supposed to change. It mentions Nebraska because that is where her boyfriend grew up (Taylor Kinney). Personally I've never heard it change.

I'm in North Carolina and I've only heard the North Carolina version on our radio stations here in Raleigh. But one of my coworkers has only heard the Nebraska version until today when the North Carolina version came on I Heart Radio a few moments ago.

Actually for the people that said there wasn't a Maine version or a Massachusetts version, you're both wrong. I've heard both of them. The only ones I have not heard are New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri, Alaska, Hawaii, Vermont & Illinois.
